The following resolution was read and adopted: — 



"The Torrey Botanical Club feels keenly the loss to plant 

 science by the death of Professor C. H. Kauffman. Doctor 

 Kauffman's work as a mycologist, a cytologist, and a student 

 of the mycorrhiza is of outstanding significance for the growth 

 of more critical concepts and standards in all these fields. 



As a teacher and leader of research among the younger 

 students of the fungi, his work was stimulating and creative 

 in an unusual degree. The Club desires to put on record its 

 appreciation of Doctor Kauffman's high qualities, both as a 

 man and as a scientist."
