Annual Meeting

We are pleased to report that Associates membership has grown to more than seven hundred, and we invite you to assist our continuing growth by recommending anyone you know who might be interested in becoming a member.

The Associates annual meeting last May was attended by almost a hundred members and guests who enjoyed an illustrated talk by Gene Basset, editorial cartoonist of Scripps-Howard Newspapers. In the annual report at this meeting our trustees announced the initiation of library endowments for the following purposes:

• Diplomacy and international relations
  
• Science and humanity
  
• Special collections (manuscripts and rare books)

We invite you to contribute to the development of any of these new endowments, or to endowments for other areas.
