1881*

It has been a pleasure to receive from Herrick a program of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the department of biology at Western Reserve University December 3, 1938. On the first page of the program is Herrick's picture, and his response is the last feature of the program.

Herrick went to Western Reserve as an instructor in biology in 1888, becoming a full professor in 1891. His service with that institution continued for forty-one years, when he retired in 1929 as professor emeritus. His life has been very active, both as investigator and writer, in the field of natural science: Among the place cards at the banquet was a bibliographical list of his publications, which covers three closely printed pages, naming articles and books appearing from his pen between 1883 and 1937. We note here only three of his more recent books: The American Eagle, 1934; Wild Birds at Home, 1935; Audubon the Naturalist, second edition, 1937./
