that have not only enriched the collections of the Museum but have 
also contributed to the increase of scientific knowledge. It was 
through his influence that the scientific publications of the Museum 
were established in the “Bulletin” in 1881 and in the “ Memoirs” in 
1893—and in which he always manifested great interest. It is not, 
however, owing only to the large sums of money which Mr. Jesup 
has given to the Museum that his ideals for its advancement have 
been realized, but it is due to his constant thought of its welfare, his 
stimulating cooperation, his wise counsel and his great foresight, that 
the Museum owes its high place among allied institutions.
