tesy which marked the discharge of his duties as Trustee. His cordial 
manner and considerate treatment of his associates endeared him to 
them personally. 
In the light of his long and distinguished service, the Committee 
recommends to the Board the adoption of the following resolution:— 
RESOLVED, that the Trustees of the Missouri Botanical Garden 
deeply regret the passing away of their associate Trustee and 
President, David F. Kaime, and express to his bereaved family 
their deep and heartfelt sympathy in the loss which they share 
with the community. 
In Mr. Kaime’s death, the Trustees have been deprived of one 
of their most experienced and valuable members and advisers, 
and a genial and whole-souled friend, The results of his efficient 
services to the Board will be felt while the great trust created by 
Henry Shaw continues to exist. His kindly presence and stead- 
fast strength of character will remain with the members of the 
Board of Trustees, with whom he was so long associated, as a 
tender compe during their lives; and the community which he 
has benefited 
y his many gratuitous and valuable services will 
hold him always in grateful recollection. 
RESOLVED, that an engrossed copy of this minute and resolu- 
tion be transmitted to Mr. Kaime’s family as a fitting, though 
inadequate, tribute to the esteem in which he was held.
