seem in large part to have failed, but those who realize that
ideals are the motive forces of the world, that life consists not
in abundance of possessions but in abundance of service, that
science is not paraphernalia but knowledge-these wil not fail
to recognize the great value of the work Professor Whitman has
done for the Marine Bi.ological Laboratory and for the whole
science of biology.

vote of the trustees the position of director
was tendered to Professor Frank R. Lilie. His acceptance of
this post has given the trustees the greatest satisfaction. They
feel not only that the material future of the laboratory is assured
under his management, but also that the high scientific ideals
of the laboratory wil, be maintained.
The trustees wish to take this opportunity to express to Professor
Lilie, as they have to Professor Whitman, their recognition
of his splendid service in behalf of the laboratory. They
are encouraged to believe that the affairs .of the laboratory could
not have been placed in abler hands. They wish to make public
recognition of their appreciation of Professor Lille's past
services to the laboratory and to express to him their confidence
in entrusting the future of the laboratory to his care.
The trustees are also able to announce that Professor Gilman
A. Drew, who has successfully had in charge for years first
the course in zoölogy and later that in embryology, has accepted
the position of assistant director. His acceptance of this posi-
tion is a guarantee that the part of the executive management
of the laboratory which falls to his share wil be ably conducted.
