The annual meetings of the Archeological Institute of America 

 and of the American Philological Association, which were held during 

 the last week of December in Pittsburgh, wire remarkably well 

 attended. From both bodies we received expressions of gratitude 

 for the courtesies extended to them and of appreciation of the work 

 which is being done by the Museum on behalf of those branches of 

 science which they represent. 



The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Founding 

 of the University of Pittsburgh was celebrated during the last week of 

 February in a manner thoroughly befitting the occasion. Repre- 

 sentatives of more than two hundred American and foreign universi- 

 ties were present. Most of these visited the Carnegie Institute 

 during their stay, and we had the great pleasure of greeting among 

 them Senor Xaon, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Argentine 

 Republic, who was especially interested in viewing the replica of the 

 Diplodocus, which is being prepared for shipment to his country as a 

 gift from Mr. Carnegie. 



The Chairman of the Committee on the affairs of the Museum, 

 Mr. Geo. H. Clapp, and the Director, having been deputed both by 

 the Museum and the Board of Trustees of the Institute to represent 

 them on the occasion of the Centenary of the Academy of Natural
