Mrs. A. r. Bourne, Professor of

a distinguished and justly merited
honor, having been notified through
A. Howard Clark, Secretary of the
American Historical Association
whose headquarters are at the
Smithsonian Institute, at Wash

member of that distinguished body.
Mrs. Bourns's new honor places
her in an enviable class, indeed, as
the membership of the American
Historical Association is composed
of the most eminent educators and
scholars of this country. and an
honorary membership of men of
distinguished attainments
in other countries.
