The Conference on Student Government Associations is a 26-year-old annual convention of college student governments in the United States. It annually hosts about 550 delegates along with an even greater number of non-delegate student government officials. The purpose of the conference is to improve student government associations by coordinating expert speakers, workshops, and roundtable discussions of groups. The conference is held at Texas A&M University.

“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“The government will ... go on in the highly democratic method of conscripting American manhood for European slaughter.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free- floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader’s full attention.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
