The one-hundredth annual meeting will be held at the Marriott Marquis in New York at 46th Street and Broadway. The hotel is large enough to accommodate all the sessions under one roof, but a nearby hotel, the Milford Plaza, will be used for overflow accommodations. The reservation form is contained in this issue of Perspectives and it should be returned directly to the hotel of your choice. The preregistration form will be found in the printed program that will be mailed to the membership in mid October.
The meeting will open the evening of December 27 with four sessions and conclude on the afternoon of the 30th.
Business Meeting: Resolutions for the business meeting signed by twenty-five members of the Association will be accepted until December 15; resolutions received by November 1 will take precedence and will be published in the December Perspectives.

Conkin, Department of History, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37235.
