Description:Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal, Vol. 3: Of the New York State Historical Association The twenty-second annual meeting of the New York State Historical Association was opened Monday evening, October 3, 1921, at the Fort William Henry Hotel and closed on October 5. About two hundred delegates from all parts of the State were present. Vice-President Gilbert D. B. Hasbrouck presided in the absence of President George A. Blauvelt, who had not sufficiently recovered from a long illness to enable him to be at the meeting. The Rev. Dr. William M. Beauchamp of Syracuse opened the sessions with prayer and Mr. Elmer J. West of Glens Falls welcomed the delegates to Lake George and vicinity. Dr. Frank H. Severance made the response and Judge Hasbrouck then introduced the first speaker of the evening. The program which follows was carried out in all details with the exception of the paper by Dr. Beauchamp, which he chose not to deliver, and the paper on conservation which was delivered by Mr. William G. Howard in the absence of Mr. Pettis. Like many previous meetings, this was reported to be "the best ever." The automobile trip on Tuesday afternoon, a detailed itinerary of which is published herewith, was one of great profit to all members interested in history. The same may be said of the trip by boat and automobile to Fort Ticonderoga on Wednesday morning. At the fort itself Mr. Pell entertained the members after a style which reminded one of the welcomes which were given to guests in the period to the history of which the meeting was largely devoted. Miss Pitcher's paper of the first evening had given a splendid word picture of the entire region, beginning with Champlain's discovery in 1609, and closing with Burgoyne's surrender in 1777, so that the members were well prepared to enjoy the historic and literary associations of the locality.
