A belated welcome back to the new academic year. I apologize for the lateness of this missive, which was delayed by the need to prepare a slate of candidates for the election for at-large delegates, which is included.
Bravo!
Professors Daniel Eisenberg and Fred Jehle, principal architects of the journal and web page, have attracted the attention of the managing editor of the daily newspaper of the city of Alcalá de Henares, who has congratulated the Society for those publications. He also expressed surprise that those who do not live in Cervantes's birthplace would demonstrate so much interest in the author.
E. C. Riley Homage
Edwin Williamson has informed us that the Bulletin of Spanish Studies will honor the memory of E. C. Riley through its January 2004 number in recognition of his unique contribution to international research into Cervantes, and in gratitude for his expert service to the Bulletin. The Number, which will be edited by Jeremy Robbins and Edwin Williamson, will also be published in hardback as a book edition, and will contain articles by some nineteen internationally known specialists on Cervantes. The editors invite subscriptions to the Tabula in Memoriam by the deadline of October 30, 2003. For information, contact Professor Williamson at hipehws@srv0.arts.ed.ac.uk.

Back Issues of Cervantes
It will soon become necessary to reduce the number of back issues of the journal maintained by the Society for lack of storage space. Although there are some numbers that are out of print, most are available. Members who wish to purchase individual numbers may do so at the reduced price of $5.00 per number. In addition, if members know of institutions which, due to exigencies, have not otherwise been able to subscribe to the journal, they may propose such institutions as recipients of as complete a run of the journal as we can assemble. In the latter case, members should address a letter to the Society, care of the Secretary/Treasurer, explaining why the institution is eligible for the gift.
Dues
It is once again time to request that dues for the year 2004 be paid. No
changes in the amount have been made. Members should be aware that those
whose dues have not been paid through 2000 have been dropped from the
subscription list. Those whose dues have not been paid through 2002 will
be dropped as of January 1, 2004. Members paying back dues should make every
effort to pay up through 2004. Please check your address label for your last
paid year (those facing purging have the date highlighted on the label).
It is the member's responsibility to inform the Society about changes of
address. If the dues information on your label does not agree with your records,
please let me know.
