Herein are some of the highlights of the the Town of Farmington Board of past year. Personnel Several changes were made to key positions within the ranks of our municipal employees. Most significantly, Town Administrator Ernie Creveling resigned and in August R. Paul Weston was hired as his replacement. Mr. Weston, an experienced Town Administrator who most recently served the Town of Holderness, NH, for eight years, has a Master's Degree in Public Administration. With regret the Selectmen accepted the resignation of long term Parks and Recreation Director Kerry Mucher, and subsequently promoted Kimberly Brackett as her replacement. During 2005 Highway Agent Clark Hackett resigned after 26 years of service. The duties of the position were upgraded to include roads, bridges, and landfill duties, and Joel Moulton was hired as our new Public Works Director. I want to thank all of our employees, veteran and new, for their fine efforts daily to serve the citizens and visitors to the Town of Farmington. During the year we continued to work on the update of the Town's Master Plan, and hope to see an end product sometime in 2006, as we look to plan appropriately and thoroughly for the Town's fiiture needs. Along these same lines, the Board of Selectmen negotiated a new contract with Wright-Pierce Engineering to provide engineering consultant advice for the long term needs of the years old.

Discharge to the land instead of the Cocheco River will be a priority as to further enhance our local and downriver environment. we seek in the year the Board of Selectmen voted to accept a generous offer from Ms. Beulah Thayer to renovate the Town Hall/Opera House. These private dollars will greatly enhance and reinvigorate this grand old building - all new interior lighting, stage lighting, sound system, painting, seating on the main floor, reuse of the balcony seating, and many more smaller improvements are underway as this is written. If the voter's approve life safety code improvements at the 2006 Town Meeting by reallocating previously raised funds, the Town Hall will become fully compliant with code requirements and we will enjoy the benefits of this wonderful project for decades to come. On behalf of the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of Farmington, I wish to Late thank again Ms. Thayer for her vision, her perseverance, and her generosity. As we approached the Municipal Budget this year, the Board of Selectmen carefully reviewed available capital reserve accounts and fund balances in an effort to hold steady the tax rate. We have proposed many needed purchases and projects which will need voter support if we are to move forward next year. �I want to again thank the Town Employees for their devotion to service, and want the thank my fellow Selectmen for their support and suggestion.

The analysis conducted in the Coastal plan in determined that parts of this area contain high value forest ecosystems, as well as habitat that may support rare plants and/or exemplary natural communities. The Wflp considers the entire southwest border of the Town as having significant clusters of high ranked habitat, fl composite map of the Town was developed to reflect our conservation goals. The conservation commission is funded by the current use tax. The current use tax is the tax applied to land when it is taken out of current use. The idea is when land is developed; monies can be put toward other land to be conserved. When there is a decrease in building and sales of lands, as in 2008, there are fewer funds to spend. Instead of purchasing large parcels of land as in the past, the conservation commission has focused on conservation easements and land donations, fl conservation easement is a legal agreement between a landowner and a conservation or governmental organization that permanently limits the uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. In 2008, we have worked with local organizations like Moose Mountains "Regional Sreenways and Strafford "Rivers Conservancy, as well as land owners to help put hundreds of acres in conservation by assisting with the costs of necessary surveys and other legal fees associated with easements and land donations. The Conservation Commission continues to seek new members. We currently meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 6 pm.

Wiz started thjz triizd to dsztgrminsz. what was njZjzdszd so th(Z by looking at Town eould bjz economically viabliz once again. We also consulted the Master plan for any hints on how to unlock this perplexing puzzle. The economic strategies that we came up with are as follows: yizar 1. finishing up the Marketing plan for the liarah Greenfield Business Park. We started and compiling the plan last year. This year it was solidified and presented to the ©oard of Selectmen for their approval to proceed, permission was granted and we now have copies available for those who would like information on the collecting information remaining parcels 2. 5. 4". 5. in the business park. Survey done with meets and bounds of the Sarah Greenfield Business park. Through the collection process for the Marketing plan, the Q'i>C discovered that there was no survey on record that showed where meets and bounds had been recorded nor had all the lots been properly pinned, figain the Board of Selectmen was approached and permission was granted to have this done. Materials on and around the §arah Greenfield property: While strategizing, the Committee heard there was a wealth of gravel related material on and around the business park, part of a good economic strategy is cost avoidance, finything you already have that has value is like money in the bank. With the Selectmen's approval, the efC asked highway director, Joel Moulton, to dig several test pits to log what type and quantity of gravel material was located in this area. We are waiting for the site survey to be finished so we can calculate the value of the material Farmington eould possess by not having to purchase gravel for the projects that the Town needs to complete. fleeess l^oad at §arah Greenfield: By collecting the data for the Marketing plan, having the boundary survey and discovering the value of the gravel material located on and around the park, another step was taken to secure the Town's interests. We asked to have an access road placed between two of the remaining parcels in the business park. This allows the Town access to the gravel material out back, increased the value for the two parcels it divides and could potentially serve as a through road to Route n after the gravel has been mined, t^ win/win situation all around! What to do about business? The Q't)C focused on the broad strokes this year, first was the ©owntown Survey. This survey was created to seek input into issues affecting downtown and what events, improvement programs and/or grants are needed to maintain this area as a vital part of farmington. We employed the help of the planner and the ©owntown Committee to complete this task. Thank you to those businesses that participated in the survey The input was analyzed and compiled for future discussion of the economic "Development Committee, t^ m<^mo was sent to the Board of Selectmen with the results and several proposed courses of action that the Qf>C agreed were vital, follow up will come this year. . 69 �Economic 'Dizvizlopwiznt <l)!zeondly, Committm, eontinuizd how do wg hjzlp pgopliz who would like to start storefronts have always spelled a disaster for our a business hgriz? empty We recognized the need to help people be better prepared to establish and sustain their businesses.

They have templates that we can utilize that aid businesses little town. in getting established, expanding, creating business plans, lists of workshops and funding information. This year we hope to meet With other representatives as well so we can compile all our information to help businesses have a better rate of success. Master plan pointed out was the Route tl corridor. The Q'^C saw this as an area that needed attention. We discussed being prepared for businesses coming our way, access management and zoning availability, and decided to approach the Selectmen with a request to have the planning Soard take a look at the possibility of re-zoning Route II. The thought was to have a more 'business friendly' "Route II while conscientious of the fact that many people use it for travel, t^long with the planner's help, the presentation to the Selectmen was made and proved successful; the presentation was to go forward to the planning ©oard.

Much discussion ensued concerning the town standards and questions on other private roads were answered. It was felt that it should be a priority to invite all road associations in and have a discussion about the road acceptance plan.

Respectfully submitted, Elmer W. Barron III Chairman 59 �REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN 1992 saw the completion of wells 3 and 4 after years of negotiation. It also marked the beginning of another long term project, the closure of the landfill. The Board of Selectmen began studies related to the eventual closure of the landfill. While there is adequate space for more rubbish, the EPA and other regulatory agencies are adopting stricter rules that will force the landfill to close shortly. The high cost of closure is reflected in two alternatives which the Board of Selectmen Town Meeting. Either the cost can be borne by taxes or by user Accounting Standards require owners of landfills to budget the closure as an operating expense. The Town participated in a Hazardous Household Waste Collection day. High prices for scrap metal enabled the Town to have the metal removed at no cost in 1992. The Board has entered an agreement to make a profit upon scrap metal and appliances in 1993. are bringing to fees. New Governmental The Town was saddened by the death of long time welfare director, Trudy Pence. Bruce Pence was promoted to welfare director and has continued Trudy's example of service to the elderly and needy. Mrs. Edna Parshley, after 16 years as the deputy Town Clerk/Tax Collector, announced her retirement for January 1993. Her vast knowledge of the Town will be sorely missed in the Town Hall. Linda Ghareeb, the Town's Recreation director, left. Judy Brownell, a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, filled in very capably until Kerry Griffin was hired. Kerry has brought new ideas and has put new direction into our community recreation program. Gwen Bernard, a police secretary, moved to Florida and was replaced by Roxanne Pageau. Following the retirement of Sergeant Walter Brown, Scott Roberge was promoted to Sergeant. Mr. Kevin Willey was hired as a new patrolman. The Town's application for a $350,000 CDBG grant scored highest in the State. The grant was written by John Scruton and the director of the Housing Partnership, Anne Meadows. It is being administrated by Pam Merril, CDBG director, and Don Gilbert, CDBG rehabilitation specialist. While there was such enthusiasm for applying for a grant to construct a Day Care Center in 1993, the Board wanted to be sure that first it could be self-supporting without requiring municipal funds. committee is hard at work on this project for a future CDBG application. A Selectmen cooperated with New England Telephone to construct parts of South Main Street. Sealing and shimming was done on various paved roads in Town as the Board continues to work their overall plan for improvement of the Town's Streets and Roads. The Board of new sidewalks along The State's Waste Stream Allocation Report enabled the Board to lift the sewer moratorium. Since it indicated a limited capacity for expansion, the Board voted not to extend the lines beyond the current footprint for new residential development. The Board of Selectmen restructured waste water rates to comply with State and Federal requirements that rates be 60 based upon volume used. This �will help to make more the rates where every dwelling unit paid the equitable. This replaced the old unit same method fee regardless of volume of waste water generated. In closing we wish to thank our outstanding staff of dedicated employees who have carried out our policies and services. We thank all the businesses and their owners who have donated time, goods, money, and equipment for a multitude of causes. We also express our deepest gratitude to the many individuals who have given freely of their time to serve on committees and boards for the Town. These efforts have been a tremendous boost to the community, and we thank them for their time, help and dedication. We also thank the many citizens who have contributed their time and efforts in other ways. It is as a community working together that we are able to take pride that we live here.

Silvia, Jr., Selectman Willis Berry, Selectman FARMINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT 1992 ANNUAL REPORT The Police Department has continued to maintain services to the public, in updating equipment and keep up its commitment to hiring and keeping quality personnel. Due to the retirement of Walter Brown and injury to other officers, the department was short handed to the equivalent of two officers for most of the year. In addition, with Off. Roberge conducting the D.A.R.E. program there was a strain with the on street coverage requiring other officers to progress be reassigned to patrol as in was required for a short time. All of this was reflected arrest activity being slightly lower over previous years. As most everybody knows the Governor signed a bill which eliminated satellite courts and during 1992, the Farmington session of the Rochester District Court was eliminated, requiring heard and per week all cases and officers and witnesses involved to be downtown Rochester for court. The court assigned one day Farmington cases only, however with new law changes and lawyers to travel to for increasingly taking cases to trial our prosecutor spends an average of two days in court arguing defense attorneys motions for case dismissal or for evidence suppression hearings. This also places him a position of having to take more in time on case preparation. An interesting side note about the departments arrest activity was that 5^of all arrests were of people who do not reside in Farmington. This figure includes traffic offenses such as speeding or inspection violations alcohol offenses. According to the Crime In NH and Report, Farmington has less crimes per thousand population than a neighboring community. some personnel changes. Sgt. conducting a hiring process, Kevin Willey, During 1992 the deaprtment went through Walter Brown retired in June and after 61 �a certified New Hampshire hired. His certification police officer from Groveton, New Hampshire was allowed the town and department to save on training costs and allowed the department to get him on the street sooner. Part-time secretary Gwen Berard resigned because of a move to Florida and Roxanne Pageau of Green St., Farmington was brought on board to fill that position. A promotional process was conducted during the year and Officer Scott Roberge was selected for promotion to the rank of Sergeant. Other changes during the year resulted in Officer Daniel Yoder being assigned to investigations, Officer David Hall was given additional training in prosecuting cases and Officer Mark McGowan was assigned to field training officer status. All officers received New Hampshire specialized training during the year as required by the Police Standards and Training Council. During the year the department received a grant for DWI enforcement based upon a grant application prepared by Officer David Hall. In addition, Officer Randy Sobel prepared a grant application for a new radar unit which will be submitted to the State for their consideration. Officers also gave presentations to the Farmington National Bank, Farmington/Milton Headstart Program, driver education and to the FED-UP organization. During 1993 and beyond, the town can be assured of the department's coma reasonable cost. In the coming address the space requirements for the department and we will explore options with the Board of Selectmen, the Budget Committee, other town departments and the public. We will consider volunteer boards and their needs and, of course, the cost to complete any authorized changes. mitment year, to delivering quality police services at we do need to Another Chief once told me that 'A police department can be a mirror image of community it serves and it will be as good as the community wants it to be or as bad as the community allows it to be." With that in mind encourage citizens to take an active interest in the department and the services it renders. It is nice to hear what is right about the department and its officers but we want to know what you do not like. We want your thoughts about what we can do for you. We need you to tell us your concerns so we may change policy, implement pro' the I cedural changes or simply satisfy a need. at a FED-UP meeting One citizen came up with a regarding a method by which citizens can tell good idea the police about suspicious or criminal activity. We are working on drafts right now and we ask the Puddle Dock Press and perhaps other papers to print it in their issues during the year. We work for you, and as such, are accountable to you. Please will keep us on our toes.

We are pleased to welcome two new Board Members: Earl Simonsen and Skip Sansoucy: and will miss the dedicated service of Emmanuel (Manny) Krasner who served this Board for twelve years. Mr. Krasner retired from the Board in March of 1991 in order to be able to pursue other goals. A total of made 30 applications were to the Planning Board during 1991 : 1 for 4 for Site Review (9 of which requested a waiver of site review and were granted the waivers, 4 were approved and 1 was Earth Removal, denied to 1 3 for Subdivisions and for lack of information 1 and improper plan.) An additional 2 were presented the Board for revision of their original plan. Several Subcommittees were organized which dealt with the following areas: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS: This subcommittee worked diligently to compile of the necessary information.

The settlement with Davidson provided $525,000 which the Town spent for two new wells and a fire engine. There is admiration for the new fire engine which arrived in December. It is a 1 500 gallon pumper-tanker that was custom built to specifications drawn up by the Fire Department. The construction of a pump station for the new wells is nearly complete and the well should be in use in March of 1992. Two State Grants assisted in energy im- provements and the Town's recycling efforts. The baler was installed at the landand a new storage building constructed with 50 percent State funds. The State also paid 50 percent of the cost of Energy improvements to the Fire Station and Waste Water Treatment plant for improvements ranging from new overhead doors to an electronic variable speed drive. The Town participated with the State in a Waste load Allocation Study of the Cocheco River to determine the effect of any proposed increase of effluent from the waste water plant. This study would have cost the Town $50,000, but with State help the cost to the Town was $3,400. While the Town's application for a CDBG grant scored well, the State's funds were exhausted so that the Town did not receive housing money.

The department had one Officer called to duty Desert Storm Operation and for quite sometime he was away, stationed in Montana. We had another Officer on a special assignment across the State in First, let's start for the Claremont, New Hampshire helping out in a drug investigation for about 3 for almost 3 months. We had two other Officers who were on notice for possible activation regarding the Desert Storm Operation and we had a position that we were trying to fill. Basically the Department was short handed by 40 percent for about 25 percent of the entire year. The department was able to hire a New Hampshire certified officer hereby saving the Town several thousand dollars in training costs. This officer started around the first of May. Additionally, throughout the year we had officers out on workmen's compensation resulting in several months of lost time. months. We had one Officer in the police academy Second, training; the department and Town, through the Board of Selectmen, have a strong and deep commitment to training the officers and staff in order to minimize officer stress, increase ability, deter lawsuits and provide the best possible police service for the funds allocated. The department and officers attended training on hazardous waste, crime scene photography, narcotic prosecution, 65 �establishing a defensive tion, emergency vehicle operation program, drug identifica- sexual assault investigation, basic fingerprinting and a few. The office staff attended training on stress in DWI programs to name the workplace, and on Uniform Crime Reporting updates. Third, in looking at police operations we fared well despite having 40 percent of assignment, the Police Academy and a war for a good portion of the year. The department presented almost 1200 cases to the Rochester District Court for prosecution. That statistic would have been higher if the department had been at full strength for the whole year. The court assessed $31 ,923.80 in fines, levied 21 years worth of license suspensions, committed people to jail for 384 days and suspended over 3 years worth of jail the department away due to injuries, special time for violators. The department conducted a dozen directed patrols around town in order to deal with speeding, suspicious activity, trespassing or other criminal activity. We helped conduct McGruff and child fingerprinting programs for the Farmington National Bank and the Milton Police Department and when school began we reinstituted our school lunch education classes and in program. In the schools, we participated in driver health classes dealing with alcohol awareness. This department initiated the concept of a Strafford County regionalized Drug Task Force.

We continued to meet with the County Attorney and apparently the Attorney's General Office noticed because progress has been made recently on the concept of regionalizing resources. The future looks promising in this area. We sponsored a meeting of the New Hampshire Criminal Investigators Association at which there were representatives from State, Local and Federal agencies. In August a drug talk was presented to several Yugoslavian students by our detectives. Fourth, regarding equipment, the department received a FAX machine as a donation from the Thayer family, want to thank them ever so much. The machine has been a great help in sending and receiving information. We obtained a new copier, Conway Office Products also brought a nice stand for it at no cost to the department.

In this program there are 944 standards set down by the accreditation commission. mention Sergeant Walter W. Brown. As most people know by June of this year and want to take a minute to reflect upon Walter and his service to the community. Sergeant Brown has been dedicated to the department and to the Town. His knowledge of people and his easy going style have reflected favorably upon the department but most importantly upon himself. When started as Chief in 1987 I'm sure he had some uncertainty as to what to expect. Walter became more knowledgeable and attained many skills. He constantly showed an interest in improving himself and he became more proficient in his duties. It was always Walter turned to when needed information about a person or that person's family. was never disappointed in that area. Walter and have on many occasions talked about the changes in law enforcement and the young men entering into the field and what remember most distinctly is Walter's compassion for people and how he tried to treat every person just like he would like to be treated. wish him many happy and full years in Lastly, now he is I want to retiring in I I I I I I I I his retirement.

The distance covered was 2 3/4 miles. We also paved 1 mile on Spring Street and the paved portion of the River Road. The Highway Department also reconstructed the grade and drainage system and built a new fence along part of the sidewalk on Tappan Street from the Goslin property to the parking lot of Bud Star Market.

We are adding a minimum dose of chlorine and trying not to effect the taste of the water. . The New Hampshire Department of Transportation was supposed to rebuild Tappan Street Bridge in 1991, so we decided to place the water main in the street and across the bridge. This would remove an old 6" main that goes under part of the Catholic Church building and through the river bed. NHDOT had an emergency bridge replacement job and was not able to replace the bridge as planned in 1991. We brought the required materials and tied into the Central Street main and laid several sections of pipe towards the bridge.

We will review this study and use 1992 to look at various options and make long range plans for upgrading the plant to meet the Town's future needs. The Wastewater Department participated with the State in an energy grant 50/50 matching funds. This grant provided for the installation of an oil of fired heating system with the electric heating system being reduced to a backup only. The garage door was replaced with an insulated door and deadlights added to the windows. Several louvers were covered over permanently and one temporarily (winter only) to reduce heat loss. Two variable frequency inverters were added to the return sludge pumps with new nonslip belt/sheave drives to increase their effi- ciency.

Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing pro-cedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The Town has not maintained a record of its general fixed assets and accordingly, a statement of general fixed assets required by generally accepted accounting principles is not included The Town has not maintained the books in the financial report. of the Enterprise Fund on the accrual basis, including the recording of fixed assets, depreciation thereon, and the related indebtedness in current or prior years. The amounts by which the financial statements would change, if these items were included while material, cannot be determined. In our opinion, the financial statements of the Enterprise Fund do not present fairly the financial position of the Enterprise Fund of the Farmington as of December 31 changes in , 1987, or the results of financial position for the year then ended its in Town of operations or conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Several sewer laterals had to be relayed due to conflicts with the storm drain and several telephone conduits had to be relayed also to accomodate the new drain system. An aggreement was arrived at between the Town and Rancourt Properties concerning their new mobile home park. A new clarifier is to be funded by the sewer connection fees and will initiate the upgrade of the wastewater plant. An engineerings firm is being selected and the clarifier will be designed and constructed this summer. The addition, several sewer lines had to be changed in order to accommodate the higher flows. Barron Brothers Construction Company completed the upgrade of the Winter Street sewer lines last fall and will complete the upgrade of a portion of the East Grove Street sewer line this summer. A new type of areator is being evaluated as to its performance in increasing the plant's areation capacity. This problem will need to be addressed in the near future as well as sludge handling and disposal practices.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE department, in cooperation with other emergency service prohas written and submitted a comprehensive plan designed to assist all operations in the event of a large scale incident in Farmington or the surrounding communities. This plan, known as the Farmington Emergency Operation Plan, will be in effect as soon as approval from the state and local governments is in place. This plan was compiled to bring the town into compliance with statute. We still wrestle with the S.A.R.A. title 3 requirements as do most towns of our size. Very little work has been accomplished on the Farmington Hazardous Waste Management Plan at this time. In order to complete this plan a committee of several groups must be formed. The HAZMAT committee is supposed to be represented by Town Government, safety services, industry and local interested persons to be effective. We hope that we will be able to get going on this item as soon as possible. We may find that new industry will not be able to locate here without this plan in place. We also continue to experience problems with inspection and preplanning for fire in our community. This is largely due to the lack of a favorable format and the lack of time faced by the volunteers required to do the inspections. At this time there are only a few individuals who are The fire viders, trained to One do this important task. seems of the biggest obstacles the process.

Carr Chief of Police PLANNING BOARD REPORT The Planning Board had an exceptionally busy year. Three major developments were finally processed. The Rancourt Mobile Home Park after several years of hearings and requirements and revisions was finalapproval for the first phase of 75 units. Rancourt paid ly given $280,000.00 in impact fees to the town for improvements to the sewer system. The two other major projects which either received final approval or came close to receiving final approval in 1988 were the proposed mobile home park of Cassidy on the Dodge Cross Road. Sixty-six units were approved. Mr. Cassidy is paying $80,000.00 to upgrade and pave the Dodge Cross Road. There is another major subdivision pending Great Pine Common which has approximately 80 units. Fiscal impact for these are currently being studied and under negotiation. A small subdivision on the Meaderboro Road for Millside Investors received final approval and are committed to $16,000 in impact fees for improvements to the Meaderboro Road. The Zoning Laws were recodified and put into a more organized format. There are several other potential projects which the Planning Board is There is another proposal for a major manufactured housing park off the Watson Cross Road. Several large pieces of land in town have changed hands from the families that have held them for a long time to people who are likely to develop them. There is also increased development on Route No. 11 of both commercial and industrial nature. The Board found its resources over stretched and had difficulty in keeping up with both its planning responsibilities and the ability to deal with requested projects. Through exceptionally late nights the work has been maintained but we've had a hard time getting ahead. facing.

To John we would like to say thank you, and the best of luck in your new job. Also in 1988 the Farmington Town Players staged their production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown". This production played to full houses, and our congratulations go to them. We look forward to more entertainment from this group. A special thanks go to the Farmington Business Association for supporting all our special events. Hay Day, the Nute Ridge Half Marathon and the Henry Wilson Winter Carnival could not have been successful tion without their help. We continue to look for ways to better serve the people of Farmington expand our programs each year. This year we expanded the teams from one Jr. High team to a Jr. High team, a High School team, and a 5th and 6th grade team. We also added free Karate lessons for all ages, and areobics for children. The department began working with Senior Citizens by giving Halloween and Christmas parties and providing bus transportation to Rochester for Christmas and to recreation basketball shopping. In 1989, we are planning to establish a walking club, and will be researching the possiblity of a walking path around Fernald Park. In closing, would like to thank the Selectmen, the Town Administrator, the Recreation Commission and the people of Farmington for I making my first five months as Director a pleasure.

As indicated in our 1965 report, Farmington does now benefit from the savings made possible by sharing in the state contracts on purchases. Approximately one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) was saved on the purchase of our Police Cruiser. Nearly a two thousand dollar ($2,000.00) saving was realized on the purchase of the new truck, which is now available as an emergency back-up vehicle. We are also saving five cents per gallon on our gasoline purchases over previous years. An added indirect saving to us is made possible by permitting the State Police unit in our area to purchase gasoline here at our cost, a saving Their of approximately twjelve cents per gallon to them previous purchases were at private filling stations. The majority of the town's insurance policies has been grouped into one major policy. There was a saving here, We feel also, as well as greatly increased coverage. still more improvement is available in this area. The Sewer Project was given voter approval and is progressing well in final planning. The Davidson Water Line Extension is now complete and final payment has been made. The expected surplus on this project was exhausted by several unauthorized extras which were installed without our knowledge. Because of our arrangement in overseeing this project, the town was still liable for the added costs; and they were paid under . protest. Article number 19 in our 1967 warrant deserves your spe- cial attention. Approval of this article will be the start of a much-needed program to provide our employees with at least minimal benefits. At present we have only Workman's Compensation. As an observation based on present conditions in our town, we should expect a constant annual rise (over and above our normal increases in operating costs) in property taxes. We are faced with major repairs and/or replace- ments plus demands viduals tion of for added services and programs. we would like to fhank the many indiwho served on committees and aided in the Operaour local government. Your help was appreciated. In concluding, Thank you all. �Respectfully, submitted, Paul A. Therrien Carroll H. Kimball BUILDING COMMITTEE REPORT Specifications for a storage facility for town equipment only are in the possession of the Selectmen. A square foot price estimate is also included. The committee chose not to submit this as an article for your consideration at this time.

Included In the project was much supplementary equipment purchased with these federal funds. An allocation of $2/513 was received for this project. Avery successful six weeks' Summer Reading Program under the direction of Mrs. Bernice Parshley and Miss Florence Stevens both local teachers was also made possible through an allocation of $5,38 7 jointly sponsored by Farmington and Mlddleton school districts. You are urged to read the evaluation of this joint project in the school report. , , Currently, two cooperative projects sponsored by Farmington and Mlddleton are now in operation. Allocation of $2,400 has been made available for library shelving at the High School to accommodate the increased number of volumes and audio-visual aids which are being purchased on a five-year plan to meet the minimum library standards as currently set up. In addition, we are in the second year of approximately $5 ,000 per year, under Title II, of the same act, allocated for the purchase of library books and audio-visual aids to be made available for all schools in Supervisory Union #44. Under another joint project by Farmington and Middleton, an allocation of $3,888 has been made available for the employment of teacher aides to assist the three first grade teachers who now have a total enrollment of 106 children. This project was phased in January 3; and the services of Miss Joyce Nutter, Mrs. Blanche Magee and Mrs. Muriel Martineau were procured. It must be reemphasized that these funded projects come from the joint allocation of both Farmington and Mlddleton school districts Although, at this writing, there are no committee reports in regard to the AREA Concept and the Co-operative School Districts. These are changing times in educational circles, and signs point to growth and innovation in the Immediate future for continued study of this type of organization. There will be a continuance of Federal programs which will affect education in one form or another. We should 107 �be watchful and infonned so that our decisions concerning the education of boys and girls, will be based on facts rather than emotions and hearsay. , Throughout these days ahead we will appreciate, as in the past, your continued cooperation in the best inter- est of good education. Respectfully submitted, Ramon Martineau Superintendent of Schools John Houghton, Jr. As St. Superintendent of Schools 108 �REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL To the Superintendent of Schools: The undersigned herewith submits his report for the period from January 20, 1966, to January 27, 1967. The overall enrollment of pupils In Farmlngton High School has decreased somewhat from that of the previous reporting period. The chief cause of this decrease was the graduation of a large class last June combined with the entrance of a smaller eighth grade than has been the norm In recent years. However, the entering eighth grade in September, 1967, Is expected to return to .the normal figure. The smaller graduating class, combined with the larger eighth grade, should bring the enrollment figure to approximately 311, an increase of 38 over the present figure. The addition of the new industrial plant to Farmlngton 's economy does not seem to have had a significant Impact upon the enrollment in Grades 8 through 12 as yet. On June 17, 1966, fifty-five students were graduated. Of this total, 12 elected to continue their formal education; 12 entered the armed services; 8 married; 28 entered gainful employment; and 2 could not be classified at this time. This was the largest class to graduate in the history of Farmlngton High School. There has been a number of very important additions to the educational opportunities made available to the students of Farmlngton High School this year. Physical education is required of all students in grades eight through twelve. The physical education program is teaching skills that can be used during the student's entire life, as well as benefiting him Immediately through better conditioning and the application of good health habWith the employment of the school librarian on a its full time basis, the school library is open to the students during the full school day and during a portion of the noon recess. The Increased library services help the student to make practical application of the study skills he learns in his classes, and in doing the necessary research for his projects. The supply of appropriate peri. 109 �. make , . possible for him to keep abreast of curmany areas. A guidance counselor has been employed for the first time in several years. The guidance program has benefited the student in enabling him to obtain help in solving the educational and personal problems he may face. It should also be noted that the number of drop-outs since September seems to have decreased in relation to that of previous years. This decrease may be due in part to the guidance program as well as the other new services added to the curriculum odicals it rent developments in , The co-curricula program continues to offer many experiences of value to the students. This program includes athletics; the various clubs such as the Math Club which has won two consecutive Southeastern League Mathalon trophies; and the class organizations. The Student Council continues to be active and has established a point system for student awards in the various activities of the school. In connection with the fall and spring athletics, there has been a problem in regard to the transportation of teams to out-of-town games. With the aid of money earned by the Civics classes in past years, a secondhand school bus has been obtained with which it is hoped this problem will be solved in the best interest of all concerned. , , Farmington High School has been fortunate in retainmany experienced faculty members and in obtaining replacements of those who have chosen to move. Any school can only be as good as its staff, and the contribution made by the teachers to the students' education in Farmington has been significant. With the increasing rewards and benefits being offered to qualified educators in neighboring states and communities, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Farmington to compete for qualified replacements ing The building remains in good condition and requires no more than the usual precautions necessary to preserve the district's investment. The undersigned remains a supas porter of a program of preventive maintenance such regular cleaning of septic tanks, heating equipment the preservation of roofs, floors, plumbing, and the like. , , 110 �^ This attention would tend to prevent the sudden failure of equipment resulting in hazards to the pupils. It may also be noted that the building continues to be used by many outside organizations many times during the year. In closing, the writer would like to express his appreciation of the fine cooperation he has received from the Farmington School Board, the Superintendent of Schools, and his staff, fellow principals, faculty and staff, and from the students and their parents. The voters of the Farmington School District must also be sincerely thanked for the fine additions to the program of the school which they have made possible during the present year. Respectfully submitted Charles H. Morgan Principal 111 �MAIN STREET SCHOOL ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL'S REPORT To the Superintendent of Schools: Expansion of student population necessitated an increase, by one teacher, in the staff this year, resulting in a staff numbering ten in size. This consists of three classroom teachers each for grades five, six, and seven, and one specialist teacher in reading. An additional classroom was required for the extra class, and this was obtained by permanently dividing the auditorium, rendering that facility unavailable to us any longer for joint class activities. New furniture was purchased for this room, also. One other room was modified to some extent to make it suitable for more sophisticated science instruction. This consisted primarily of the installation of a teacher's lab demonstration table. We continue to make extensive use of educational television in the fields of science and social studies. To another television set facilitate our use of this medium has been purchased, providing a set for both upstairs and downstairs. We became the beneficiaries of a considerable amount of special reading equipment and materials which had been purchased by Mr. Martineau with federal funds for the special summer school program held here in Farmington last summer. Perhaps the most significant undertaking of the past year has been the continued development and refinement of the very vital reading program. For the past three years, we have been steadily reorganizing and revising both our instructional technique and materials. Instructional changes have consisted primarily in the utilization of a semi-departmentalized classroom arrangement, allowing three key subjects in both grade five and grade six to be taught by what might be called "specialist teachers." This phase of our reorganization was completed last year. These special classes imply the need of special materiThough als to guarantee really effective implementation. all three subject areas have received attention in this regard, our primary effort here has been in the field of read, 112 �ing, the elementary school's primary reason for being. Extensive materials of exceptional quality were purchased for the fifth grade program last year. These enabled us to develop a reading program in grade five that was truly meciningful and effective for neeirly all the children involved in it. In the past^ as has been more or less traditional in elementary schools, primarily because of lack of adequate teacher time and instructional materials, we had been presenting a mode of reading instruction which, in essence, required the students to fit themselves into a pre-conceived mold of reading competence in carder to effectively benefit from our instruction; a fact , which , for many of them , was not consistent with reality, as indicated by their aptitude and/or achievement levels. Therefore, many of them were not given an equitable opportunity to achieve at levels commensurate with their abilities Departmentalization created more teacher and Interest. time and competence, and the purchase of quality materials of both basal and supplemental natures, geared to several different levels of instruction, made it possible for the teachers to offer instruction on several levels, suitaJDle, in most cases, to the individual students' personal needs and abilities. Thus, our reading program became far more effective and equitable. During the current year this same procedure has been carried out in grade six. It is our plan to further extend this refinement of the reading program into grade seven next year. Respectfully submitted, D^vid Roberts 113 �MEMORIAL DRIVE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT To the Superintendent of Schools: Our Initial enrollment for the year 1966-1967 was 354. The distribution by grades were as follows: 105 Grade 1 85 Grade 2 83 Grade 3 81 Grade 4 Each grade was divided into three sections with the following teacher assignments: Grade 1 - Mrs. M. Clough, Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Larow Grade 2 - Mrs. Jones, Miss Skidds, Miss Whipple Grade 3 - Mrs. G. Clough, Mrs. Gardner, Mrs. Robinson Grade 4 - Mrs. Carr, Mrs. Glldden, Mrs. Parshley We were fortunate in having all our teachers, but one, return this year. Mrs. Stearns, Grade 4, left to teach She was replaced by Mrs. near her home in Barrington. Glidden, who is no stranger to us, having substituted at Memorial Drive many times. Our total enrollment figure remains quite stable although we have had quite a few enter and transfer this year. It might be interesting to note that approximately eighty of the children's parents are employed at Farmington's newest industry. Aruling was made last spring that our incoming first graders must be six years of age by October 1 . It was agreed that for this school year only (1966-1967) that, if they attained this age between October 1 and December 31, and satisfactorily completed a readiness test, theycould enter school in September. Thereafter, there would be no exceptions to the October 1 rule. In spite of this ruling, we enrolled a large first grade. The results of the readiness tests given to all first grade pupils in September show a definite relationship to the pupil's abilities to do Grade 1 work. Supt. Martineau, through the use of federal funds, secured three teacher aids to work with our first grade teachers. These aids are giving valuable help to the beginners in these classes. As for instruction the new math is being taught in all — 114 �our classes. New methods employing filmstrips ,the flash o' graph, the tape recorder, the language lab and individual work, by which the pupil can rate himself, are being utilized in the teaching of reading. The educational TV programs play an important part in our teaching. Mrs. Dorothy Bas sett serves as instructor in both vocal and instrumental music this year. Several of our teachers are taking extension courses. Of necessity, many facilities must be shared by Memorial Drive and the High School. The Memorial Drive teachers wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Morgan and the High School for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Beroiice Parshley 115 �, REPORT OF READING CONSULTANT To the Superintendent of Schools: Every fall all children in Grades 3 through 7 are individually checked as to their Sight Vocabulary Level which means their ability to recognize words out of content.

This only loads the classes with immature children who take the teacher's time away from instruction, and the children are not ready for school. In conclusion, I wish to say that the teachers are continuing to do an excellent job in their reading instruction and are doing their best to get each child up to his potential. Respectfully submitted, Leona Haskell 117 �REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE To the Townspeople, School Board, and Superintendent of School: The following report is for the school year 1965 to 1966.

Guidance al to The general objectives of guidance are to acquire a thorough knowledge of each student as an individual; to know his aptitudes, abilities, interests, physical^ mental and emotional condition , family background including economic status; and other pertinent information which indicate the way to his best adjustment now and in later life. The basic attitude of the guidance program is that the individual is of central importance. Rules and regulations of the school, the community, and society as a whole are important. Equally important are the demands made in our economy for trained workers in our occupational structure. In guidance work the normal growth problems, adjustment, and the progress of the individual as a member of our society are the primary concerns. The counseling service is viewed as that part of guidance that provides a one to one relationship between a student who seeks a better understanding of self and/ or his world and the counselor skilled in the techniques necessary to help the student in the relationship to achieve such an understanding. Students seek counseling through their own initiative , are called by the counselor or are referred to the counselor by parents , teachers , and/or administrators . Typical occasions or conditions that may indicate a need for counseling are (1) personal problems; (2) educational, vocational or avocational problems; (3) interpretation of test scores; (4) health problems; (5) college admissions and scholarships; school grades and underachievement; (7) adjust(6) ment; (8) discipline problems; (9) four year program planning; and (10) vocational exploration. Several students attend group counseling sessions. 121 �, Small groups of students chosen because of certain complimentary characteristics, are drawn together, and as a result, enchance the effectiveness of the counseling ef, fort. Parents are invited to contact the counselor at anytime the counselor can be of assistance. The counselor attempts to provide and interpret information about individual students and provide information about courses graduation requirements, school regulations, college admissions, scholarships, referrel agencies, etc. The counselor provides and interprets information about individual students and cooperates with teachers to help students derive maximum benefits from instruction. Following the philosophy that the basic responsibility of the school is to assist each individual to develop to his potential, the school has the obligation of helping the student recognize and understand his abilities.

Aptitude, intelligence, achievement, personality tests are administered upon the student's request or counselor's recommendation. The counselor attempts to assist the administration by identifying and interpreting requirements of the local labor market and studying the changing demands and requirements of post high school training requirements. The information service provides students with information about: high school programs, courses, (1) graduation requirements, and miscellaneous school information; (2) college, trade school, vocational schools, special schools, and apprenticeship programs; and (3) scholarship, financial, and self-help information.

MEMORIAL DRIVE SCHOOL SUMMER READING PROGRAM TITLE 1 , E S E A Our Summer Reading Program, of six weeks duration, could be classed as "Remedial." The thirty pupils were divided into two groups. One group involved pupils in Grades 2 and 3, and the other group was made up of pupils from Grades 4 and 5. With these small groups, it was possible to work on an individual and two or three grouping basis. We used the "Learning through Seeing" filmstrlps with the younger group, which, by the use of "Seeing Skills" films and Flash-O-Graph, promoted attention and interest. The "Seeing Skills" were followed by vocabulary drills (filmstrips) consisting of Dolch words and phrases succeeded, of course, by the work in comprehension. This type of work, in addition to selected phonetic drills, was done with the whole group with particular attention to individual remedial needs. Next, small groups worked with Scott Foresman material. Ateacher would be busy with one small group while other groups worked in various parts of the room, reading, debating comprehension choices, etc. and it was good to hear disagreements and sometimes quite vigorous arguments concerning some word usages. — — Of all the phases, we worked harder on comprehension from the manual suggested idea to the old way of questions page by page and "Who can find the answer? " It did pay off, not only in comprehension, alone, but in a sensible attack on pronunciation and vocabulary building. We used IB of the S.R.A. in this group. The tape recorder and the language laboratory were much in use. — We found that Grade 2 did not seem to progress the last week; in fact, they sometimes appeared to regress, while Grade 3 pupils showed a steady gain. Effort and cooperation were excellent in both groups Reading materials found most helpful in the upper group were the Reading Training Films based on the Developmental Series by Lyons and Carnahan; the S.R.A. Reading Laboratory; and the Elementary Reading Tachist-O-Films. 124 �In addition to group work, there was opportunity for the teacher to give much individual help and attention. Definite progress along many lines was noted, not only in reading, but in less tangible qualities as self-assurance, self-respect, and leadership. We told the children at the beginning of the program that they were not going to be "ranked," that we were there to help them read better and we think that this was Praise was readily a big factor in their achievement. given, but there was no pressure. If someone were slow, we suggested that they might like to do a little more and it was willingly done . We had two breaks we found were needed in our three-hour period, which in the summer weather. Attendance was excellent for a voluntary summer program. We were very satisfied with the individual accomplishments.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT We, the selectmen of the town of Farmington, herewith submit for your consideration the annual report.

Upon attempting to repair the Tappan street bridge we found that not only the surface was in bad condition but also the main timbers needed to be re- After considering various ways of repairing or we decided to replace with a new steel and concrete structure.

Also one bridge on the so-called "New Road" to Hometown had to be replaced (broken by an overloaded truck) and this was replaced by a more pennanent Insurance was collected on this. bridge. Our T. R. A. money was expended on the Meetinghouse hill road and during this construction we found one bridge in an unsafe condition. We replaced this with two culverts. These are four feet in diameter, made of reinforced concrete and should last many years with no maintenance expense. Warren street, Prosr)ect street and part of Orange Also Water street. street were graded and tarred. Other streets and roads were also tarred. In 1052 the Watson Crossroad bridge will need major repair. Possibly it should be replaced with new construction. If so we may be able to secure state bridge aid for this purpose. �4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF FARMINGTON, N. H. The state has increased the compact area of the town by about one-half mile and this will have to be maintained by the town. Much Avork will have to be done on our country roads this coming year as they need grading, ditches and more culverts.

To meet it successfully, New Hampshire and your communitv^ needs your thoughtful and cooperative effort. Continuously heavy lumbering operations following fhe hurricane has produced more than four billion board feet of lumber. This lumber helped win World War IT, meet post war needs and now the current requirements for the Korean military action. But it has added nearly OOOjOOO acres of slash to our already sizable slash problem. When you fail to use needed precautions while burniug in or near woodlands When 3^ou fail to secure the required permit from your local forest fire warden before burning When 3'-ou are careless in smoking near woodlands "N^Tien you throw lighted cigars, cigarettes and matches from vehicles moving along the highway You are violating fundamental couimon sense and may easily contribute to a substantial and costly fire. Such conflagrations are possible because of the hundreds of thousands of slash acres throughout the state!

HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT Foreword: Fimdamenlially, the health of a nais the most potential line of defense all enemies. Not nntil a comparatively few years have major efforts been made and monies appropriated to bnild np organizations charged to guard i)nblic health and to channel its importance for better understanding to the individual. It no longer is necessary that a disease or condition become prevalent to arouse public concern, for a better realization of individual responsibility and organization detects, alerts and puts into operation the most effective methods for control. A backward glance at statistics, and to the average adult his own obser-vation, proves that the ravages of the most contagious, infectious and viscious diseases are being cut down. community and weapon against tion or a This comprehends Is the answer. and more universal dissemination of Organization research, training ! knowledge pertaining to public health, in order that every individual may assume his patriotic part in defense at all times. That Farmington is a unit in such organization, state and local, should lie a matter of pride to eveiy citizen, as he definitel}^ is a member of such organization. So, as we face the future of another year, let us all carr-y responsibility for such membership. Officials are only members who work for, and with, their constituents. Aside from an acknowleged epidemic of influenza, which Farmington shared, as the malady swept the countiy several months ago, but claimed no local fatalities, this community has been providently immune. We were charged with one case of polioniA^elitis last year. However, this case developed while the patient was attending summer camp out of town; was treated at a Manchester hospital and there was no local contact. Of this dreadful disease, the "Communicable Disease Bulletin", published monthly in interests of the work of health officers, physicians, hospitals and nurses, in part has this to say: "Experience with polio in New Hampshire has revealed a tendency for the incidence of this disease to increase in cycles of approximately three �: ANNUAL REPORT OP THE TOWN OF FARMINGTON, N. H. 49 If this trend persists, tlie state may expect an increase during the summer ot 1952", This possibility suggests early vaccination of children before warm weather, as this immunization is suspected of correlation in cases of polio paralysis. Therefore, it is wise to attend to vaccinations at once. years. The general program of the New Hampshire Health Officer's Manual will be pursued as usual, for the ensuing year, with such exceptions as the state may have occasion to direct. Your health officer takes this opportunity to thank and acknowlege the sincere cooperation of physicians, school and visiting nurse, superintendent of schools, school board and teachers, as well as all departments of the town associated with the work of this office, including the press and general public.

D A R L I N G T O N , Jr., '26 D U R I N G the w i n t e r of 1939-40 the M u s e u m of Comparative Zoology at H a r v a r d has received one of the finest collections of N o r t h Americaia beetles i n existence—that of the late D r . H e n r y C l i n t o n F a l l . I t contains about a quarter of a m i l lion specimens, r a n g i n g i n size f r o m giants several inches long to pygmies m u c h smaller than the head of a p i n . More t h a n one h u n dred thousand of the specimens, about fifteen thousand species, are i n a m a i n N o r t h A m e r i can series w h i c h fills to o v e r f l o w i n g 296 boxes, each 12 by 8 inches.

T h e balance of the quarter m i l l i o n is made up by exotic beetles, and there are also a few thousand good butterflies and moths. A l l of the specimens are beautifully prepared and arranged. M a n y of the exotics are showy, but the F a l l Collection is not for show. It is not and never w i l l be on exhibition to the public. T h e N o r t h A m e r i c a n section i n particular is a working collection of the very greatest v a l ue, w h i c h w i l l be reserved for the use of scientists. T o understand the scientific value of an enormous accumulation of specimens of this sort, one must k n o w something of the purposes and methods of m u s e u m w o r k . Most big zoological museums have two functions: the obvious one of exhibition and C h i l d h o o d collections of shells and butterflies lie at the back and bottom of many A m e r i c a n h a l l closets—cracked and moth-eaten evidence that the collection irripulse flowers ( a n d generally dies) young. T h a t it continues to stir the pulses of the rare adult, and causes h i m to pursue all sorts of ephemera to the ultimate satisfaction of the glass bottle and the cork and common p i n , is beyond the understanding of the average l a y m a n .

It is the business of a m u s e u m m a n to find out w h a t sort of animals there are, where they come f r o m , and h o w they m a y be distinguished. H e does this by getting together and studying large numbers of properly preserved and labeled specimens. A n d w h e n he has done it, he gives names to the different kinds, and publishes a concise .scheme of classification. A n d the specimens he has used are stored a w a y i n the m u s e u m for c h e c k i n g and for future use. N o w , m u s e u m w o r k is f u n , or there w o u l d be few people engaged i n it, for it is not w e l l paid. B u t it is also useful i n an unostentatious w a y , if it is properly done and if the results are properly published so that other people can use them. T h e classification of animals is, perhaps, not important i n itself, unless the pleasure it gives to m a n y amateur and professional taxonomists is important, but it is a means to several useful ends. T h e first great use of a n i m a l classification is to set up a system w h i c h is like a giant card index, i n w h i c h each a n i m a l has its place and name by means of w h i c h a l l sorts of information can be filed away and found again. H o w such a system w o r k s is best s h o w n by example. Suppose (for example—it really happened) a mosquito suddenly appears i n B r a z i l and raises hell w i t h the m a l a r i a l rate. T h e first t h i n g to do is to find out the name of the mosquito and its place i n classification, either by direct comparison w i t h a scientific collection, or by consulting a specialist, w h o has studied collections. A n d suppose (as was the case) the mosquito turns out to be a c o m m o n A f r i c a n species, Anopheles gambiae. Then one can look up that name i n bibliographies a n d indexes, and go f r o m them to articles i n scattered scientific journals, and may find a good deal on record about the habits and control of that particular mosquito neatly filed away (so to speak) under the name. A n d even if no further information is found, the �856 H A R V A R D A L U M N I knowledge that the insect is A f r i c a n and has invaded B r a z i l , probably a r r i v i n g as a n u n invited guest i n an airplane, w a r n s that the species can enter n e w country w i t h disastrous results a n d that it must be guarded against, by fumigation of airplanes f r o m infected regions and by other means. B u t if the mosquito d i d not have a name and a place i n classification to distinguish it f r o m all other mosquitoes, it w o u l d be next to impossible to discover that it came to B r a z i l f r o m A f r i c a or that a n y t h i n g had been k n o w n about it before. O r suppose (this really happened, too) a striped beetle appears i n G e r m a n y and attacks potato plants so severely that it is officially proclaimed " F a r m e r s ' E n e m y N u m ber 1 " . It is easy to discover i n any of several good G e r m a n museums that it is the A m e r i can "Potato B u g " , Leptinotarsa decemlineata, and then it is easy to look up the best w a y to fight it, w i t h o u t costly delay. O f course, it is not always necessary to rush to a m u s e u m to identify a pest, for museums do not have a corner on a n i m a l classification. B u t the sort of w o r k w h i c h is done i n research museums is w h a t makes identification pos- B U L L E T I N sible, not only i n emergencies but i n thousands of less spectacular cases. A n d w i t h the increasing size of modern collections and the increasing volume of the literature, museums are c a r r y i n g more and more of the load of n a m i n g and i n d e x i n g the a n i m a l w o r l d . np A X O N O M Y — t h e classification of aniX_ mals and plants—has contributed to pure science too, more than most l a y m e n realize. It contributed, for instance, to the discovery of the theory of evolution by natural selection, w h i c h has had such profound influence not only on biology but on modern thought. T h e principle of natural selection was u n covered independently by two men, Charles D a r w i n and A l f r e d Russel W a l l a c e . B o t h of these m e n were deeply interested i n classification and i n the closely related problem of geographical distribution of organisms. Both m e n traveled widely, collecting animals and plants and finding m a n y n e w species, some of w h i c h were later given the names darwini and wallacei. D a r w i n widened his interests greatly i n later l i f e ; W a l l a c e was always p r i m a r i l y a student of classification and distribution. It is no accident that these t w o i n - I IN T H E F A L L COLLECTION: T H R E E EXOTIC NORTEI AMERICAN BEETLES �LA G U A R D I A A T FIRST SENIOR-ALUMNI D I N N E R T H R E E hundred and fifty seniors—nearly half the class—filled to capacity the Eliot H o u s e d i n i n g hall on the occasion of the first S e n i o r - A l u m n i D i n n e r last T h u r s day. T h e occasion was the fulfillment of the long-cherished conviction of D r . E l l i o t t C . Cutler, '09, President of the H a r v a r d A l u m n i Association, that seniors w o u l d be glad to be informed of their rights and privileges as a l u m n i before leaving the U n i v e r s i t y . W h e n first consulted, the senior officers immediately responded to the suggestion by the appointment of the three marshals, T h o m a s V . H e a l e y , P h i l C . N e a l , Ernest J . Sargeant, and F r e d e r i c k H o l d s w o r t h , Jr., as a committee to manage the dinner. Professor Roger B . M e r r i m a n , '96, Master of E l i o t House, enthusiastically approved the choice of the E l i o t d i n i n g room. R o y L . Westcott, manager of the U n i v e r s i t y D i n i n g H a l l s , provided a special dinner, and the A l u m n i Association contributed free beer and cigarettes. A t the first meeting, the senior committee expressed the hope that the class might be addressed by a national figure w h o w o u l d give them a n optimistic v i e w of their chances i n the troubled w o r l d they w o u l d encounter w h e n they left the U n i v e r s i t y . T h r o u g h the excellent offices of a classmate of D r . Cutler's father, Charles C . B u r l i n g h a m , '79, w h o m Mayor Fiorello H . L a G u a r d i a described as "the first citizen of N e w Y o r k C i t y , " the N e w Y o r k M a y o r was prevailed upon to m a k e a special trip to C a m b r i d g e to address the Senior Class. T l i e energetic and popular Mayor L a G u a r d i a of N e w Y o r k City paid a flying visit to H a r v a r d last week to speak at tlie first S e n i o r - A l u m n i D i n n e r ( E l i o t House) and to address afterwards (Indoor Athletic B u i l d i n g ) some 7 0 0 students at a meeting sponsored by the Council of Government Concentrators. H i s Honor came to the S e n i o r - A l u m n i D i n n e r on the invitation of D r . E l l i o t t C . Cutler, ' 0 9 , President of the A l u m n i Association, and through the offices of a past President, Charles C . B u r l i n g h a m , ' 7 9 . T h e success of the evening is evidenced by this article prepared for the B U L L E T I N by W i l l i a m G . Roelker, ' 0 9 . T h r e e quarters of an hour ahead of time, the seniors began to pack both entries to the d i n i n g hall. E v e r y seat was q u i c k l y filled, and some thirty or forty late arrivals could not be accommodated. U n d e r prolonged applause the M a y o r entered the hall under the escort of D r . Cutler, Professor M e r r i m a n , and several A l u m n i Directors. W h e n the dinner had advanced f r o m mock turtle soup to strawberry ice-cream and coffee, Professor M e r r i m a n rose to w e l come the Mayor to H a r v a r d and E l i o t House. " T h e Class of 1940 is fortunate to have the opportunity tonight to be addressed by the M a y o r of N e w Y o r k , " he said, " a n d H i s H o n o r is equally privileged to have as a n audience one of the best classes I have ever k n o w n i n m y fifty years' connection w i t h the University." D r . Cutler, introducing the subject of the rights w h i c h the seniors w i l l enjoy w h e n they become a l u m n i , touched on the history of the College and the A l u m n i Association. " E x - P r e s i d e n t John Q u i n c y A d a m s , 1787, was elected first President w h e n the organization was founded at Commencement, 1840. For a number of years it was largely a social organization whose meetings, consisting of a two-hour oration and a dinner followed by numerous speeches, lasted u n t i l sunset. B y 1848 the Association had nearly petered out. At this time the Board of Overseers was still composed of officials of the Commonwealth and the ministers of the neighboring towns—Boston, Watertown, etc.—as it had been since the foundation of the College. T h e Corporation, created by the Charter of 1650 as a sort of executive committee for the Overseers, was composed, as it is today, of five Fellows, in perpetual succession, and the President and Treasurer. T h i s body must have the consent of the Overseers for its undertakings, and thus the Overseers act as a sort of brake and safeguard upon the Corporation. I n 1848 a number of men were elected to the Legislature who felt that Harvard was 25 years behind the times both in teaching and i n organization. A bill was introduced to remodel the Charter by increasing the Corporation to fifteen �H A R V A R D A L U M N I dependent discoverers of natural selection had similar t r a i n i n g and lived at the same time. U n t i l a multitude of obscure taxonomists had carried the classification of the a n i m a l and plant w o r l d s to the point where relationships could be appreciated, neither D a r w i n nor anyone else could very w e l l conceive of natural selection. B u t w h e n that point w a s reached, the conception was certain, and w o u l d certainly have come to someone else if neither D a r w i n nor W a l l a c e had got it. A n d there is no reason to t h i n k that the contributions of taxonomy to pure science are over. T h e most s t r i k i n g recent advances i n evolutionary theory have come chiefly f r o m genetics laboratories. B u t w e do not yet k n o w whether or not geneticists are on the track of evolution as it really occurs i n nature. M a n y persons t h i n k not. T a x o n o mists and paleontologists, most of w h o m are taxonomists too, w h o study the differences w h i c h have really evolved a m o n g l i v i n g and fossil animals, see the real products of evolution, and these persons are i n the best position to criticize the geneticists' conclusions. T h e next great contribution to our k n o w l edge of evolution w i l l probably not be made by taxonomists directly, but their criticism is likely to help geneticists and cytologists to m a k e it. A n d evolution is w o r t h understanding. O n e of these days, if Professor H o o t o n is sufficiently eloquent, w e m a y try to direct the evolution of m a n . T h e n evolutionary theory w i l l cease to be pure science and w i l l become of the most vital, practical i m portance. But to come back to D r . F a l l ' s beetles: I do not mean, of course, that they w i l l save us f r o m some insidious insect pest or that they w i l l introduce a n e w era i n biological thought. W h a t I do m e a n is that the F a l l Collection has a far greater value than if it were merely a quarter of a m i l l i o n pretty insects pinned at r a n d o m into a few h u n d r e d boxes. I t represents a very real contribution to taxonomy, and through taxonomy to all science. I t represents not only the value of the i n d i v i d u a l specimens, but also a lifetime of intelligent w o r k . O n the basis of this collection. D r . B U L L E T I N 857 F a l l published 144 scientific papers, described and named about 1,400 n e w species, and revised (reclassified) a number of our largest and most difficult genera. A n d even this is not a l l . T a x o n o m y is, or should be, a cooperative u n d e r t a k i n g carried on by m a n y persons, generation after generation, according to specific rules w h i c h have been established by an international committee. A n d throughout his w o r k D r . F a l l d i d cooperate and d i d abide by the rules—some persons do not, and m a k e more confusion than they do good. H e took the trouble ( a n d it is often a lot of trouble) to check back to the specimens studied by earlier taxonomists to m a k e sure just w h a t they were t a l k i n g about w h e n their descriptions were ambiguous, and he kept i n touch w i t h his contemporaries. H i s boxes are f u l l not only of his o w n authentic " t y p e s " but of specimens compared w i t h other f a m ous collections, and of authentic specimens received f r o m other w o r k e r s . T h e F a l l C o l lection represents, as w e l l as any one man's w o r k can, a complete cross section of modern classification of N o r t h A m e r i c a n beetles. I t is not only a monument to D r . F a l l , w h o made it, and a fine acquisition for the m u s e u m as it stands, it is also a first-class basis for further w o r k , i n this and future generations. A n d a little by w a y of biography: H e n r y C l i n t o n F a i l was born December 25, 1862, at F a r m i n g t o n , N . H . , and died N o v e m b e r 14, 1939, at T y n g s b o r o , Mass. H e w e n t to D a r t mouth College ('84), and received an honorary S c . D . f r o m D a r t m o u t h i n 1929. He was, by profession, a teacher of physics and chemistry. H i s interest was turned to the study of beetles as a n avocation w h e n he w a s fifteen years o l d : J u l y 17, 1878, at W a k e f i e l d , Mass., at 7.30 i n the evening, w h e n he caught and was fascinated by a specimen of a b i g "longicorn", Prionus pocularis. H e preserved and labeled the specimen. I t was the first of his quarter m i l l i o n . W e feel that it is a great compliment to the M u s e u m of Comparative Zoology that D r . F a l l , w h o was not a H a r v a r d m a n , chose to leave his collection to us for safe keeping and for future use. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
