Description:	The 1898-1899 Georgetown University catalog contains the following description of the Biology Department: "The ornithological collection, consisting of thousands of specimens, including many rare exotic species, has been put in thorough order and makes a handsome display. The entire collection has been fumigated, placed in newly-constructed dust-proof cases, and freshly labeled in accordance with the new nomenclature adopted by the American Ornithologists' Union. The shell collection is large, and has long been admired for the beauty and variety of the specimens. The herbarium, containing many thousand plants, has been remounted on the form sheets adopted by the National Herbarium in the Department of Agriculture." The student pictured is Samuel Logan Owens who earned his M.D. from Georgetown in 1903 and practiced in northwest Washington, D.C, for 48 years.
