The members of the Bureau of Science of 

 the Government of the Philippine Islands 

 have passed the following resolutions: 



Whereas it has pleased Almighty God in His 

 wise and inscrutabje providence to remove from 

 our midst Paul Caspar Freer, M.D., Ph.D., di- 

 rector of the Bureau of Science of the government 

 of the Philippine Islands, since the time of its 

 organization as the Bureau of Government Labo- 

 ratories in the year 1901, dean of the College of 

 Medicine and Surgery, and professor of chemistry, 

 University of the Philippines, and founder and 

 editor-in-chief of the Philippine Journal of Sci-

 be it 



Mesolved, that we, the members of the staff of 

 the Bureau of Science in Manila, Philippine 

 Islands, do hereby express our deepest sorrow and 

 keen feeling of personal loss in the death of 

 Dr. Freer, and be it further 



Hesolved, that he holds a place of highest re- 

 spect, admiration and appreciation both officially 

 and personally in the hearts of all of us, and espe- 

 cially of those who were most intimately associated 

 with him in scientific work, and be it further 



Besolved, that it is the sense of the members of 

 this institution that the Bureau of Science has 

 suffered a very great loss and that the cause of 

 science in these islands has been deprived of one 

 of its most zealous and conscientious advocates, 

 and be it further 



Besolved, that we extend our sincere sympathy 

 and condolence to his widow in her overwhelming 

 grief, to his brother and other relatives, and be it 

 further 



Besolved, that copies of these resolutions be 

 engrossed and sent to the bereaved widow and 

 brother of Dr. Freer, and that they be filed in the 

 archives of the Bureau of Science, transmitted to 

 the Bureau of Civil Service, published in the forth- 

 coming number of each section of the Philippine 

 Journal of Science, in the newspapers of Manila,
