ANNUAL BEQUESTS 
The Annual Flower Sermon, provided for in the will of 
Mr. Shaw, was preached at Christ Church Cathedral, on 
May 8, by Rev. John H. Lever, Rector of the Mariner’s 
Church, of Detroit, Michigan. 
The banquet of the Board of Trustees of the Garden was 
held at the Hotel Jefferson, on the evening of December 28, 
on the occasion of the meeting in St. Louis of the American 
Historical Association. Chancellor Frederic A. Hall pre- 
sided, and the retiring president of the American Historical 
Association, Jules Jusserand, Ambassador of the French 
Republic, delivered an address on ‘‘The Rearing of Ambas- 
sadors.’’ 
The $500 bequest provided by Mr. Shaw ‘‘for premiums or 
prizes at a flower show or exhibit’’ was awarded in connection 
with the spring flower show of the Garden Club of St. Louis. 
RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTION 
In the laboratories, as also in the herbarium, research work 
is constantly in progress, though the volume of the endeavor 
in this direction is, of course, materially affected by the 
number and grade of the graduate students in attendance. 
Beginning with the opening of the academic year, 1921-22, 
the quota of graduate students has been larger than at any 
time since 1917 and fully equal to the usual pre-war enroll- 
ment. On this account, too, a maximum number of ad- 
vaneed courses is being offered preliminary to, or in con- 
junction with, the research in progress. Besides the regular 
members of the Garden scientific staff, research is under- 
taken both by other members of the corps of instruction 
and by the graduate students mentioned, the names of both 
classes appearing in the sub-joined section. 
Graduates, Fellows, and Investigators.—Those taking grad- 
uate work and registered as candidates for degrees in the
