5. It is recommended that the Trustees invite the Central Division of the American Modern Language Association to hold its meeting for 1900 or 1901 at the University. I am told that there is a possibility of securing the meeting, and as one of our professors, at least, is to be in attendance at the session to be held at Nashville next week and will extend the invitation. I should be glad to have it reinforced by the favorable action of the Board of Trustees. 6.
