4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Harvard, seventeen courses, three hundred and fifteen students; 

 Radcliffe, six courses, twenty-one students. 



The resignation of Prof. William M. Davis as Sturgis Hooper 

 Professor of Geology will not, it is hoped, deprive his Museum 

 associates of his wise and critical counsel, while Prof. Reginald A. 

 Daly's appointment as Professor Davis's successor is an assurance 

 that the high ideals of the Sturgis Hooper professorship will be 

 maintained. 



The title of the officers in charge of the collections was changed, 

 by vote of the Museum faculty, from Assistant to Curator; follow- 

 ing this change the Corporation appointed the former Curator of 

 the Museum, Director. 



Two additions have been made to the working staff of the Mu- 

 seum, namely, Dr. Percy E. Raymond as Curator of Invertebrate 

 Palaeontology, and Dr. Thomas Barbour as Associate Curator 

 of reptiles and amphibians. Dr. Raymond has also been appointed 

 Assistant Professor of Palaeontology in the University. It is 

 anticipated that Professor Raymond's appointments will be of 

 mutual advantage. His previous service with the Carnegie 

 Museum, Pittsburgh, and more recently with the Geological 

 Survey of Canada, together with the resources of the collection 

 and library of this Museum should attract students. Recent 

 reports of the Museum give ample evidence of Dr. Barbour's 

 interest in the work of the Museum. 



On the 28th of May, 1912, Dr. William McM. Woodworth of 

 the Museum staff died in Cambridge. Dr. Woodworth graduated 

 from Harvard in 1888. Appointed in 1889 Assistant in micro- 

 scopical anatomy in the University, he held various offices in the 

 University and the Museum and served continuously from the 

 date of his first appointment until his death. As a privileged 

 Assistant, Dr. Woodworth accompanied Mr. Agassiz on most of 

 his expeditions to the tropics, and thus enjoyed advantages un- 

 usual for a zoologist. A skilled technician and an intelligent 

 collector of books Dr. Woodworth, by his will, bequeathed to the 

 Museum a number of zoological books and pamphlets, a collection 

 of specimens, an especially valuable series of works relating to the 

 South Seas, and also many desirable instruments. 



Through the generosity of Mr. George R. Agassiz, fifty thousand 

 dollars ($50,000. — ) has been added to the permanent funds, the 

 income available for the general use of the Museum. 



For monetary gifts applicable for the acquisition of desirable 

 material or for the expenses attendant on collecting the same,
