1954, the Peabody Museum and Harvard University suffered an irremediable loss. Although retired from teaching in the Department of Anthropology since 1949, Dr. Tozzer remained in close contact with all the activities of the Museum until a short time before his death. It may be said that Tozzer devoted his entire life as an anthropologist to the service of Harvard, but the Peabody Museum was the particular object of his affection. It is, of course, as teacher, that his enormous influence upon American archaeology and ethnology will be measured; and his own scholarly contributions will be longest remembered; nevertheless it seems appropriate to speak first about the Museum. He was inclined to be a little apologetic about his feelings in this regard, as though they were not quite rational. Certainly there is nothing about this antiquated pile of New England mill construction to inspire feelings of a rational nature
