364 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY. 



December 2, 1914. 

 My dear Mr. Eliot: 



I have the letter of November 28, signed by you and Mr. Trowbridge, 

 in regard to the name of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. 

 I was elected a member of that Academy many years ago, and my 

 name simply appears as one of its members. I have also been for 

 many years a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,, 

 and I confess it never occurred to me that there could be any harm in 

 the name "American Academy of Arts and Letters." We have a 

 National Academy of Sciences and I do not see why any of them should 

 conflict. I fear it is too late now to change the name, for the bill has 

 already passed the Senate, and the name has now been held so long by 

 the American Academy of Arts and Letters that it would be very 

 difficult for them to alter it. 



Very truly yours, 



(Signed) H. C. Lodge.
