I had applied for a post as assistant curator at a local museum.

This assistant curator came to yet another incorrect conclusion about who had previously used the desk.

Several years later, he attained the position of assistant curator, and in 1949 was appointed chief curator and given the title of professor.

He was appointed assistant curator in 1954, and associate curator in 1962.

He joined the herpetology department in 1922 as a research assistant and assistant curator 1917 and became the chair of the department in 1924.
