The President and Fellows of Harvard College voted, some 

 time since, to accept the fund accumulated by the Agassiz Memo- 

 rial Committee for the use of the Museum of Comparative Zool- 

 ogy. In announcing the acceptance, President Eliot wrote : 



"It will be a grateful duty for the President and Fellows, in 

 executing the trust which the Committee have laid upon thorn, to 



of Prof. Agassiz, while they build up and enlarge the Museum of 

 Comparative Zoology to the full proportions which his prophetic 

 zeal imagined for it. The continuous growth of the museum is 

 assured through the successful labors of the committee."
