It has been voted by the Faculty that Professor J. B. Woodworth '94, of the Geological Department, be appointed to take charge of the Shaler Memorial Expedition to South America, and that leave of absence be given him from June 20.
The expedition will proceed from New York to Rio Janeiro and will remain in Brazil until the rainy season comes on in October. The Brazilian government, through the government survey, has offered facilities for prosecution of the work of the expedition. On the completion of the field work Professor Woodworth will proceed via Buenos Ayres to the coast of Chill for the purpose of investigating shore line changes, leaving Valparaiso in time to reach Cambridge at the end of the leave of absence.
