RESOLUTIONS. : 49 
The Museum may be regarded as his monument, for it owes to him its or- 
ganization. He brought order out of chaos, and its growth, arrangement, 
and classification are the result of his directing intelligence, and of many 
years of personal toil. 
As he was ever an earnest seeker after truth, truth found in him a noble 
exponent, No one ever gave him his friendship without receiving from him 
the most complete surrender of himself. For a friend, no service was too 
onerous, no sacrifice too great. 
As we take up the work which he has laid down, we shall more and more 
realize what he was to this Society. That we may emulate his perseverance 
and industry, his skill and integrity may rightfully be the measure of our 
ambition as members of the Institute. 
At the Special meeting held October 14, 1890, a quorum 
being present, Mr. Edward Burgess was elected Secretary 
of the Institute, vice James Winne, resigned.
