Saturday's program, "Texas and the Changing World," would have
pleased the Society's founding members, who were particularly concerned
with that topic as the fledgling Republic of Texas sought to make its way
in among the nations. Outstanding speakers led invigorating and thought-
provoking discussions throughout the day.
During the business meeting the following officers were elected: William
C. Levin, President, William Seybold, first vice-president, Robert Krueger,
second vice-president, and Ron Tyler, secretary.
The members enjoyed a reception at the Menil Collection before going
to the Ramada Club for dinner and dancing. There the Society's retiring
secretary, Dorman H. Winfrey, and his wife Ruth Carolyn, were honored
for 15 years of service to the Society.
The new Sunday symposium, featuring Elspeth Rostow as moderator and
Admiral B. R. Inman as speaker, attracted a large audience and gave the
members an opportunity to discuss the ideas and questions that developed
during the Saturday program.
The success of the Houston meeting was due in large part to the localarrangements committee headed by Paul Gervais Bell and Jake Hershey,
Bill Guest, and Frank Smith.
