The committee appointed to prepare resolutions on the 
death of the Academy’s late president, Mr. Edwin Harrison, 
recommended the following :— 
With the death on May 13, 1905, of Mr. Edwin Harrison, 
for many years a patron of the Academy and its President 
in 1904, the Academy of Science of St. Louis has lost one of 
its oldest and most actively interested members. 
Elected an associate member, February 9, 1857, when the 
Academy was itself scarcely a year old, Mr. Harrison con- 
tinued a member to the time of his death. In the early 
volumes his name appears, again and again, among the 
donors. Not only did he manifest his interest by gifts to the 
museum and library, but by many acts of liberality in assist- . 
ing the Academy in the publication of its Transactions. 
In recognition of his interest during his active member- 
ship, Mr. Harrison was unanimously elected a patron of the 
Academy, November 16, 1896. 
Your committee, to whom was intrusted the framing of 
suitable resolutions in commemoration of his services to the 
Academy, feel that we owe to him a debt of gratitude for his. 
many gifts to the museum and library and for the interest he 
took in all earnest scientific workers.
