No. 5: Denver Frederic W. Miller has gone to Dallas, Texas, as Director of the Museum of Natural History [of R.T. Shields, Park Board, City of Dallas]. Figgins says his salary here was doubled, and he has fine opportunity to develop a museum of his own; says Miller has had training here from bottom to top, in the exhibition function, and that his interest in mammals and birds will lead him to develop the scientific side too -- more close to place MVZ-trained "vertebrates." Got in to Denver at 1:15, and as soon as we got settled at Iler O. Watson's (Mrs. F's brother-in-law), I went out to Colorado Museum of Natural History. Found the Director, Jesse D. Figgins, an excellent time as to exhibit and spirits. We reminisced at length -- Re. Cohee, Wm. Palmer, Richmond, W.E.C. Todd, Preble, et al. He told of his quarrel with T. Gilbert Pearson -- gave his opinion of the latter in no uncertain terms! Cleared of the B.S. (that is, of the present "glorified clerk" administration).
