34 Memorial of George Browji Goode. 



B}' the emplo3'ees of the National Museum: 



Whereas, in the untimely death of Doctor G. Brown Goode the scientific world 

 and the American people have suffered an immeasurable loss — we, his assistants, 

 collaborators, and friends, knew and esteemed him as an investigator of signal hon- 

 esty and ability, as an earnest and efficient administrator whose willing aid and 

 forbearance endeared him to all, as a man of pure motives and stainless life, and as 

 a faithful friend and mentor — therefore, 



Resolved, That in Doctor Goode's death we have lost a leader and companion 

 whose teachings will always be in our minds and whose memory will forever live in 

 our hearts. 



Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the stricken family in this 

 our common sorrow. 



RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE OFFICERS OF THE FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM. 



At a meeting of the director and curators of the Field Columbian 

 Museum, Chicago, Illinois, the following preamble and resohitions were 

 adopted: 



Whereas, We have learned with great sorrow of the death of the distinguished 

 scholar and scientist. Doctor George Brown Goode, Director of the National Museum; 

 be it therefore, in grateful tribute to his memory. 



Resolved, That we recognize, as the world has alread}- recognized, the conspicuous 

 abilities displaA-ed by him in the particular field of science in which he chose to labor, 

 but still more fully we appreciate the fact that in the broader field of museum organ- 

 ization and management, a work which he had reduced to science, he stood without 

 a peer. Not less admirable, as a feature of his career, is the enviable position always 

 held by him as an adviser and helper among his associates, scientific, official, and 

 personal. His strong, helpful hand was ever extended. 



Resolved, That we mourn his loss not only on account of these attainments and 

 qualities, but also as a man of broad sympathies and tender heart, upright cheerful 

 character, and honest, virtuous life. 



Resolved, That our sincere sympathies are hereby extended to the members of his 

 bereaved family in the hour of their affliction, and that a copy of these resolutions 

 be transmitted to them in token thereof.
