AFFAIRS OF THE ASSOCIATION.
THE SAN JACINTO DAY MEETING.-In accordance with the
notice sent to members, the Association was called to order in
Room 44 of the University building by President Reagan, Monday
afternoon, April 22, 1901. In the absence of the Secretary, Dr.
Battle was asked to act in that capacity.
The amendments to the constitution as printed in the announce-
ment sent out to members were adopted seriatim, and the amended
constitution was adopted as a whole by a unanimous vote. The
officers of the past year were elected for the ensuing year. Pro-
fessor R. L. Batts was elected member of the Council from the Fel-
lows for the term ending 1904; and Mrs. Bride Neill Taylor from
the members for the term ending 1906.
After an interesting talk from the President on the historical
heritage of the State of Texas, the possibilities of the future, and
the opportunities of the Association, the meeting was adjourned.

stituted being enclosed in parentheses. Words enclosed in paren-
