AFFAIRS OF THE ASSOCIATION  THE ANNUAL MEETING

The regular meeting of the Association was held at the University of Texas on March 2. On recommendation of the Executive Council a number of new members were elected. The following resolution was adopted endorsing a bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Hon. Morris Sheppard for the erection of a National Archives Building at Washington:

Resolved by the Texas State Historical Association in annual meeting assembled, That the President and Secretary be authorized to unite with the Texas Library and Historical Commission in a joint memorial to the House of Representatives of the United States, requesting that more adequate provision be made for safe-guarding the archives of the national government, and endorsing the plan of erecting a National Archive Building.

Resolved, further, That a copy of this memorial be sent to each Senator and Congressman from Texas.

The treasurer's report was received and approved. It is printed below, and it shows the Association to be in a fairly satisfactory financial condition. On recommendation of the Executive Council, the name of The Quarterly was changed to The Southwestern Historical Quarterly. Though as much Texas matter will hereafter be published as was formerly, the change of name will enable the Association to enlarge the scope of The Quarterly by publishing material on other portions of the Southwest. This, it is hoped, will lead to betterment of the Association's finances, and to a considerable enlargement of The Quarterly. Officers were elected for the ensuing year, as follows: Judge A. W. Terrell, president; Miss Katie Daffan, Mr. Beauregard Bryan, Dr. M. J. Bliem, Mrs. A. B. Looscan, vice-presidents; Dr. Charles W. Ramsdell, corresponding secretary and treasurer; Judge Z. T. Fulmore and Mrs. D. F. Arthur, members of the Executive Council.

At a meeting of the Fellows, Miss Elizabeth H. West was elected a Fellow, and the following members of the Executive Council were elected to the publication committee: Judge Z. T. Fulmore, Dr. W. J. Battle, and Mr. E. W. Winkler. The president and the recording secretary and librarian, Professor E. C. Barker, are ex efficiis members of the committee.
