President's Room Princeton University Princeton, NJ May 24,1907 My dear Sir:- In reply to your letter of May 21st, I would say that we have never made any arrangements at Princeton by which a student who does work of a high grade in any given course receives more credit thereon toward graduation than one who does work at an ordinary grade. We have never considered such an arrangement because we do not graduate men by "points", and our courses under our new system of study are reading courses rather than lecture courses, making it impossible, as it is undesirable, that a course should be reckoned by the number of hours devoted to it in classroom. Very sincerely yours, Woodrow Wilson Mr. Charles R. Keyes

ALL CORRESPONDENCE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Washington U.S.A. UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY NATIONAL ZOOLOGICALPARK ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY INTERNATIONAL CATALOGUE OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE Taunton, Mass., Nov. 4, 1910. Mr. Charles R. Keyes, Mt. Vernon, Ia Dear Mr. Keyes: I duly received your favor of the 28th ult. and am very glad to hear that you are willing to contribute to the work on the Life of North American Birds. For the present, I shall work almost exclusively on the birds to be covered in the first volume, beginning with the Grebes and ending with the Swans on the A.O.U.list. I shall be glad to have you send me, at your convenience, a list of the species to be included in this volume on which you could furnish material of interest regarding their life histories. I intend to ask for similar lists from all who volunteer to contribute to this work, from which I can so plan out the distribution of the work as to have each species thoroughly studied in as many portions of its range as possible. Each observer will then be given sufficient time to study the species allotted to him and send me the results of his observations, from which selections will be made for publication. In order to determine more accurately the breeding limits of various species, I shall send out printed blanks on which I would like to have each observer report a full list of the breeding birds of his locality with certain notes as to relative abundance. These blanks I have not yet fully prepared but will send you some later.
Thanking you for your interest in the matter and hoping to hear from you more fully later on, I am,
Very truly yours,
AC Bent

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION
Washington, U.S.A.

Taunton, Mass., Dec. 29, 1915

Mr. Charles R. Keyes
Mt. Vernon
Iowa

Dear Mr. Keyes:

I was much pleased to receive your interesting letter of the 20th inst., and to learn that you had returned from abroad.
I am sorry to hear that the conditions in Iowa are such that the water birds are gradually disappearing, but this is not [to] be wondered at in a region which is increasing in population and in agricultural pursuits. The conditions are practically the same in North Dakota where the prairie has almost entirely disappeared, and most of the sloughs where the ducks bred have been drained and cultivated. Even Saskatchewan, which I visited two seasons in succession, is making rapid strides in the same direction, and it was appalling to see how marked the change was from one season to another.
You still have an interesting lot of water birds breeding at Eagle Lake and I sincerely hope that something can be done to preserve this interesting locality as a reservation for breeding water fowl. We ought to have a number of such reservations throughout the middle west if we are going to save from total extinction many of our most interesting species.
You will be interested to know that my work on the Life His-

C.R.K. #2 Dec. 29, 1915

tories is progressing well and that I expect to have my manuscript for volume one deposited in Washington before the end of this winter. The Life Histories for this volume are now all written except fourteen of the Steganopodes. The distributional part of the work is in the hands of Dr. Bishop and I am afraid it will take him a year or so more to finish it. Then it will probably take the Smithsonian a year or so more to decide upon the illustrations and have the plates made, so you can see it will be some little time before the work is actually published. In the meantime, the manuscript will be open to any additions or corrections which new information may make desirable.
Some time this winter, I expect to publish a complete list of the information wanted as a final appeal to ornithologists to get this for me.
Hoping to hear from you again when you have anything interesting to report, and wishing you the compliments of the season, I am

Sincerely yours,
AL Bent

Bozeman, Montana, 8/14/23 Prof. Chas. A. Keyes, Mt. Vernon, Iowa.
My Dear "Charlie":- Your letter of 2nd came to have duly and has been perused with much interest. I am aware that it was quite some time since I formerly wrote you; but knew my letter had not been consigned to the waste basket, and that whenever the "psychical Moment" arrived, you would give due evidence thereof. I had known of the demise of Dr. King, and one of the reflections that occurred to me was a mental query as to whether or not it might affect the matter of the Museum interests. It is therefore with pleasure that I learn the "Windfall" the College fund has acquired, and the strong probability that the Archeological Department, in which you are so interested, is likely to have better facilities in room space and other points, provided for its functionings. I do not at the moment recall Mr. Emmert; but am glad he pursued a successful business career, and that the good old College is to benefit there from--a total of $4,400,000 added to the fund is certainly a great record and adds very great financial strength. I note the probability now, that there is hope for a new building and space and proper equipment for the Museum department. This, of course, very considerably alters the outlook for the future--for which naturally we build. And your letter only strengthens and confirms my judgement of having pursued the proper method in having asked you to accept fully and unreservedly, the charge and care and disposition of whatever is to be done with the articles which were donated by me. This, merely in passing, I here confirm. Personally, I regard it a real favor that you were willing to take over the charge and whatever responsibility may attach therefrom. I quite realize that personally, from existing conditions, it is something that I could not do intelligently myself; also, that your qualifications are incomparably better
than mine are or can be. It is therefore as another added pleasure that I learn of the deserved appointment you are having this summer and of the advantages it brings to your efforts. The trips you were appointed to make must have carried a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction with them to you.
As to the Books on Antiquities etc I have rather hastily looked over what I seem to have, which includes the following:-
Fort Ancient, by W.K. Moorehead,
Historic Implements " ,
Primitive Man in Ohio " ' and

Antiquities of the Southern Indians, particularly of Georgia, by C.C. Jones.

Rather to my dismay, I failed to find the one you mention, "Thruston Antiquities of Tennessee"--which I know I did have; and am entirely at a loss to comprehend where it may be. I shall make a further search; since having become homeless through loss of my wife, my things are scattered and a good many given away and entirely lost to knowledge. I may find it and will make further search. (Had a happy thought occur-have been home and
looked in the right spot and found it).
Of the others, the "Historic Implements" by Moorehead, contains illustrations of the "Idol" or Image I gave the College, also of the large Mortar and two pestles obtained from the Silver Lake country in SW Oregon. I have some photographs of them also.
The Georgia book was presented by the author to Col. Lewis Tumlin, a Georgian, on whose plantation some of the famous Etowah mounds are located--and which I have seen and been over. A Daughter of Col. Lewis Tumlin, Mrs. Lyon, a former good friend of mine (now deceased) presented with me the book about the time I secured the Etowah stone effigy. While I prize these two volumes from personal reasons, yet I think I shall send them to you; where they will, I know, be better and more carefully preserved and made useful than if I keep them; meantime would be glad if you will advise me if copies of the volumes mentioned will be duplicates-in which case of course you would not particularly care for them. Perhaps by the time I hear in regard to that point, I shall be able to find the Thruston book to be made to accompany the others. There will be not "bill" for them-while all but the Georgia book were purchased by me; and it is possible I may come across others. In case you have not read the new book of Wells, "An Outline of History"-I will guarantee it will deeply interest you.
With sincere kind regards and always with best wishes, I remain
Very sincerely yours,
AJ Powers

House of Representatives U.S. Committee on Agriculture Washington, D.C. June 2, 1930 Mr. Charles R. Keyes, Director of Survey, The State Historical Society of Iowa Mt. Vernon, Iowa. Dear Mr. Keyes: I am in receipt of your letter of recent date in regard to H.R. 7994, a bill extending protection to the American Eagle. Hearings have been held on the bill and the same was called up for consideration two or three times, but owing to the pressure of bills of mire importance it has not yet been released. Undoubtedly, the bald eagle, the emblem of independence, is entitled to a great deal of consideration and were it not for recent reports of his bad conduct, especially in attacking sheep, I am sure all would agree that he should be afforded the protection suggested in the bill. Being mindful of Benjamin Franklin's description of the bird as follows: "For my part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character and does not make his living honestly", frankly speaking, there is doubt in my mind, which seems to be concurred in by and, whether to afford protection to the animals against cruel destruction by the eagle, or to give the bald eagle the right-of-way to carry o his atrocious method of destruction. Under separate cover, I am sending you a copy of the hearings on the bill. Under separate cover, I am sending you a copy of the hearings on the bill.
I am glad to your your letter and assure you that you suggestions will be given due consideration.

Very truly yours,
G.N. Haugen

Harvard University Medical School Department of Biological Chemistry Boston, Massachusetts April 18, 1943 Professor Charles R Keyes Mt Vernon, Iowa Dear Professor Keyes, In a Cornell College Bulletin which came to my attention just recently I noted a photograph with you together with some comments on your recent activities. These have impelled me to send a brief note of felicitation. Well I do recall many instances when I benefited from contact with you as a student. Also I remember my good fortune in having been in the audience at the Harvard Commencement when the doctor's degree was conferred upon you, and afafterwards I found you and through your courtesy was introduced to the first Harvard alumni exercises that I had witnessed. These are vivid and pleasant recollections. In conclusion, I express the hope that this will find you in comfortable health and I am certain that it will find you with a surplus of interesting things to do. Sincerely yours Harry C. Trimble
