[April 4,

Expedition over the report brought back by Dr. Hovey of his interviews with you and the members of your natural science faculty on Monday and Tuesday of this week. We welcome the addition of you yourself to this committee and of Professor Bayley to the Committee in Charge, as cementing the high practical cooperation expressed in your generous appropriation of $10,000 toward the scientific work of the expedition, and we look forward with much pleasure to the intimate association between your institution and ours that will eventuate therefrom. We congratulate you upon having two such well-equipped graduates in science as Messrs. Ekblaw and Tanquary to supply for membership on the staff. We are sure that you will not fail to receive much scientific credit abroad as well as at home and much valuable material for your exhibition and study collections from participation in the enterprise. Your strong cooperation in the Crocker Land Expedition makes the enterprise of national interest—a feature that is particularly pleasing to the organizing institutions and valuable to American science in general. Very sincerely yours, Chairman of Honorary Committee. The foregoing statement, with the accompanying correspondence, was received to he printed in the minutes. At this point Miss Watson withdrew.
