Hotel space in Nashville is expected to be at a premium over the week-end of the meeting, because of the presence in town of other competing attractions. Rooms have been reserved for our members, however, at the Andrew Jackson Hotel (314 Sixth Avenue, North; a downtown hotel, largest in the city; $6.00-8.50 single, $8.00-$ 10.50 double, $10.50$ 13.00 double with twin beds; write c/o Mr. Gutridge, assistant manager), and, nearer the campus of Vanderbilt Uni versity, at the Allen Hotel (2004 West End Avenue; $7.50 and up for one or two in a room; free parking) and at the Medical Arts Building (located on a corner of the campus; new twin- bedded rooms with private bath and telephone and maid service; not a public hotel, but very desirable; $5.00 single, $8.00 double; write to Mr. Gordon Connor, Seventh Floor, Medical Arts Building, 21st and Garland). Reservations should be made immediately. In writing, make men tion of the Southern Classical Association, under which shortened name the rooms are being held for our members. Other good downtown hotels are the James Robertson (118 Seventh Avenue, North), the Sam Davis (132 Seventh Avenue, North), and the Noel Hotel (202 Fourth Avenue, North). The Andrew Jackson and other downtown hotels are all within a few blocks of the railroad station. The Allen Hotel, the Medical Arts Building, and the campus of Vanderbilt University are a short mile the other way. There is frequent city bus service, but members stay ing downtown may find that the best way to get out to the meetings is to share a cab. .
