REPORT OF DEAN AND REGISTRAR
The excellent character of the work done by this class is shown by the fact that ten members of the class have achieved "Honors." Three are eligible for the honor "magna cum laude" after maintaining an average of 93 per cent. Some changes in cabinets and displays are necessary, and other meals to ensure better lighting are desirable. Maps, cabinets, uniform labels, new cases, and reconstruction of old cases, all require funds not at present available to the Curator, and he earnestly requests that no financial aid be given to this work.
Inside, the woodwork should be oiled, the basement should have more perfect drainage, and there should be some improvement in the heating and ventilation of the Laboratory. While the work of classifying and cataloging the collection is in progress, tlulre should be a constant and valuable addition to the collections over the cores already collected. My students would be happy to continue this work as a means of self-improvement, if the materials for the work could be provided to them.
During the past year the following have made gifts to the collections and through your curator they have been acknowledged:.
