hearts and in our councils. But we shall cherish his memory as 

 one of those whom we shall hope to meet and greet again, 



"When the sins and the sorrows of time shall be o'er, 

 Its pangs and its partings remembered no more." 

 These resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. 

 Similar resolutions pertaining to the late Dr. Lugger were pre- 

 sented by Mr. J. T. Grimes and similarly adopted : 



RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORY OF PROF. OTTO LUGGER. 



Whereas, It becomes our solemn and painful duty to record the 

 death of our brother, friend and co-worker, Professor Otto Lugger, 

 of the Department of Entomology and Botany in the College of Ag- 

 riculture of the University of Minnesota, which occurred May 21, 

 1901, in the 57th year of his age — revered, honored, loved and re- 

 spected by all. 



And whereas. In the loss of Dr. Lugger this society is deprived 

 of one of its most valuable aids in defining the habits of both insect 

 and plant life, so as to distinguish our friends from our enemies in 

 nature ; and the bulletins which he issued from time to time on those 

 subjects are regarded everywhere as of undoubted authority. 



And whereas, His name has become a household word in many 

 of our homes. • Though unassuming and retiring in disposition, his 

 manner was most genial and cordial. A man of profound learning 

 in the science of his profession, he was ever ready to impart that 

 knowledge which he had acquired to those around him. How much 

 this society, as well as the state at large, owes to his labors, can never 

 be fully known. 



Therefore, Be it Resolved, That we bow in humble submission 

 to the Divine Will, believing that our loss is but his gain, and that 

 he has only been removed to a higher sphere of usefulness ; and while 

 we cherish his memory, let us also try to emulate his virtues. 



Resolved, That we will ever hold in remembrance his patient 

 work and perseverence in the research and development of useful 

 knowledge, and that his zeal will stimulate our efforts to perform our 

 duties in our several callings with like honesty, fidelity and truth. 



And finally, Resolved, That our secretary be instructed to for- 

 ward to his bereaved family, in this their hour of deep affliction, our 

 warmest sympathy, together with a copy of these resolutions. 



It was also voted that copies of the above resolutions be pre- 

 sented to the respective families of the deceased. 



Wyman Elliot, on behalf of the executive board, presented the 

 name of A. K. Bush, of Dover, as worthy an honorary life member- 

 ship in the society on account of the faithful work he had done in its 

 interests, and moved that this honor be conferred. The motion was 

 unanimously carried. 



J. M. Underwood had a few words to say about the new hor- 

 ticultural quarters at the state fair grounds. A new building cost- 

 ing $25,000 that is to accommodate both horticulture and agriculture
