REPORT OF 

 THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 



TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. 



THE Executive Committee respectfully submit the following 

 report to the Board of Managers for the year 1918 : 



It is with regret that the Committee announce the death of 

 Major William Austin Wadsworth, on May 2, 1918. Major 

 Wadsworth represented the Boone and Crockett Club on the 

 Board, which was instrumental in the original organization of 

 the Society. He was, for many years, a most zealous attendant 

 at our meetings and was greatly interested in the welfare and 

 development of the Park. 



The resolution passed on the occasion of his death appears 

 at the end of this report. 



During the year Mr. Percy A. Rockefeller was elected to 

 fill the vacancy in the Class of 1920 caused by the death of the 

 late Grant B. Schley; and 



Mr. Edwin Thorne was elected to the Class of 1920 to fill 

 the vacancy caused by the death of the late Col. William C. 

 Church. 



Mr. Beekman Winthrop was elected to the Class of 1920 to 

 fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Major W. Austin 

 Wadsworth. 



MEMBERS. 



Owing to war conditions, no systematic effort was made 

 during the year to enlarge the membership of the Society. How- 

 ever, in the regular course, 5 Life Members and 80 Annual Mem- 

 bers were elected. After deducting resignations and deaths, the 

 net result is a loss of 27 members.
