Gift of $500,000 soon enabled Professor Yerkes to house a second colony of chimpanzees on a 200-acre farm at Orange Park Fla. There Mona, 21, gave birth to the only known pair of anthropoid twins a male and a female (TIME, June ii 1934). There Gua, 7½-months, proved herself smarter in many respects than Donald Kellogg, 10 months (TIME. June 19 1933 et ante). There chimpanzees have proved that, although they cannot talk they can think and make rational decisions, that their intelligence and behavior are akin to human intelligence and behavior...
Last week Professor Yerkes announced in Science that the State of Florida has granted a charter of incorporation to the "Anthropoid Experiment Station of Yale University" at Orange Park. Last week was also a good time, decided Professor Yerkes. a reclusive observer, to brag about his 16 "dated chimpanzees." He calls them that because their "ancestry, date of birth and, with few exceptions, developmental history, experience, use in experiments, are matters of reliable record...
...Ovila Dionne was the thirty-first human mother known to have borne quintuplets (see p. 39). At Yale's 200-acre Anthropoid Experiment Station in Orange Park, Fla. last week was another mother who, with a record unique in biological annals, might well have been jealous of the hullabaloo over the Canadian woman and her offspring. Her name is Mona and she is a 21-year-old chimpanzee. At Orange Park on June 26, 1933, she gave birth to fraternal twins, male & female. The father was an 11-year-old brought from Africa by a sailor. Mona had spent...

Yale's Dr. Hellmut de Terra thinks they are even younger than is commonly supposed, that climatic changes caused by their vigorous upthrusts may have influenced the evolution of man and anthropoid apes. Geologist de Terra organized the Yale North India Expedition, took along a biologist, a paleontologist and Mrs. de Terra as photographer. After 15 months scouring a wide terrain, he issued a report this spring. Burrowing into the Badlands of Potwar, the party found five jawbones of apes, representing three...
Most of his life has been devoted to the study of behavior in anthropoid apes. His most famous work, "The Mentality of Apes," is recognized as the authoritative document on the subject. He has published many other books in the same field, among them important investigations of the intelligence of chimpanzees, which have won world-wide renown. Professor Kohler has been in the United States several times on lecture tours and is the brother of Wilhelm R. W. Kohler, recently appointed full professor in Fine Arts. The two previous incumbents of the William James chair were Professor John Dewey...
