MINUTE ON THE DEATH OF DR. C. A. WHITING 



Late Chairman of the Biological Section of the Southern California 



Academy of Sciences 



The members of the Southern California Academy of Sciences 

 have learned with grief of the shocking death of Dr. C. A. Whiting. 

 We desire to record our Appreciation of the faithful service of Dr. 

 Whiting to the Academy, and his unfailing devotion with zeal and 

 enthusiasm to whatever duty he accepted and his genial spirit of cour- 

 tesy and helpfulness to all. He possessed the spirit of the true sci- 

 entist and teacher; always ready to share his knowledge with others 

 and always appreciative of the efforts of others in matters of scientific 

 research. His devotion to duty was equaled by a native and genuine 

 courtes}' which added much to the pleasure as well as the profit of 

 his association with the Academy, and we shall greatly miss both his 

 genial personality and his helpful contribi:tions to the progress of 

 this organization. 



CHARLES L. EDWARDS, 

 MELVILLE DOZIER,
