acquaintance with Mr. Rowland Gibson Hazard, and expressed the general sat- 

 isfaction that the name of such a man should be held in abiding remembrance 

 among us. 



Miss Caroline Hazard, sometime President of Wellesley College and for 

 many years a winter resident of Santa Barbara, read a brief memorial address, 

 which is subjoined to this article; after which she made formal tender of a deed 

 of the grounds to the Trustees of the Museum of Comparative Oology. In further 

 commemoration of this event, Miss Hazard had caused to be prepared a beauti- 

 fully illuminated parchment which, suitably framed, now hangs upon the wall 

 of the assembly room. It reads as follows: 



"The Trees of the Wood are full of sap, where the Birds make their Nests 

 which sing among the Branches. 



"CAROLINE HAZARD, eldest daughter of Rowland and Margaret 

 Wood Hazard, from whom she inherited this land, hereby gives and grants to 

 the MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE OOLOGY a tract of two acres, more or 

 less, with butts and bounds duly described in the records of the County of Santa 

 Barbara, to have and to hold for a Bird Refuge and for other purposes of the 

 Museum, as a perpetual Memorial of her eldest brother, first Honorary Curator 

 of the Museum, ROWLAND GIBSON HAZARD." 



Next Mrs. Mary P. B. Hazard, donor of the beautiful building which we 

 were dedicating to her husband, with rare courage and self-possession came 

 forward and addressed our President, Mr. James Marwick, as follows: 



"It is a great pleasure to me, Mr. President, to make the gift of this 

 building to the Members of the Museum of Comparative Oology and through 

 them, I hope, to the City of Santa Barbara. 'Here at the quiet limit of the 

 world may beauty be, and birds bring peace/ To you as representing the Trus- 

 tees of the Museum I give this (presenting illuminated deed) as a deed of this 

 building, and these keys as a token of possession." 



This deed, also the work of the gifted illuminator, Robert Wilson Hyde, 

 reads as follows:
