THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL 

 ASSOCIATION 



The council of the association has voted 

 unanimously to hold the annual meeting at 

 Pittsburgh instead of Ann Arbor, as was 

 previously announced. 



The Pittsburgh meeting will be held on 

 Thursday to Saturday, December 27, 28 and 

 29. The sessions will take place in the school 

 of applied design of the Carnegie Institute of 

 Teehnology. The sessions will overlap the 

 meetings of the American Association for the 

 Advancement of Science which holds its con- 

 vention in Pittsburgh, from December 28 to 

 January 2. Sections H and L of the Amer- 

 ican Association for the Advancement of Sci- 

 ence will meet in rooms in the same building, 

 and it is probable that there will be joint ses- 

 sions with these sections. Arrangements will 

 be made for visiting the psychological labora- 

 tory and psychological clinic at the University 

 of Pittsburgh, which is near by. The meeting 

 place is within walking distance of the hotel 

 headquarters at Hotel Scheuley. In order to 

 reach the meeting place by street car, the 

 members should take a car running to Forbes 

 Street and Woodlawn Avenue and leave the 

 car at Woodlawn Avenue. Those who come to 

 Pittsburgh from the East on the Pennsylvania 

 Railroad and wish to go directly to the meet- 

 ings, should leave the train at the East Liberty 

 Station and take a street car at the corner of 

 Penn and Shady Avenues. 



The annual dinner will occur on Thursday 

 evening, December 27, at the Pittsburgh 

 Athletic Association, which is across the 

 street from the hotel headquarters. The 

 dinner will be followed by the annual presi- 

 dential address and smoker. 



Hotel headquarters will be at the Schenley 

 which is also to be the hotel headquarters for 

 the American Association for the Advance- 

 ment of Science. It is the only hotel imme- 

 diately accessible to the meeting places; the 

 other hotels are located in the business dis- 

 trict which is from twenty to thirty minutes 

 distant, by street car. Professor Miner, as 

 local member of the executive committee, will 

 be glad to arrange for rooms in the dormi- 

 tories at the Carnegie Institute of Technology 

 or in neighboring boarding houses, for those 

 who may so prefer. Luncheons will be served 

 at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. 



The program will be sent to members on 

 December 1. In order to have it finished by 

 that date, all titles, together with abstracts, 

 must be in the secretary's hands by November 

 24. It is proposed as in previous years, to 

 print the abstracts in advance of the meeting. 

 They will then be available for distribution 

 among the members in attendance. The at- 

 tention of the members is called to a motion 

 defining the functions of the program com- 

 mittee and the method of submitting papers 

 to be read at an annual meeting, which was 

 recommended by the council and passed by the 

 association at its last annual meeting. The 

 motion reads as follows : 



That the committee be granted full power in the 

 selection and rejection of papers; 



2. That no title shall be accepted unless accom- 

 panied by a summary of the paper giving the main 

 points to be developed; that the summary shall be 

 submitted typewritten in triplicate and ready for 

 printing; that it shall not exceed one printed page 

 of the Proceedings, and shall contain no tables or 

 drawings ; 



3. That all titles and summaries shall be in the 

 hands of the secretary on a certain date to be set 

 by the committee and announced to members of 

 the association; 



4. That the titles of rejected papers shall not be 

 listed on the program, nor their summaries pub- 

 lished in the proceedings.
