34 Report of the President 



the first great educator to recognize that the University 

 should not duplicate the work of the Museum, but should 

 send its students here for their advanced practical studies 

 and researches. This union has led to the training of 

 many men who are fast becoming eminent in several fields 

 of natural history. 



He first served the Museum on the East Asiatic Com- 

 mittee, with Messrs. Hill, Harriman, Dodge and SchifL 

 Elected a Trustee May 5, 1905, he served on the Nomi- 

 nating Committee, the Jesup Memorial Committee, the 

 Executive Committee, the Committee on the Museum for 

 the Blind, the Committee on Investigation of Museum 

 Administration, and the Auditing Committee. To each 

 he gave of his valuable time and rare judgment in public 

 affairs. 



During the eleven years of his life as Trustee, he never 

 hesitated when opportunity offered to show his intense in- 

 terest in the public welfare and his faith in the great pub- 

 lic educational work which the Museum is undertaking.

 gather new spirit and strength from his splendid example 

 as an American citizen.
