VISITORS
In addition to the genealogists, both professional and amateur
who visited the Hall of Records in the usual large numbers, we
were pleased to have so many young scholars working for the
doctor's or master's degrees. We have tried to list them below,
with the subject of their proposed work. Many of them were
interested in the Revolutionary era, reflecting the revival of
interest in this period, perhaps anticipating the 200th anniver-
sary of the Declaration of Independence to be celebrated in 1976.
