j8 MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY. 



the Marine Biological Laboratory was established at Woods 

 Hole in 1888, Mr. Kidder unhesitatingly extended his interest 

 to the new enterprise, becoming a steadfast supporter of its 

 plans for scientific work and for friendly cooperation with the 

 Fish Commission. Years later it was through him and Mrs. 

 Jerome Kidder that Baird's foresight brought fruit through the 

 acquisition by the Marine Biological Laboratory of the Kidder 

 Land, later to become the site of the Crane Laboratory, and 

 the future site, as we hope, of its further extension. 



The Trustees here record their appreciation of Mr. Kidder's 

 wise counsel in the conduct of the Laboratory and of the kindly 

 and understanding spirit in which he took part in the delibera- 

 tions of this Board and from time to time presided over its 

 meetings. We cherish the memory of his sympathetic per- 

 sonality and generous friendship, and we are grateful for the 

 long continued services that he rendered. 



Resolution on the death of Alfred G. Mayor, drawn up by 

 Dr. E. G. Conklin: 



The death of Dr. A. G. Mayor, Director of the Department 

 of Marine Biology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington 

 at his laboratory at Tortugas, Florida, on June 24 last is 

 lamented as a serious loss by the Marine Biological Labora- 

 tory. Dr. Mayor was not only a distinguished organizer and 

 director of research in tropical marine biology and the leading 

 American student of Ccelenterata but he was ever the loyal 

 friend of the Marine Biological Laboratory. He carefully 

 planned the work of his Department of the Carnegie Institution 

 so as to supplement and not to duplicate or interfere with the 

 work of this Laboratory, and at a critical period in our history 

 he said that he would gladly abandon his cherished projects 

 if by so doing he could materially aid the Marine Biological 

 Laboratory. He was a useful member of our Board of Trustees 

 and he assisted in the work of our institution not only by his 

 attendance and lectures but also by furnishing facilities and 

 generous assistance for investigations in tropical waters to mem- 

 bers of our Staff and Corporation. 



It is especially as a helpful, unselfish, and genial friend that
