It involved recataloguing and storing the material in the building constructed to house the botanical collections belonging to the University. When the transfer took place, the Arboretum was left with books and specimens necessary, in the Corporation's view, to the effective operation of the Arboretum as a research facility. Materials now located in Cambridge are clearly marked "Arnold Arboretum," and are maintained from funds provided for that purpose...
