The Executive Committee of the Board of Managers of the New 

 York Zoological Society desire to express the esteem in which thcv 

 hold the memory of their late colleague 



ilfllin ICambrrt (EaJiiualaJirr 



one of the Founders of the Society and of the New York Zoological 

 Park. 



With his close friend, Philip Schuyler, Mr. Cadwalader stood 

 l)y the Society in the early days of its formation between 1895-1898, 

 when it had neither j)lans, friends, nor influence. He was one of the 

 original Board and faithfully gave all the meetings of the Executive 

 Conuiiittee between 1895 and 190;2 his unrivaled counsel and advice, 

 and the prestige of his great reputation at the bar. He carefully 

 examined all the successive legal steps by which secure foundations 

 were established for the future administration of the Society and 

 the Park. 



As in all other causes for the public welfare in our City and 

 Country he gave freely of his valuable time and most generously 

 of his fortune. He loved the Park as it develoi)ed and was a fre- 

 quent and delighted visitor. In our meetings we shall always miss 

 his serious, genial and often humorous presence as well as "the de- 

 lightful hospitality of his home. 



This tribute and memorial would be incomplete without a record 

 of his formal service to the Society; an original member of the 

 Board of Managers, elected May 7, 1895; a member of the Execu- 

 tive Committee from May 21, 1895, until January 21, 1902; Vice- 

 President from January 21, 1902, until his death; a member of the 

 Board of Managers until his death; elected Associate Founder dur- 

 ing 1897; Founder, December 14, 1900; Founder in Perpetuity, 

 December 6, 1910. 



During his life he contributed nearly $12,000 to the development 

 of the Park, and on his decease he gave further evidence of his 

 interest in the bequest of $20,000, so that his name will be perma- 

 nently enrolled as one of the Benefactors of the Society. May his 

 example as a citizen and patriot inspire many men of the rising- 

 generation to render similar service to the City, the State and the 

 Country.
