of Professor Charles C. Nutting (a former student 

 of mine in Indianapolis in 1874) from specimens and 

 photographs secured by him on the expedition of the 

 Albatross to Hawaii in 1902. 



My relations with the academy workers, several 

 of them of marked ability, are most pleasant. With 

 many other similar groups, some of which have 

 shown me special honors, I have also been at one 

 time or another closely connected. 



Active and I am an elected life member, either active or honorary, of 

 honorary several different learned societies, among them the American 

 mem er- Philosophical Society, the Zoological Society of London, the 

 Cobden Club of London, the Royal Academy of Sciences of 

 Sweden, the Linnaean Society of New South Wales, the Natural- 

 ists' Club of Sydney, and the Biological Society of Washington. 

 In 1912 I was president of the American Association for the 

 Advancement of Science. In 1921 I was welcomed as an hon- 

 orary "Associate in Zoology in the Smithsonian Insti- 



tution. " 



To the Audubon Society I have belonged from the beginning 

 and for twenty years or more have been one of its officials, 

 at least in name. In systematic protection of our native birds, 

 this association has carried on a work of the highest importance, 

 whether viewed from the economic or the aesthetic side. Of 

 the Sierra Club, founded in 1891, primarily for the protection 

 of Yosemite Park, I was a charter member and for many years 

 a director. 



Besides the above connections, I have served at home as 

 president (1915) of the National Education Association, trustee 

 and vice-chairman (1915-1916) of the (Carnegie) Foundation 

 for the Advancement of Teaching, trustee of the (Carnegie) 

 Association for Simplified Spelling, vice-president of the 

 American Peace Society, chairman of an American Eugenics 

 Commission, president of the American Vigilance Association, 

 vice-president of the American Society of Social Hygiene, 

 chief director (1909-1911) of the (Ginn) World Peace Founda-
