Dr. Jaggar left Cambridge last night and will sail today on the United States cruiser "Dixie" for St. Pierre, where the volcanic eruptions have recently occurred. The "Dixie" will carry supplies for the relief of those now suffering on the island.
Dr. Jaggar goes partly for the interest of the University and partly for the United States Geological Survey. He will obtain as accurate an account of the eruptions as possible by means of photographs and will study the causes and results, so that he may make out a report later. The "Dixie" will also go to the St. Vincent Islands, where the more recent eruptions have occurred.
The paper which Dr. Jaggar intended to read before the Mining Club on Wednesday will be read by Dr. Palache. Dr. Jaggar's work in Geology 9 will be in charge of Dr. Palache. The class will not meet today but will meet at the usual hour on Thursday.
