The subject discussed was the program for the next annual meeting of the American Economic Association to be held in St. Louis, December 27 to 30. It was decided that headquarters should be selected at one of the down town hotels, either the Planters or the Southern.

It was decided that under the circumstances it would probably not be wise to attempt to hold a session in the buildings of Washington University owing to the uncertainty of weather during the Christmas holidays and the distance of the University from the down town hotels.

The preliminary program was discussed in detail and the general plan adopted which was incorporated in the preliminary program

published by the Executive Committee. There being no other business, the meeting adjourned.
