RESOLUTIONS 



On the Death of Professor M. V. Slingerland. 



Mark Vernon Slingerland, naturalist, economic entomologist, 

 Fellow of this Society, died at his home in Ithaca, N. Y., March 

 II, 1909. His death is a serious loss to the world of natural 

 science. As a student, his career was marked by earnestness, 

 courage and industry. As a teacher he was direct and forceful. 

 As an investigator he was conscientious, unbiased, persevering 

 and accurate, and his authority and leadership as an economic 

 entomologist received unquestioned recognition. 



His memory is cherished as that of a man whose life, though 

 short, stands as a notable example of one who gave his years 

 unselfishly and devotedly to the discovery of useful truths in the 

 realm of natural history in their relation to the economy of plant 

 and animal life. We, his colleagues, give expression to our 

 sorrow in the loss of a friend and fellow worker.
