Letter from Ellas Bishop to AES suggesting that some of the Peabody* money be spent for a kind of club room In the arch, bldg, where students could get sandwiches and ginger pop. This would "...go a long way toward solving the problem of 'Chaps1. I regard 'Chaps' as a serious menace to the moral welfare of the school and some of the stoties which I have heard 8%.would lead me to go a long way to provide something else for the boys." (Elias B. Bishop to Alfred E Stearns, Boston, March 15, 1911) Report of the Advisory Committee on Archaeology, 1914. Report on the Peabody Union by a committee of investigation ( no date) Mr. Moorehead disagrees with Mr. Ropes as to the activities of the arch. dept. in the Mississippi Valley.

Dr. Charles Peabody writes from Paris in 1939 that he is destitute and could PA give him some funds, since he never received a salary when he worked there. The Peabody museum in Cambridge receives a similar letter. CMF says he was left lots of money and has frittered it away. "It Is perfectly obvious that we have no moral or legal obligation in the matter, but of course no one here would wish to have a relative of one of our great benefactors starve." (Claude Fuess to Dr. Donald Scott, Peabody Museum Cambridge, Andover, July 1,1939) Peabody's son recommends that nobddy pass a hat for his father, since he left his wife to go to France and has married a French woman whose able-bodied relatives are all living off Dr. Peabody, and that he is not that badly off. Douglas Byers writes an interesting letter on the state of the Archaeology Dept In Sep, 1939, saying the Mooorehead was a figurehead for the aast years of his directorship with Byers doing all the work. He is also upset about the status of Mr. Travis, "...wished on this Department by Mr. Sawyer in a way which I consider most unethical and in a way which at the same time it was impossible to refuse."
