1899 an d 1900 Miss Dunn worked in the Biological Laboratory 

 at Cold Spring Harbor, serving there also this past summer as 

 assistant in ecology. The intervening summer she spent in 

 France, working part of the time in the Marine Laboratory at Ros- 

 coff, Brittany, through the courtesy of M. Robert, the director. 



In the department with which she, was connected Miss Dunn's 

 strong, bright personality and her tireless enthusiasm were no 

 small inspiration to her colleagues. It was her constant en- 

 deavor to promote in every way the best welfare of the depart- 

 ment and her suggestions were always of value. She was 

 intensely interested in her work, and she also possessed in un- 

 usual measure the ability to share this interest with her students, 

 and to impart to them her own enthusiasm. Not only in her 

 own especial field, however, was her influence felt, but also in 

 the college at large, where among the students she was always 

 ready with her kindly sympathy to help them, so far as it lay 

 within her power, out of any of their difficulties. Her prompt 

 and keen perception of all the bearings of a question under dis- 

 cussion, her logical clearness of statement and the inimitable wit 

 which vivified everything she said made her a valued friend and 

 leader. Possessing marked literary ability herself, she delighted 

 in a wide range of interests, and her criticism of a book or a pic- 

 ture was always worth remembering. 



No results of Miss Dunn's scientific work have been published. 

 A study of the development of the embryo in Dclpliiniuvi formed 

 the subject of her thesis presented for the Master's degree. Dur- 

 ing the past year she made numerous notes on experiments con- 

 cerning the influence of external factors on the growth of the 

 moss sporophyte, work which she had hoped to finish in the 

 coming spring. Her work must be regarded more in the light 

 of promise for the future, a promise so bright and so well-founded 

 that it gives to all who knew her additional cause for sadness in 

 her sudden death. 



Miss Dunn was in the middle of her term of office as vice- 

 president of the Associate Alumnae of Barnard College. She 

 was also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advance- 

 ment of Science, and a member of the Torrey Botanical Club and 

 of the Barnard Botanical Club.
