24 Report of the President 



For the Tertiary Hall, preliminary designs for four murals 

 have been prepared by Mr. Charles R. Knight, under a gift 

 from Mr. J. P. Morgan, Jr. 



JESUP FUND 

 As a memorial to the late President, Mr. John J. Clancy* 

 ordered a bronze bas-relief of Mr. Jesup from the sculptor 

 Mr. J. E. Fraser, a pupil of Saint-Gaudens. This bronze 

 portrait represents Mr. Jesup in the woods of his estate at 

 Lenox and will be suitably placed in the Jesup Hall of Woods 

 and Forestry. 



The publication of the Memoirs of the Jesup North Pacific 

 Expedition has not advanced as rapidly as could be desired, 

 and there remain two volumes and four parts of volumes to 

 complete this great series. Professor Franz Boas of Columbia 

 University, the editor, has promised to resume his work on 

 the manuscript, and Dr. Waldemar Jochelson is pursuing his 

 work on the Yukaghir. When complete this monumental 

 series will include twelve volumes. 



The income of the Jesup Fund, now amounting to $50,986, 

 has been devoted during the year to the following purposes, 

 according to the terms of the late President's bequest: 



To the purchase of specimens and collections for 

 practically all the departments of the Museum, which 

 include
