Book excerpt: This report reviews the financial resources of the Massachusetts Professorship of Natural History, including real estate holdings, bank and United States stock investments, and cash available. The report also itemizes the income and expenses of the professorship. The report notes that funds to support the professorship are inadequate and that there is an urgent need for additional sources of income, particularly for the upkeep of the botanic garden. The report acknowledges the Board of Visitors' authority to manage the professorship and records the votes taken by the Board to transfer all remaining funds to the Harvard Corporation, stating that payments should no longer be remitted on behalf of the professorship except $500 per year for a curator of the botanic garden.
