...sympathize with the first part of this statement, but feel that the humor of the second should not pass unnoticed. Limiting consideration to one department the absurdity of the claim is evident to all those with memories of the quarters, equipment, and personnel of Biology I. More detailed and saddening points may be found is the recent article of Dr. Barbour in the Alumni Bulletin on "Biology at Harvard". This article, which contains considerable truth, would not lead one to think that Biology was being systematically built up here, bus rather that what remains is the remnant of a more...
