‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
An expedition has been planned for botanical and zoological research in South America this summer. Though managed primarily by private persons, Harvard and the University of Chicago are interested in the enterprise.
A. H. Clark '03 will have general charges of the expedition and will also conduct the zoological research, assisted by A. H. Crosbie '03. Others in the party are J. R. Johnston '03, who will be in charge of the botanical research, and O. O. Miller, Jr., his assistant. The party will sail on the S. S. Caracas from New York on June 15, arriving at La Guayra, Venezuela, June 23. From there they will go to Margarita Island, where the bulk of the collecting will be done.
As the island has never been scientifically explored, and no botanist has ever been there, there is every reason for expecting good results. A large proportion of the materials gathered will go to enrich the collection in the University museum.
