T he Societ y was called to order in the Gridiron Room of the \ illard Hotel, Washington, D. C., by the Chieft ain, Rev. James Mitchell Ma­ grud er, D. D., announcing the twenty-first annual gat hering of th e American Clan Gregor Society. Invocati on was by the Chaplain of the Societ y, Rev. Enoch M agruder Thompson. The report of the Scribe, Robert Lee Magruder, Jr., pointed out that minutes of the 1929 gathering had been published in the Year Book of th e Society. He stressed th at our addr ess list of members was incorrect, owing to failure of members to notify of changes in address. He announced tha t only two bible records had been submitted durin g the rear and urged the importance of members sending in certified copies of such record for preservation in the year book. He urged the membe rs to renew interest in the organization by attend ance at the annual gatherings and securing new members, together with furnishing items of general inte rest relati ve to families of Clan members. The report of the Registrar, M rs, O. O. Van den Berg, showed that only four new members had become affi liated with the Society during th e year, namely: 675 Mrs. Gertrude Berry Patterson, 322 W. Center St., Fostoria, Ohio. 676 Miss Mary Adelaide Jenkins, Hunting Ridge, Edmondson and Swan Ave., Baltimore, Md. 678 Irs. Wilson B. Da vis (jennie L. Embry) 944 Green St., Augu sta, Ga. 679 Mrs. Joseph F. Bartoli (Addie Lou Davis) 125 East 106th St., New York, N. Y. Th e Registrar announced with regret that the appli cations of Dr. Henry Allan Gleason, of New York Cit y, and Mr. and Mrs. George Brick Smith, of ewport ews, Va., were of necessity refused, owing to lack of data. Ea ch of the se app licants would add much to the personnel of our Society and it is hoped th e missing information will be found. Mrs . Van den Berg further stated th at she had purchased a bolt of ribbon in the Ma cGregor plaid, from which to cut badges for new mem­ bers. Th e report of the Historian, Mi ss Mary Th erese Hill, showed the following deaths : 113 Robert Lee Magruder, Sr Born 1856, Died 1929 252 Mrs. Helen Mun caster assaway Born 1863, Died 1930 287 Mrs. W.
