Marcus Underwood 



The Torrey Botanical Club 



At a memorial meeting of the Torrey Botanical Club, held at 

 the museum of the New York Botanical Garden, January 29, 1908, 

 the following minute was adopted : 



In the death of Lucien Marcus Underwood American botany 

 has lost one of its foremost representatives ; one who was excep- 

 tionally free from prejudice and selfishness and who abhorred all 

 superficiality and obsequiousness. The Torrey Botanical Club 

 has lost a faithful officer and a zealous and enthusiastic supporter 

 of all its activities and interests. 



We desire to pay tribute to his superior qualifications and 

 attainments as a man of science, and to express our profound 

 sorrow as we attempt to realize that we shall no more feel the 

 warm clasp of his hand, meet the glance of his sympathetic eye, 

 or hear his cheering words of counsel and encouragement. 



The Torrey Botanical Club hereby directs that this minute be 

 entered in its proceedings and duly published with them.
