Kansas Academy of Science. 7 



has two connecting rooms, used for the ofRce and library, and 

 the museum occupies the adjacent corridor. 



The museum has been greatly increased by the gift of the 

 state mineral display erected at the St. Louis Exposition, and 

 given suitable cases to hold this large amount of material. It 

 thus has the finest economic collection of the Kansas mineral 

 industries in the state — an exhibit which received two gold 

 medals, twenty-two silver medals, and fourteen bronze medals. 



The Academy will have permanent quarters in the Memorial 

 building whose erection is now begun, and with this advantage 

 will enter upon a new career of expansiveness and usefulness.
