ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Professor Atwood. Like the long-established course in Montana, 

 under Professor Woodworth, this was very successful. In all, 

 twenty-one men completed the summer courses, which now may 

 count for the higher degrees and afford the best kind and quantity 

 of training in field methods. The large demand for these technical 

 summer courses last summer illustrates the desirability of an 

 endowment of the summer courses beyond that of the invaluable 

 Sayles Fund. 



Messrs. Robert W. Sayles and Edward Wigglesworth continued 

 their voluntary and highly appreciated work as the respective 

 curators of the Exhibition Collections and Gardner Collection 

 of Photographs. Mr. Wigglesworth generously acted as assistant 

 in Geology 8, without salary. In June he began an investigation 

 of Martha's Vineyard under the general direction of Professor 

 Woodworth. The summer's work suggests some new correlations 

 of the formations in that island with those of Long Island and 

 indicates the necessity of revising former ideas as to the nature 

 and magnitude of the Glacial moraine in Martha's Vineyard. 



This year the Josiah Dwight Whitney scholarship was divided 

 between Messrs. J. L. Ferguson, H. V. Smith and H. N. Witt, 

 all studying field geology in the western Cordillera. From an 

 unexpended balance of the Sayles Summer School Fund, financial 

 aid was also supplied to Mr. T. H. Clark, a student working in the 

 Montana field course. 



The report of Mr. Sayles will be found on another page. It is 

 eloquent of his activity and of the truly remarkable figures showing 

 by actual count the great number of visitors to the Geological 

 Museum. Mr. Sayles also mentions the high efficiency of our 

 preparator and custodian, Mr. G. M. Flint, an opinion shared 

 by all members of the Department. 



Mr. Edward Wigglesworth has summarized the condition of 

 the Gardner Collection of Photographs in the following table:
