1 Within a month from the date of this report Professor Loeb and his brother 

 James Loeb generously carried out the Committee's recommendation by offering 

 $50,000 for the proposed building, provided that other friends of the University 

 should subscribe an equal sum. The project is now completed, and the research 

 laboratory, named the Wolcott Gibbs Memorial Laboratory through the suggestion 

 of Dr. Loeb, is now in full operation. [Editor, April, 1913.]
