GROWTH OF GENERAL ENDOWMENT 



The scientific work of the Museum has been well provided 

 for through the munificent bequests of Mr. and Mrs. Morris 

 K. Jesup. By the terms of Mr. Jesup's will, his 

 Need of bequest was strictly for the benefit of scientific 



Endowment exploration, research, preparation, exhibition 

 and publication. The educational work of the 

 Museum, the contact with the public and the relations with the 

 public schools are all inspired by this purely scientific work, 

 yet they cannot legitimately draw support from the Jesup En- 

 dowment. It is therefore to the General Endowment that we 

 look for the means to extend this service to the people. 



It is very gratifying to report that during the past three 

 years several important gifts or bequests to the General En- 

 dowment have been received, as follows : 



In 1916, Margaret Olivia Sage, a special endowment for 



Ornithology $10,000 



Estate of Emil C. Bondy 10,000 



In 1918, Estate of Anson W. Hard, for the development of 



the Library 5,000 



Bequests to the General Endowment, now in process of 

 settlement or pending: 



Estate of : 



Charles E. Rhinelander (estimated) $20,000 



Amos F. Eno 250,000 



Helen C. Juilliard 50,000 



David Lydig (contingent) 10,000 



Emil Wolff (stock value) 5,ooo 



Ludwig Dreyfus 10,000 



Louisa Combe (estimated) 50,000 



James Douglas 100,000 



Margaret L. Baugh, for Anthropology 10,000 



Mrs. Russell Sage (estimated) 1,600,000 



$2,105,000 



Even if the Museum should realize full value on all these 

 bequests, the added income would be little more than sufficient 

 to meet the present general running expenses, for the personal
