The Lizard Perspective. Professor Romer (left) welcoming Professor Mayr to his new office as Director of the Museum Two of the foremost evolutionary biologists of the 20th century were successive directors of the MCZ. Alfred Sherwood Romer (1946- 1961) assumed his post at the close of World War II. He inherited an institution in "desperate" financial straits due to limited income and rampant (wartime) inflation. Most salaries, he decried, "were desperately ; Yet, thanks to his skillful management and the generosity of key supporters, especially George and Mabel Agassiz, by the end of Romer's tenure "the wolf is, for the moment at least, no longer scratching at the ; The improved situation enabled Ernst Mayr (1961-1970) to prevail over—indeed, to promote—an important expansion of MCZ, both physically and programmatically. He initiated construction of a new wing, the MCZ Laboratories, equipped for studies of behavior, environmental physiology, population biology and biochemical evolution, which would "enrich the intellectual atmosphere of the ; He also helped establish the Concord Field Station and secure the Estabrook Woods for field studies.
