Dr. Frank Russell '96, formerly Instructor in Anthropology, died yesterday at Chloride, Arizona. The cause of his death is not yet known.
He was graduated from the University of Iowa in 1892, spent two and a half years alone in the far North in anthropological and zoological work, and then came to Harvard, where he took the degrees of A.B., A.M., and Ph.D., in 1896 1897 and 1898. He was appointed instructor in 1896, and held the position until last May, when he resigned and went to Arizona to start a ranch.
Dr. Russell was connected with the bureau of American Ethnology in 1900-1901, and was at one time associate editor of the American Naturalist. He was a member of the American Geographical Society, president of the American Folk-Lore Society, and one of the founders of the American Anthropological Association. "Explorations in the Far North" and a number of shorter scientific papers were written by him.
