Show 'HIDE SOCIETY : aOSESJMErai Officers Are Elected and Scholarships Awarded at Provo Meeting. Special td The Tribune. PROVO, June 22. The convention of the Telluride assocltitlon, which has been In session here durinsr the past week, completed its work and adjourned Saturday Satur-day evening. The session was given over almost entirely to reconstruction plans, which were especially necessary because nearly all the members have been in service since the spring of 1917, and a convention during the war period wag therefore impossible. A large number of the members are still in France, so the attendance was somewhat smaller than in previous years. During the war Tellurlde House at Cornell Cor-nell university was occupied by officers of the United States army aeronautical school, but will be reopened this year for scholastic work and occupied by about twenty Telluride scholars. Members of the organization, as well as non members, will carry on educational work at various universities under the auspices of the association, as-sociation, notably at Yale, Purdue, Stanford, Stan-ford, Ames and the University of California; Califor-nia; while extensive educational work will be conducted at Deep Springs, Cal.. in co-operation with L. L. Nunn, owner of that enterprise. At Deep Springs there have been erected a number of buildings similar to those at Olmsted, where students stu-dents receive training of the same nature na-ture as received at the latter place. Among those attending the convention here were several army officers just returned re-turned from France, not yet discharged, of the hundred members belonging to the association, seventy-five were in the . service during the war. Of this number, more than fifty were commissioned offi- cers, ranging in rank from second lieu- 1 tenant to major. The vice president of the association, B. Stuart Walcott of Washington, D. C. was killed in an air fight over the French lines, and Lieu- i tenant L. H. Lathrop also gave his life ! to the cause In France. Among the mem- ! bers are two winners of the croix de ! guerre. I The Tellurlde association was inaugu- , rated by L. L. Nunn and his associates, and the association, together with the Telluride institute, its predecessor, has carried on educational work in connection connec-tion with Telluride Power company and .allied interests, as well as various universities, uni-versities, for more than thirty-five years. The organization, in its early years, specialized spe-cialized mainly in engineering work and successfully operated the first high-tension transmission lines in the world. 4 Gradually the scope was extended to a broader field, so that the members and ' alumni are now engaged in all phases -of educational and commercial activities,' j Including law, medicine, agriculture, en-. en-. gineering, banking and the commercial field in general. The present form of organization or-ganization was adopted at Olmsted in ' 1911 and it now has members in practi-w practi-w tally every state in the Union.
