The enjoyable and stimulating sessions were 

 supplemented by an evening dinner tendered to 



the association -by the Geographic Society of Chi- 

 cago and iby an informal limch given by the de- 

 partment of geography of the TJmversity of Chi- 

 cago. Both these events gave an opportunity for 

 social greeting and discussion that was much ap- 

 preciated, for in the rush and demands of so large 

 a meeting, and group of meetings, there is but 

 little chance for social get-togethers unless they 

 are deliberately planned for. 



During the sessions the Council met and acted 

 upon a number of important plans. W. M. Davis 

 was appointed representative of the association in 

 the Division of Geology and Geography of the Na- 

 tional Research Council. He succeeds himself for 

 a period of three years. 



It was voted to hold the next annual meeting in 

 the city of Washington during Christmas week, 

 1921; and to recommend to the Council of 1921 

 that the meeting for 1922 be held in the east and 

 that for 1923 in the mid-west. 



A canvass of the ballots showed the following 

 ofScers elected for the year: President, Ellen 

 Churchill Semple; Vice-presidents, A. J. Henry 

 and Curtis F. Marbut; Secretary, Richard E. 

 Dodge; Treasurer, George B. Roorbaeh; Coun- 

 cillors, Eliot Blackwelder, Ray H. Whitbeck, 

 Nevin M. Fenneman. 



The spring joint meeting with the American 

 Geographical Society will be held at the society's 

 building in New York City on April 22 and 23, 

 1921. Program will be published as soon as com- 

 pleted so that all who are interested in the papers 

 to be given may attend. The secretary will be 

 glad to receive the names of those who would like 

 to be informed of meetings of the association so 

 that they may receive programs of papers as issued.
