With the announcement on Saturday of his acceptance of a professorship in the Henry Shaw School of Botany in Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, Dr. Carroll William Dodge, tenders his resignations from the University to the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Dodge has been the curator of the Farlow Reference Library and Herbarium of Cryptogamic Botany since 1921, and has seen its collections of lichens, mosses, and fungi, nearly double in size.

The Herbarium now fills the brick building at 20 Divinity Avenue, beyond the new Biological Institute. The Herbarium's expansion has been effected partly be purchase and partly by expeditions to South and Central America, Kamerun, and China, under his leadership. He was an officer in the Harvard expedition to the Gaspe Peninsula, shortly after his transfer from Brown University, where he was assistant professor of Natural History.

Dr. Dodge is well known for his work on the fungus diseases of man, and has delivered the first course in this field while at Harvard. He has held positions of chairman and secretary of the Botanical Society of America, and has also served as national secretary for Gamma Alpha, a scientific honor fraternity. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi fraternities.
