PROPOSED BUILDING FOR FIELD MUSEUM ON THE LAKE FRONT. President-Harlow N. Higinbotham. The Field museum of natural history, established in 1894 at the close of the World's Columbian exposition of 1893, occupies the temporary building erected for fine arts in Jackson park, the exposition site. The founding of a scientific institution of this character in Chicago was made possible by the gift of $1,000,000 by Marshall Field and who on his death (Jan. 16, 1906) bequeathed the institution a further $8,000,000, $4,000,000 for the erection of a permanent building and $4,000,000 for endowment. In addition $500,000 has been do nated by other individuals and there is an annual income from other sources than endowment of about $25,000. The citizens of Chicago have confirmed legislative provision for the levy of a tax for the maintenance of the museum when a new building shall have been erected, which it is estimated will eventually produce approximately $100,000 per annum. The nucleus of the exhibition material was gathered by gift and purchase at the World's Columbian exposition. Most of this material, however, has since been rearranged, readapted or discarded. Several departments created at the organization have been abandoned, until, after the lapse of eleven years and the expenditure of over $2,000,000, the museum is now divided into four departmentsnamely, anthropology, botany, geology and zoolоду. Many expeditions for the purpose of obtain Amusements- Circus in blg.. day.... ...100.00 ing study, exhibition and exchange material and data have been dispatched to all parts of North America and to different countries. The results of these expeditions, investigations and researches have been published by the museum from time to time, which publications have been distributed to kindred societies and institutions both at home and abroad. Two courses of free lectures are given annually. The museum has a working library of about 50,000 titles, an extensive exchange system, fully equipped departmental laboratories, a herbarium of 260,000 sheets, study collections in mammals and birds reaching many thousand specimens, a large two-story taxidermy section, a well-equipped printing shop, illustration studios and assaying and lapidary rooms. In North American ethnology, in the world's mineralogy, in economic botany the museum is particularly prominent, while its series of mounted mammals furnish examples of advanced museum methods. The present main building covers nine acres and is open to the public on all days except Christmas and Thanksgiving. An admission fee of 25 cents is charged except on Saturdays and Sundays, when admission is free to all. Students, scholars and teachers are admitted free at all times. The museum is incorporated under state law and the administrative control rests in a board of trustees with president, secretary, etc. The ex ecutive of the museum is the director, under whom there are four head curators with divisional assistant curators, preparators, etc. The entire museum records, the accessions system, the historical files, publications and supplies are in charge of a recorder. .300.00 Drivers of vehicles. 1.00 Pack 15.00 2.00 Wagon (each wagon) 50.00 75.00 Fishmongers 15.00 Oil 10.00 .100.00 Garage Theaters, 1st class..
