FACULTY ACTIVITIES

At the annual meeting of the American Historical Association, Professor H. D. Foster was appointed a member of the new standing Committee on History in Schools, and has since been asked to serve as chairman of the sub-committee from New England. Professor Foster was also elected a member of the council of the Association of University Professors upon its organization in January.

Professor John H. Gerould has recently been asked to read a paper before the Section of Genetics and Experimental Evolution at the meeting of scientists to be held in Berkeley, California, during the first week in August, and to conduct two lecture courses in Biology in the summer session of the University of California, June 21 to July 31. He has been obliged to decline the latter invitation, however, because the expedi tion to Porto Rico of which he is to be a member does not return to New York until June 21, too late for the California summer session.
