The results of the Harvard African expedition, which have just appeared in a two volume report, are of distinct scientific value. In the expose of existing conditions apparently prevalent in Liberia, these Harvard scientists have accomplished something of the highest possible value, not to mention the obvious benefits of their medical and biological discoveries, which constitute the greater part of the report.
Unfortunately, the expedition was hampered in its work by the difficulties of travel. Under the guidance of natives, and without the aid of sufficient geographic tools such as maps, charts, and literature of exploration, the group met unnecessary problems which hampered their progress and delayed the essential work of the party. With the completion of Harvard's new Geographical Institute, it is hoped that such difficulties for scientific research may be avoided; not only will the needed implements be at hand, but also the information for their intelligent use.
