DEATH OF SENATOR LODGE.

The Secretary announced the death, on November 9, 1924, of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who was first appointed a Regent on January 6, 1890, as a Member of the House of Representatives, serving until January 25, 1893, when his membership on the Board automatically ceased owing to his election as Senator. He was next appointed a Regent as a Member of the Senate, on December 7, 1905, and served continuously until his death, thus aggregating a total of twenty-two years as a member of this Board.

Mr. Choate then submitted the following resolutions, which were adopted:-

WHEREAS; The Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution having learned with profound sorrow of the death, on November 9, 1924, of Henry Cabot Lodge, United States Senator from Massachusetts, and a Regent of the Institution for twenty-two years; Be it

RESOLVED; That the Board decide to record here their sense of the irreparable loss sustained by the Institution in the passing away of their distinguished colleague, whose keen, constructive interest in the affairs of the Institution led him to place his broad knowledge and large experience at its service at all times. Senator Lodge's fame as a scholar, citizen, and statesman, is too well known to require mention here. He was an outstanding figure in the Nation, and his death is deeply deplored.

RESOLVED; That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the Board, and that a copy thereof be transmitted to our late associate's family.

APPOINTMENT OF REGENTS.

The Secretary announced that under date of December 2, the President pro tempore of the Senate had appointed Senator Reed Smoot as a Regent to succeed Senator Lodge, deceased.

Also that he had received the resignation of Senator McCormick as a Regent, which he had transmitted to the President pro tempore of the Senate who had appointed Senator George Wharton Pepper to the vacancy on December 3.
