Southern Society of New York to Elect a New Leader
Two weeks remain before the Southern Society of New York elects officers with President Calhoun not seeking re election and Capt. Hugh Gordon favored as successor. Gordon advocates turning the society into an intellectual force reflecting Southern opinion, highlighted by his gift of a 10 000 volume library. The piece mentions La Graver a possible editor, social events at Captain Calhoun’s home and Manhattan Club, and various Southern figures visiting New York.
