Dr. Seymour V. Connor, of the Southwest Collection of Texas
Technological College, has announced the establishment of a
memorial fund to honor the memory of Louis Wiltz Kemp.
Donors should send contributions directly to Dr. Connor.
Rex Strickland has written from Texas Western College, out
at the far Texas corner of El Paso, concerning interesting historical
developments in that area. About the middle of December it is
expected that John Denny's Century of Free Masonry at El Paso
will come from the press. This is to be the first volume of the
Texas Western College's studies in regional history. Plans are
being developed to follow this initial publication with Morgan
Broaddus' Bench and Bar of El Paso. The format for the new
series has been worked out by Carl Hertzog, master designer and
a member of the Association's executive council. Samuel Dale
Myers, Jr., will lend his assistance to the new series in an editorial
capacity.
