The Game Preservation Committee 



mittee recommended, and the Executive Commit- 

 tee passed, the following resolution : 



Resolved, That the President be, and he hereby is, 

 authorized and empowered to appoint a committee 

 with full power to raise an endowment fund, and also 

 a special fund from or through the members of the 

 Club ; such special fund and interest from the endow- 

 ment fund to be expended by the Game Preservation 

 Committee in the preservation of the wild life of 

 America, and under such restrictions as the Execu- 

 tive Committee may from time to time impose. 



This resolution was passed, and a Finance Com- 

 mittee was appointed, of which Dr. Lewis Ruther- 

 furd Morris was Chairman. Some months later 

 Dr. Morris resigned, and Henry G. Gray, the 

 present Secretary of the Club, was appointed in 

 his place. Through the energy of the Finance 

 Committee funds have been raised to render effec- 

 tive the work of the Game Preservation Com- 

 mittee. 



The Game Preservation Committee's report for 

 the year 1911 recommended the laying out of a 

 comprehensive plan of national game refuges, and 

 with this in view, it worked with other game pro- 

 tective associations, and especially with the Biolog- 

 ical Survey, from which it received a memorandum 

 on the preservation of North American game,
