The publication of a handbook of learned societies was one of the pro- jects recommended to the Carnegie Institution by its Advisory Committee on Bibliography (see Yearbook, no. 1, 1902, p. 182-184). This was approved by the Trustees, and grants were made for the purpose, the expenditure and supervision being entrusted to the Librarian of Congress. After consultation with the authorities of the Carnegie Institution the organization of the work was placed in charge of Mr. J. David Thompson of the Library Staff, who has personally edited this volume and seen it through the press, the material having been compiled under his direction by Mrs. Lucy C. Daniels Thompson, assisted by Miss Mary F. Griffin. The present volume, devoted to America, was completed for publication first, because printed information for this region is less available. Pending decision as to further publication, the remaining material relating to societies and institutions in the Old World will, for the present, be kept on file avail- able for consultation at the Library of Congress. Washington, D. C., May 25, 1908. HERBERT PUTNAM, Librarian of Congress. iv INTRODUCTORY. The scope of this manual may be defined by indicating the geographical region covered, the classes of societies and institutions included or excluded, and the information presented regarding each organization described. The present volume relates to North and South America and the adja- cent islands, including, however, also the American schools at Athens and Rome, and in Palestine, which are associated with the Archaeological Insti- tute of America. Similar material for the rest of the world has been collected but is not yet edited for publication. With the exceptions noted below, it has been our aim to include all active publishing societies, together with universities, colleges, museums and laboratories issuing contributions to knowledge, and institutions devoted to research. In the case of national scientific societies, however, the test of pub- lication has not been applied, and many local historical societies in North America which do not publish have been briefly noted under the various states and provinces. The plan of the investigation, as approved by the Trustees of the Carnegie Institution, provided for the omission of societies and institutions devoted to medicinea and agricultureb; and as the work progressed it was found necessary to exclude also patriotic societies, local bar associations and teachers' organizations, and leagues for civic improvement or charitable purposes. Astronomical and meteorological observatoriese have been in- cluded only when forming departments of universities, colleges, etc. The following outline, accompanied by a circular letter requesting the necessary data, was sent to all organizations known to us within the scope of the Handbook and will serve as a description of the information here published: I.

UNITED STATES 141 Harvard University. Address.-Cambridge, Mass. President: Charles William Eliot. History. Founded by the General Court of Massachusetts Bay in 1636. Two years later it received a bequest from John Harvard, a non-con- formist clergyman and in his honor it was named Harvard College. The title of University dates from the year 1780, when the Massa- chusetts Constitution of that year referred to "the University at Cam- bridge." The property and government of the University is vested in a co-optative board of seven persons, officially styled the President and Fellows of Harvard College (but more commonly known as The Corporation), established by the charter granted in 1650. Its acts are alterable only by the Board of Overseers. The latter body was estab- lished in 1642, but its constitution has undergone several changes. It consisted of representatives of the State and ministers of the Con- gregational church up to 1843 when it was freed from the control of a particular denomination; the requirement that a portion of the mem- bership should be chosen from the clergy remained, however, until 1851. It was entirely separated from the State government in 1865 and since then its members have been elected by graduates of the uni- versity of five years' standing.

A sum of $1,000 to be awarded to "any resident of North America who shall determine by experiment whether all rays of light, and other physical rays, are or are not transmitted with the same velocity." (North America has been defined as including the West Indies, and extending to the southern boundary of Mexico.) 330 HANDBOOK OF LEARNED SOCIETIES The problem has been more definitely stated by the Board of Man- agers thus: "Whether or not all rays in the spectrum known at the time the offer was made, namely March 23, 1859, and comprised be- tween the lowest frequency known thermal rays in the infra-red and the highest frequency known rays in the ultra-violet, which in the opinion of the committee lie between the approximate frequencies of 2x10¹4 double vibrations per second in the infra-red and 8x10¹4 in the ultra-violet, travel through free space with the same velocity." The original sum of $1,000 has increased to about $3,000. One award of $1,000 made in 1907 for a partial demonstration of this problem, viz: for the ultra-violet rays.

The statutory members of the Establishment are the President, the Vice- President, the Chief Justice, and the heads of Executive Departments. The business of the Institution is conducted by a Board of Regents, consisting of the Vice-President and the Chief Justice of the United States as ex officio members, three members of the Senate, three mem- bers of the House of Representatives, and six citizens, "two of whom shall be resident in the city of Washington; and the other four shall be inhabitants of some State, but no two of them of the same State."

"A system of international exchanges was begun by the Institution in 1850 for the free interchange of scientific publications between institutions and investigators in the United States and those in foreign lands. Since 1867 this has been the official channel for the transmission of United States documents to foreign governments in exchange for their official publications.

Distribution.-The volumes of Contributions and Miscellaneous collections are distributed only to designated public libraries and to learned institutions and societies. A small edition of the separate papers in these two series is printed for sale or exchange. The Annual reports are regularly distributed by the Institution to libraries throughout the world, and only a limited number of the volumes remains to supply demands from other sources; they are also sold at cost by the Superintendent of documents, Government printing office, Wash- ington, D. C., and each member of Congress has a certain number of copies at his disposal. The papers printed in the Annual reports are published separately for free distribution. Applicants for publications should state the ground of their requests, as the Institution is able to supply papers only as an aid to the research or study in which the applicant is especially interested. No sets of publications are for sale or distribution, as most of the volumes are out of print. For prices, see Classified list of Smithsonian publications available for dis- tribution, Apr. 1907. Washington, 1907. 8°. Research funds, prizes, &c.—The permanent fund of the Institution amounts to about $1,000,000, mainly deposited in the Treasury of the United States and bearing interest at 6% per annum. It is derived from the Smithson endowment, with savings and interest, and subse- quent gifts and bequests, notably those of Thomas G. Hodgkins of Setauket, Long Island, N. Y., amounting to over $250,000. Grants are made by the Institution for various explorations and investiga- tions; in particular, the income from $100,000 of the HODGKINS FUND UNITED STATES 403 is used to promote the study of "the nature and properties of at- mospheric air in connection with the welfare of man" by grants in aid of researches and by the award of the HODGKINS GOLD MEDAL for im- portant contributions to knowledge in this field. Appointments are made by the Institution to a table which it supports at Naples Zoologi- cal Station. U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM. Address.-Washington, D. C. Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian In- stitution, in charge of Museum: Richard Rathbun. History.—By its act of incorporation (1846) the Smithsonian Institution was made the custodian and the only lawful place of deposit, of all objects of art and of foreign and curious research and all objects of natural history, plants and geological and mineralogical specimens be- longing to the United States. In 1858 the collections of the Wilkes Ex- ploring Expedition and various government surveys were transferred from the Patent Office to the Institution and appropriation was made by Congress for their care and maintenance. The name National Mu- seum first appears in an act of Congress in 1875, although it had then been in popular use for several years. In 1876, at the close of the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, large collections from the exhibits of foreign governments were secured for the museum and Congress made provision for the erection of a separate building which was opened to the public in 1881. A new building, provided for in 1903, is now in course of erection. Ref: The Smithsonian institution, 1846-1896. The history of its first half century. Washington, 1897. Art. VIII.—Report of the U.

Branches at Quebec (established 1864, reorganized 1897), Montreal (organized 1873), Toronto (founded 1896 as Toronto Entomological Society, becoming Toronto branch of the society in 1897).

In 1890, sections in botany, ornithology, microscopy and geology were established at London, Ont. The geological section sus- pended operations in 1903, while the ornithological section became the McIlwraith Ornithological Club in the same year; the other 2 sections have been discontinued since the removal to Guelph.

The present director succeeded Dr. Berg upon the death of the latter in 1902. The museum is at present divided into 5 sections: (i) Sección zoológica, (ii) Sección paleon- tológica, (iii) Sección etnológica, (iv) Sección botánica, (v) Sección geológico-mineralógica. It maintains two exploring parties in the field, one for zoology and botany, the other for geology, mineralogy and paleontology, by means of funds supplied by the national gov- ernment. It has also a large library. The present name was assumed when, after the federalization of Buenos Aires in 1880, the museum passed from the control of the provincial government into the hands of the nation. Ref.: Anales ... t.

At the meeting of the Section of Paleozoology of the 7th International Zoological Congress, held at Boston, Aug. 1907, a resolution was adopted in favor of the organization of a Society of American Paleontologists, to include vertebrate and invertebrate paleozoology and paleobotany. A committee was appointed, with H. F.

Out of the income of this fund a prize in money, to be called the Comstock prize, is to be awarded once for every 5 years to the bona fide resident of North America who, not less than one year nor more than six years before the award, shall have made, in the judgment of the trustee, the most important discovery or investigation in electricity or magnetism or radiant energy. The amount of the prize is to be two-thirds of the balance of income for 5 years, after provision for maintaining the market value of the fund has been made, if necessary. If not awarded, this sum is to be added to the principal or it may be used, not oftener than once in 15 years, in whole or part, to aid investigations in the same field to be made by a bona fide resi- dent or residents of North America.
