The committee appointed to prepare resolutions on the 

 death of the Academy's late president, Mr. Edwin Harrison, 

 recommended the following: — 



With the death on May 13, 1905, of Mr. Edwin Harrison, 

 for many years a patron of the Academy and its President 

 in 1904, the Academy of Science of St. Louis has lost one of 

 its oldest and most actively interested members. 



Elected an associate member, February 9, 1857, when the 

 Academy was itself scarcely a year old, Mr. Harrison con- 

 tinued a member to the time of his death. In the early 

 volumes his name appears, again and again, among the 

 donors. Not only did he manifest his interest by gifts to the 

 museum and library, but by many acts of liberality in assist- 

 ing the Academy in the publication of its Transactions. 



In recognitioD of his interest during his active member- 

 ship, Mr. Harrison was unanimously elected a patron of the 

 Academy, November 16, 1896. 



Your committee, to whom was intrusted the framing of 

 suitable resolutions in commemoration of his services to the 

 Academy, feel that we owe to him a debt of gratitude for his 

 many gifts to the museum and library and for the interest he 

 took in all earnest scientific workers.
