As soon as the invited guests were seated, the addresses that foilow 
were delivered to a most sympathetic audience that fiiied the Foyer 
and overflowed into the Northwest Coast Hall behind the statue. At 
the close of President Osborn’s welcoming remarks, the veil was removed 
from the marble portrait of Mr. Jesup, and the assembly showed its 
appreciation of the likeness. of their former friend. After the close of 
the addresses, the members of the Museum and guests present were 
given an opportunity to visit the newly arranged North Pacific Hail, 
the Jesup Forestry Hall and the Darwin Synoptic Hail.
