RE GULATIONS 



FOR THE 



MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 



At a meeting of the Faculty, held November 5, 1863, it was voted to 

 adopt, until otherwise ordered, the following Rules and Regulations for 

 the administration of the Museum, viz. : — 



1. That all assistants in the Museum be annually appointed by the Faculty 

 upon nomination of the Curator, and that their compensation be fixed by the 

 Faculty upon recommendation of the Curator. 



2. To obtain an appointment in the Museum a candidate is expected to 

 furnish satisfactory evidence of his ability to co-operate in the general work of 

 the institution, arid of his desire faithfully to devote himself to this task. An 

 original investigation, or a series of preparations requiring exceptional skill, 

 may be taken as such evidence, if coupled with a detailed account of the 

 candidate's scientific pursuits up to the time of application. 



3. The Curator is authorized to employ temporarily, in the Museum, indi- 

 viduals who may not be entitled to a regular appointment, as assistants, or 

 may be unwilling to accept such a position. 



4. No one connected with the Museum shall be allowed to own a private 

 collection, or to traffic in specimens of Natural History, except for the benefit 

 of the Museum. If an officer of the Museum, or a student working for the 

 Museum, possesses a private collection with which he is unwilling to part, he 

 must deposit the same in the Museum during his connection with the institution. 

 ' 5. No one connected with the Museum is authorized to work for himself in 

 the Museum during the working hours fixed for Museum work. Whatever is 

 done by any one connected with the Museum, during that time, is to be con- 

 sidered as the property of the Museum, but due credit is to be given him by 

 the Curator in his Annual Reports. Any claim or grievance concerning this 

 kind of work may be submitted to the Curator, or to the Faculty through the 

 President of the University, at any time within three months after the 

 publication of the Annual Report. 



6. Every one admitted to work regularly in the Museum is expected to be 

 at his work within the walls of the Museum at least seven hours every day, 

 unless duly authorized to be absent. Vacations from Museum work are to be 

 considered as a reward for special application and effective work, but not as 

 a right. 



7. No one is authorized to publish, or present to learned societies, any- 

 thing concerning his work at the Museum, without the previous consent of the 

 Curator. All such contributions are to be submitted to the Curator for 

 examination.
