IL Render unto Caesar 



Over the course of years the director of a museum has 

 the opportunity of working with many associates and 

 young assistants, and it is to these oncoming naturahsts and 

 curators that I wish to devote my last few pages. This 

 record would not be complete without a word of recogni- 

 tion of the constant and faithful assistance which I have 

 received from four secretaries — Beatrice Johnson, Frances 

 M. Wilder, Elizabeth Grundy, and, above all, Helene M. 

 Robinson. 



Added to this is the fact that some of my graduate stu- 

 dents have, to my great satisfaction, turned out to be dis- 

 tinguished scholars and remain warm friends to this day. 

 I think at once of Emmett Reid Dunn, Wilham M. Mann, 

 John Wendell Bailey, Afranio do Amaral, and Alexander 

 Graham Bell Fairchild and Marston Bates, son and son-in- 

 law of my old friend David Fairchild. Others who have 

 contributed greatly to my happiness on numberless oc- 

 casions have been Margaret Porter Bigelow, to whom, with 

 Archie and Margie Carr of the University of Florida, I 

 presume to feel in loco parentis; the Harold Loomises of 

 Coconut Grove and their children Margie and Jim; Dick 

 and Helen Gaige at Ann Arbor; Elisabeth Deichmann and 

 her sweet mother. I hold in the warmest affection Dr. 

 Theodore White, my companion in digging at the Thomas 

 Farm in Florida, and Henry Seton, who has gathered some 

 wonderful material for us in the fossil fields of the West. 

 I miss Jim Greenway, now in the Navy, every time I pass
