PROBABLY the major item of interest to the membership of
the Association at present is that the Association may be
installed in its new quarters in the Old Library Building
as early as September 1 of this year. At least that is the present
estimate of the University architect. Probably not all of the units
of the Eugene C. Barker Texas History Center can be set up and
functioning by that time, but the first floor may be ready. Major
problems have been encountered in connection with the stack

research and writing on the lives of outstanding Mexican states-
men of the colonial period of Texas history that has gone on at
the University under the inspiration of graduate professors in
history, mostly Drs. Barker and Hackett. Actually it would be
possible for Morton's book to become the first of a series. Other
fine studies made but all as yet unpublished which come to mind
include: Raymond Estep, "The Life of Lorenzo de Zavala," and
Helen Willits Harris, "The Public Life of Juan Nepomuceno
Almonte." Other studies in progress or just now being completed
are: C. Alan Hutchinson, "Life and Political Role of Gomez
Farias, Mexican Liberal," and Wilbert H. Timmons, "Life of
Jos6 Maria Morelos."
The Coryell County Historical Society was organized on De-

of Raby Park in Gatesville. Upon a plan submitted by the Asso-
