Resolved, That the Torrey Botanical CUib has learned with 

 the deepest regret of the death of Professor Joseph Schrenk, one

 research, but also by his pure and lofty character as a man, the 

 soul of honor, gentleness and truth he has endeared himself to 

 the hearts of our members.

 tended to the family of the deceased and a copy of these resolu- 

 tions be sent them.
