that we owe our most important sites, including the land on 

 which the Crane laboratory stands; the present status of the 

 Laboratory is in an important respect the fruition of the far-

The Trustees at their meeting on August 8, 1922, established 

 a class of emeritus trustees to honor Dr. Cornelia M. Clapp 

 who expressed her desire to be relieved from membership on 

 the Board after twenty-two years of service. This action was 

 taken in acknowledgment of the exceptional spirit of devotion 

 displayed toward the laboratory from its foundation to the 

 present time by Miss Clapp and in the confident expectation 

 of her continued interest. Dr. Clapp was accordingly elected 

 Trustee Emeritus at the meeting of the Board in August 1922. 



At the meeting of the Corporation August 8, 1922, two new

 investigators at the Marine Biological Laboratory. 



At the meeting both of the Trustees and also of the Corpora-

 were commemorated in the following memorials:

 on January 25, 1921. 



The career of Professor Sedgwick as a teacher is well known. 

 He was a fluent lecturer, and as one of his students has said he 

 could make science popular and could take subjects of popular 

 interest and clothe them in the language of science. Soon after 

 he came to Boston he became consulting biologist of the State 

 Board of Health and after that was identified with the interests 

 of the American Public Health Association. He has been 

 called the "Ambassador of Health." It is, however, as a mem- 

 ber of the Board of Trustees of the Marine Biological Laboratory 

 that we remember him today. In 1887 came an awakening of
