at the University OF Utah. has been
invited to read paper before the
American Historical association at
Berkeley. Cal. some time during NEXT
November This invitation comes as
"a recognition of the work done by
Professor Young at leading universi-
ties Of the country. The Professor has
devoted a great deal of time to re-
search Of history and especially the
history OF Utah along the lines OF So
cial, Industrial and economic develop
mont The subject OF the paper he Will
read at Berkeley will be some phase
OF Western history. Professor Young
has given special attention TO Spanish
explorations of the Pacific coast and
the Rocky Mountain region. Recent
IN ne has had an opportunity Of con-
sulting an old Spanish manuscript in
the library of the Antiquarian society
at Worcester. Mass. which gives an
account OF early Spanish explorations.
It * an honor to the state. and the
state institution with which Profess
sor Young is connected, that he has

fore the Historical society. at it's No
yember session II is the right kind Of
