[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] HONOR Joffre Coe of The University of North Carolina was re-elected to a two-year term as ESAF president at the ESAF Annual Meeting. Re-elected vice-president was Sigfus Olafson of the NYSAA Metropolitan and MidHudson Chapters. With the change in the ESAF constitution which takes effect with this new slate of officers Mr. Olafson will assume the presidency in 1964. 4 THE BULLETIN PLEASE For the past several years we have been suggesting (1) that those who attend the Annual Meeting be specifically encouraged to bring representative collections of artifacts from their digs to the conference for inspection by fellow attendants and opinion by specialists; (2) that adequate arrangements be made to display these artifacts; and (3) that a period during which specialists, particularly Fellows, discuss the collections in a semilecture situation, be made a part of the program. Is there any reason why these suggestions should not be initiated this year? HUDSON RIVER VALLEY PROJECTILE POINT CORRELATION WORKSHOP, SEPT. 22, 1962 Mauck Brammer Metropolitan Chapter At a meeting of thirty representatives of five chapters of the NYSAA at the Mid-Hudson Chapter House, Rhinebeck, N. Y., on September 22, Louis A. Brennan of the Metropolitan Chapter presented a plan for an impersonal and objective classification of Hudson River Valley artifacts. A basic system was developed and approved in preliminary form, and a committee from various chapters was selected to continue the study.
