Committee on Elections. 



ASSOCIATION OFFICERS RESIGN 



Mr. Charles Lathrop Pack, who has been President of 

 the American Forestry Association for seven years and 

 a director for thirteen years, has tendered his resigna- 

 tion. He becomes president of the American Nature 

 Association. Dr. Henry S. Drinker, who was president 

 of the Association for three years and a director for 

 ten years, and Mr. Charles F. Quincy, who has been a 

 director for twelve years, have also resigned. 



Mr. Percival Sheldon Ridsdale, who for twelve years 

 has been Executive Secretary of the Association and 

 editor of American Forestry, leaves to become 

 managing editor of Nature Magazine and manager of the 

 American Nature Association, 



In acting upon these resignations the Board of Di- 

 rectors appointed a committee to express appreciation of 

 the services of these officers. The committee adopted the 

 following resolutions : Resolutions of the Board of Di- 

 rectors, pursuant to announced withdrawal of President 

 Pack, Secretary-Editor Ridsdale and Directors Drinker 

 and Quincy from the work of the Association. 



Whereas, President Charles Lathrop Pack has ex- 

 pressed his wish not to be a candidate for the coming 

 Annual Meeting in January: 



Be it therefore Resolved, That the Directors of the 

 American Forestry Association take this occasion to ex- 

 press their deepest appreciation of Mr. Pack's eminent 

 services in building up the Association from a small, 

 almost defunct organization to a membership of over 

 fourteen thousand. During the period of his incumbency 

 a great advance has been made in educating the country 

 to the need and the meaning of forestry. Mr. Pack's 

 efiforts have contributed in a very large measure to the 

 present wide interest in forestry on the part of the pub- 

 lic. The results of his work will be of increasing im- 

 portance from year to year. His retirement is a great 

 loss to the Association. That he will continue his interest 



in forestry directly and in a parallel field means still 

 further service to the country. The Directors extend to 

 him their grateful thanks for what he has done and their 

 cordial good wishes for the future. 



Whereas, Directors Henry S. Drinker and Charles F. 

 Quincy have signified their unwillingness to serve 

 further as Directors of the American Forestry Associa- 

 tion : 



Be it therefore Resolved, That the Board of Directors 

 regard their resignations as a great loss to the cause of 

 American forestry. They have given freely of their 

 valuable time and ability in the work of the organization 

 over a considerable period and their wise counsel and 

 experienced judgment will be greatly missed in the 

 future. It is the sincere wish that the Association will 

 continue to have the benefit of their advice and co-opera- 

 tion in the future. 



Whereas, Percival Sheldon Ridsdale, Secretary and 

 Editor of the Association, has offered his resignation to 

 take effect on December i : 



Be it therefore Resolved, By the Directors of the 

 American Forestry Association that his resignation is 

 accepted with great reluctance. Largely through his 

 efforts the Association has attained an eminent position 

 ir. educating the American public to the necessity and 

 importance of practicing forestry in our rapidly vanish- 

 ing forests. We wish to take this occasion to thank him 

 most heartily for his services and to wish him the best 

 of success in any further ventures.
