Brings back painful memories of finding my father’s “Employee’s Record Card” while conducting research for LEAVING PIPE SHOP. He was born in 1926. For each in a succession of yrs he got a half-cent raise. Broke my 💜. Understood then his constant phrase, “We just don’t have it.”

Highly support this move. I have paid registration & other conference expenses for grad students over the yrs. Until these professional organizations cease to gouge attendees, this is the least we can do for our students. My inst. has allowed me to use my research acct for such.
Hey profs with secure jobs attending the @AHAhistorians conference in New York: if you have grad students attending, & you are able, pay their conference registration. It’s an additional $15 dollars to your own registration & makes a WORLD of a difference to them.
