Massachusetts Marion Dodge Weston, B.A., Laboratory Assistant B.A., Mount Holyoke West Newbury, Massachusetts Sarah J. Agard, M.A., Curator of Museum South Hadley, Massachusetts Departments of Soology and physiology 1 lit- philosophy of natural history held a place in the curriculum for thirty-five years, zoology being substituted in 1874. The first zoological laboratory was in W illiston Hall, built in 1876. The annex was added in 1889, and the accommodations for work in zoology seemed ample until 1905, when the laboratory work in physiology was included in the department. Since that time there has seemed a necessity for enlarged quarters for the department, and a new biological laboratory is looked for in the near future.

Miss Mary M. Smith was the teacher of botany the first year. Many names are included in the list of those teaching the subject between 1837 and 1851, when Miss Lydia W. Shattuck became the head of the department and directed its interests until her death in 1889. Since that time the department has been in charge of Miss Hooker. Miss Lyon’s herbarium, still preserved intact, was the nucleus of the present collections. To this in 1861 Miss Shattuck added her own herbarium and continued during her life to secure in every way possible the plants now constituting the present collections. The botanical gardens were begun in 1878 by Miss Shattuck, the first plants being pur in with her own trowel. She was assisted by Mr. Levi Allen, still in college employ, in making the first flower beds. ’The first gardener, appointed in 1882, was Mr. Charles Bates. A small plant house destroyed by the fire of 1896 was the gift of Miss Emma E. Dickinson, graduate of 1867. The present range of houses was the result of the generosity of several individuals, the largest and completing gift being from Mr. and Mrs. James Taleott, of New York City, for whom the arboretum is named. Laboratory work with the compound microscope began in 1883, and Miss Martha Goldthwait,who worked with mosses, was the first pupil in what was then called “advanced work.”

Department of Urology Geology has been taught here from the first, hut to Miss Edwards and Miss Cowles belongs the credit for developing the department and making the collections what they are now. Miss Cowles taught for over thirty-five years, occasional lectures being given by Professor Charles Hitchcock, of Dartmouth College, and the field work being conducted later by Mrs. Martha K. Genthe. When Williston Hall was opened in 1876 there were ready to go into it, aside from the minerals, the fossil casts and a large collection of reptile tracks from this vicinity, one ot the very best collections in existence, though not the largest.
