On Wednesday, the morning session was devoted to reports from delegates as to the opinions of officers of universities, colleges, and the graduate clubs regarding the future of the Federation. At the afternoon meeting, owing to administrative difficulties, it was decided to disband the Federation organization, and to take its place a new organization to be known as, "The American Association of Graduate Students," was formed, with the same general purpose as that of the old organization, namely, the promotion of graduate study in America. The following temporary officers of the new association were elected: President, H. N. Davis 2G., of Harvard; secretary, Miss Martha T. Fiske, of Radcliffe; treasurer, Miss C. B. Parker of Radcliffe.
