Report of tht prteibent To THE MEMBERS OF THE CORPORATION: In accordance with the by-laws I beg to submit to your Corpo- ration a report of the affairs of the Institute, appending, as usual, reports from other administrative officers with reference to the work of their special departments. SThe year with which this report deals has been a memorable one in the Institute's history, but its main events are so well 'known to your Corporation that it would be unnecessary to refer to them at all except for the expediency of continuing the official record. The event that overshadows all others has been the realization of the hopes and dreams of many years through the occupancy of a great group of buildings on a site that is ample for present purposes and that gives room for large expansion in the future. The first practical step towards this desired end was the securing of aid from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to carry the Institute through the straits of its physical expansion, and without the assistance that was granted by the Common- wealth we should have been in real danger of running upon the rock of educational impoverishment. As soon as this aid was assured, Mr. Coleman du Pont made his timely and generous gift of half a million dollars which made it practicable for us to begin negotiations. for the purchase of a site. This generosity stimulated others and it was not long before sufficient funds had been obtained to secure our present magnificent property of nearly fifty acres on the banks of the Charles. Now that we are here it is more generally recognized than ever before how admir- ably suited that site is for all our purposes. After the purchase of the land the next great step Was taken when Mr. "Smith" made his munificent contribution to our building fund. We were extremely fortunate in the time at which we conducted our various operations for, owing to the depression then prevailing, we obtained our land at a very reasonable cost and secured the 9 IO MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY main materials for the construction of our buildings when the market was at the very lowest. In spite of this, however, owing to the necessarily great scale of our buildings the total cost has reached very considerable dimensions, the whole undertaking, including land, filling, drainage, buildings, and equipment, having cost over seven millions of dollars. Especially during the last six months labor costs have risen extraordinarily and various other expenses have been raised correspondingly so that the work that was done in that period has cost more than was estimated. Fortunately, however, this increase was compensated by the fact that during the earlier and much longer period of our operations the cost of construction was kept below the estimate and the final result has been that the total expenditure on buildings and equipment has been very close indeed to the original estimate. It is especially gratifying, too, that we have been enabled to carry through an undertaking of such dimensions without encroaching at all on the slender endowment of the Institute. Indeed, during the period of construction and before the dedication of our new buildings in June last, we had made substantial additions to that endowment. The main event of the year since my last annual report was, of course, the dedication to which I have just referred. It awak- ened great interest in the community, attracted the alumni in very large numbers from all parts of the country and of the world and stirred in them an enthusiasm unparalleled in the history of the Institute. The program of the Reunion of the alumni covered three days and comprised a series of notable achievements from the stirring oration of our Secretary, Mr. Munroe,

  • Oct., and Horticulture, He Devoted Much of His Life to His Chosen Field
    180 American Antiquarian Society [Oct., and horticulture, he devoted much of his life to his chosen field. He was an amateur botanist of more than ordinary ability, his particular interest being the classi- fication of New England fiora. He was a leading mem- ber of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and for three years its president, an early member of the New England Botanical Club, and a benefactor of the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University. He was unmarried, living at his attractive home in Milton, an eighteen- acre estate noted for its trees, shrubs and fiowers. He was long active in charities, was a trustee of the Milton Public Library, and trustee and president of the Massachusetts General Hospital. He was interested in history, was president of the Milton Historical Society, and in 1932 wrote an excellent volume, "The First Sixty Years of the Milton Public Library." Mr. Kidder was elected to the American Antiquarian Society in 1916, and until the last part of his life was a constant attendant at the meetings. He was a frequent donor of historical material to the Library. By the terms of his will, he bequeathed $5000 to the Society, which has been set up as the Nathaniel T. Kidder Fund. C. S. B. ARTHUR PRENTICE RUGG Arthur Prentice Rugg, Chief Justice of the Massa- chusetts Supreme Court and President of the Ameri- can Antiquarian Society, died of pneumonia, after a short illness, at his summer home in Sterling, June 12, 1938. Of early New England stock, a descendant of John Rugg of Watertown, he was born on a farm in Sterling, Mass., August 20, 1862, the son of Prentice Mason and Cynthia (Ross) Rugg.

  • Checklist of the Portraits in the Library of the American Antiquarian Society
    CI? Checklist of the Portraits in the Library of the American Antiquarian Society BY FREDERICK L. WEIS R. NATHANIEL PAINE'S "Portraits in the Public M Buildings of Worcester," which included the paintings owned by the American Antiquarian Society in 1876, and Mr. Waldo Lincoln's "Checklist of the Portraits in the American Antiquarian Society," published in the Proceed- ings for the year 1923, have long been out of print. Since the Lincoln pamphlet was published, a score of years have passed and the portraits and miniatures are now more than double the number then listed. The persons represented are of considerable importance, and several of the portraits of antiquarian value or artistic merit have been exhibited at Boston and Cambridge, Providence and New York, as well as at the Worcester Art Museum, where they have aroused much interest and comment. Fifty of the paintings are of former members, including eleven past presidents and twelve former vice-presidents of this Society. Mr. Lincoln's checklist enumerated fifty-seven portraits, the miniatures of Mr. Baldwin, Governors Clinton and Winthrop, the wax miniature of Governor Sullivan and the small pastel of Isaiah Thomas, making a total of sixty-two in all. Since that time the Society has received thirty-eight additional oil portraits and thirty-three miniatures. The present list consists of ninety-two oil portraits, seven chalk drawings, one mosaic, thirty-four miniatures, 56 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, three engraved gold on glass profiles, two cameo portraits, three small pastels, one crayon and wash drawing on vellum and the wax miniature of Governor Sullivan.
