COLONEL GREGG RETURNS 

 AS MUSEUM DIRECTOR 



Colonel Clifford C. Gregg, Director of the 

 Museum, who for several years past has been 

 on leave for service with the Army, returned 

 to his post at the Museum May 14. 



As a reserve officer who had served in the 

 first World War, 

 Colonel Gregg was 

 called to active 

 service with the 

 Army on Septem- 

 ber 1, 1940. For 

 twenty-one months 

 thereafter he served 

 in the Adjutant 

 General's depart- 

 ment of the Sixth 

 Service Command 

 in Chicago and 

 during that period 

 he maintained his 

 connection as Director of the Museum. 



In May, 1942, the Army transferred him 

 to duty at posts distant from Chicago. He 

 was G-1 of the Tank Destroyer Center at 

 Camp Hood, Texas; later he was transferred 

 to Headquarters Army Ground Forces in 

 Washington, D.C., where he became Chief 

 of the Enlisted Division, G-1 Section. 

 During the interim, Mr. Orr Goodson was 

 appointed Acting Director, and served in 

 that capacity until April 30 of this year. 



When Colonel Gregg entered on extended 

 active duty it was with a commission as 



COL. C C. GREGG 



major. During his term of service he was 

 successively promoted to the rank of lieu- 

 tenant-colonel and to his present rank, 

 colonel. He was detailed to the General 

 Staff Corps in October, 1942, and has served 

 on the general staff since that time. 



Colonel Gregg was elected Director and 

 Secretary of the Museum in 1937. He has 

 been a member of the staff since 1926. 



Navy Promotes Lester Armour 



Mr. Lester Armour, a Trustee of the 

 Museum now in service with the Navy, 

 has been promoted from Commander to 

 Captain. 



Staff Notes 



Captain Sharat K. Roy of the Army Air 

 Forces (on leave from his Museum post as 

 Curator of Geology) is now stationed some- 

 where in India. He is the combat intelli- 

 gence officer of his squadron. Captain Roy 

 writes in part: "Here I am in the land of 

 mystery. . . . While here, I think I can 

 do some real service for the Departments of 

 Geology and Anthropology, and perhaps 

 other departments of the Museum, too. . . ." 



T/5 Bryan Patterson (Curator of Pale- 

 ontology on leave for ser\nce with the 

 U.S. Army) spent jiart of a 60-day furlough 

 at the Museum. Reported missing in 

 action in Belgium last January, Corporal 

 Patterson was furloughed after being safely 

 returned to the American lines. He had 

 spent several weeks in a Nazi prison camp, 

 during which time he suffered from mal- 

 nutrition, but his health has now been 

 restored. 



Dr. Paul O. McGrew, Acting Chief 

 Curator of Paleontology, has returned from 

 a six weeks" research trip, during which he 

 made studies of fossil horse material at 

 leading museums and universities in the 

 eastern United States and Canada. 



Cycad Collection Received 



The cycad material gathered over many 

 years by the late Professor Charles J. 

 Charaberlin, of the Department of Botany, 

 University of Chicago, has been turned 

 over by the University to this Museum for 

 incorporation in the botanical collections. 



The Museum as a Vacation 

 Haven for Children 



The problem of what to do with children 

 during the long summer vacation from 

 school is aggravated this year, according 

 to reports, by the continued absence of 

 mothers, older brothers and sisters, on war 

 jobs. It may be solved partially by use of 

 the Museum, it is suggested to parents faced 

 with such difficulties. 



The Museum has issued its annual 

 invitation to parents, and to children 

 themselves, to take advantage of the 

 institution's facilities as a safe and enjoyable 

 haven from the perils of traffic and the 

 causes of juvenile delinquency.
