Especially does the laboratory group feel deep gratitude for his 
constant, helpful, and inspiring influence as sponsor of the whole 
enterprise, to Dr. Albert J. Cook, now State Commissioner of Horti- 
culture, then Professor of Biology in Pomona College, an earnest 
friend of all who strive, an active laborer for all things good and true, 
and an ardent believer in the possibility of the ultimate realization 
of all the highest in human hopes. 
Within the laboratory group, perfect kindness and good fellow- 
ship was the great distinguishing feature. <A spirit of interested 
helpfulness pervaded all, and this constant and watchful co-operation 
vastly increased the possibilities of the summer work. Indeed the 
future watchword for this enterprise might well be 
Co-operation!
