Opened Area to World. 
“The Hayden survey,” he said, “began 
the work of opening to the world por¬ 
tions of this country how so rich in 
resources of all kinds. I am delighted 
to see the establishment of this tablet 
commemorating the tremendous work 
they did and honoring thepi for the 
great vision they must have had to 
carry through to the conclusions they 
reached.” 
Mr. Jackson read several letters from 
invited guests who were unable to at¬ 
tend, among them one from Senator 
Lawrence C. Phipps of Colorado, who 
wrote: 
“Dr. P. V. Hayden, pioneer American 
geologist, is entitled to the Nation’s 
honor because of his services in con¬ 
nection with the establishment of this 
valuable branch of the Federal Govern¬ 
ment. Dr. Hayden’s services were of 
substantial aid in developing the West 
and in interesting the entire country 
in Western possibilities.” 
The ceremonies were held in rooms 
on the second floor of The Star Build¬ 
ing, corresponding in location to those 
occupied by the Hayden survey in the 
building which stood on the same site. 
Dr. Holmes Absent. 
Dr. William H. Holmes, director of 
the National Gallery of Art, artist, 
geologist and archeologist, one of the 
noted surviving members of the survey, 
who had been scheduled to preside, was 
unable to be present. He joined the 
original Hayden party in 1872 as an 
artist and assistant geologist, later be¬ 
coming geologist. His work with the 
party began a distinguished scientific 
and artistic career, leading to his ap¬ 
pointment as head curator of the Na¬ 
tional Museum in charge of the depart¬ 
ments of ethnology, archeology, tech¬ 
nology, history and art, from 1910 to 
1920; chief of the Bureau of American 
Ethnology and curator of the National 
Gallery. He produced upward of 200 
official scientific publications and his 
paintings of scenes visited by the Hay- 
- : --- 
ers, packers and cooks were added to 
each division. 
The bronze plaque bears the seal of 
the United States and is of beautiful 
design, framed simply but effectively.
