Iacobsen wrote Sixteen articles between 1936 and
19 3: Shieis, sive belween 1936 and 1948. Espinosa only hecame a member inl940, but by 1943 he published sive articles in addition to a book. Neither Corrigan nor Hamilton published articles in Midinmerica belween 1936 and 1940, though each had published an article apiece in the years preceding the InStitute,

Shi eis reviewed books every year except for 1940while he was a resident member of the institute and in murteen of the subsequentiwenty-three years. Garraghan appeared in every volume belween 1936 and
