10 the Canadian association for You are cordially invited to attend the 1973 annual conference of The Canadian Association for Irish Studies , to be held this year from March 21st to March 25th in Montreal, with McGiIl University as host. While this will be the sixth conference in a series, it will be the first held under the auspices of The Canadian Association for Irish Studies. The first four, arranged by the Irish Studies Committee and held from I968 to 1971 at St. Michael's College, University of Toronto, were notable for the most distinguished speakers and artists, and for increasing dimension and success. Because of a general desire to expand activities and to see these conferences continue, and because the administrative burden could not be placed upon the same few people indefinitely, it was determined at a meeting in Toronto in March, 1972, to form the new Association and to rotate the conferences among Canadian universities. Whether or not you are a member of CAIS, you are welcome to attend the 1973 conference at McGiIl. You are also invited, however, to join CAIS, which, in addition to the conferences, provides the annual volume of Yeatr, Studies : An_ International Journal, a Newletter, and cooperative arrangements wit:i Anglo-Irish organizations in other countries. Separate forms are enclosed for membership in CAIS and for registration at the conference. Please direct each as indicated, the former to Professor Norman MacKenzie at Queens , the latter to myself at McGiIl. A tentative conference programme is also enclosed, with a relatively 1'inal one, along with badge, hotel information, etc., tc be sent upon receipt of your registration form and fee (which should be posted before March 5th).
