Excerpt from Papers of the American Historical Association, Vol. 5

The attendance upon the seventh annual meeting of the American Historical Association was the largest yet recorded. One hundred and eight members were present; last year there were eighty-seven. There was a large and sympathetic Washington audience at each of the six sessions of the Association. An afternoon reception was given to members and the ladies accompanying them by Mr. and Mrs. William D. Cabell.

During the last days of the old year there were five scientific conventions in the federal city, four of them upon the same premises, at the Columbian University or in the National Museum. These five conventions were: (1) the American Historical Association; (2) the American Society of Church History; (3) the American Economic Association; (4) the American Forestry Association; and (5) the Geological Society of America. All of these various societies were in session upon the same days, and yet there was no conflict of interest. Each society had its own constituency, and each its own peculiar attractions.
