POUNDED 1864,

Department of Biology
We have in the Museum 13,130 cubic feet of space, enclosed by plate
slass, forBird Groupes in their natural surroundings.

In 3s much 2s the American Museum of Natural History , XN. Y. City is the only
Museum in the World that has made a success of this class of work I
consider it a saving of both time and money, to go to N. Y. and learn
their methods, and I ask the Biological Dpt. to present this matter befor
the committie, and ask the Chancellor that I be allowed Co" tne trip at
the expense of the Museum, There is ample funds in the Dpt. to pay the cost
and run the Dpt. the ballance of the year. I 2lso wish to state that
the American Muscum have a generous polYicy toward education and their

methods.
Yours respectfully,

ELIE
