38 Thirty-fifth Annual Meeting 
Report of the Committee on Resolutions by Mr. Whish, 
chairman. 
Mr. Meehan has prepared resolutions of regret on those who 
have passed away. I suggest that inasmuch as the late Robert 
Roosevelt was president of the society, more detailed obituary 
notice be prepared of his death, for next year. 
1 would like to offer a resolution in this connection relative 
to the very handsome treatment we have received at the hands of 
the Sportsmen’s Club at Grand Rapids. 
Resolved, that the consideration shown to the American 
Fisheries Society by the people of Grand Rapids, and especially 
by the Board of Trade, whose commodious meeting room was 
placed at our disposal, merits hearty thanks, and that the sec- 
retary convey the hearty appreciation of the society for courtesies 
received. 
Resolved, that thanks be tendered to the Sportsmen’s Club 
for the handsome entertainment given this society. We found 
them to be true gentlemen and we congratulate them on their 
work for the preservation of the fish and game of Michigan. 
It has seemed to me that in view of the very remarkable 
practical work which we have seen of the commission in this 
state, that something should be said expressing the appreciation 
of the society, as shown individually and collectively in its dis- 
cussion of this work. 
Resolved, that the visits paid by the American Fisheries 
Society to the several hatcheries of the Michigan State Fish 
Commission, disclose how advanced and extensive is their work, 
and the society congratulate the commission on its position in 
the front rank of fish culture. 
Resolved, that the heartiest thanks of this society are extend- 
ed to President Joslyn and his associates for their earnest and 
successful efforts in advancing the interests of this society.
