Resolved: That Miss Caroline Coventry Haynes be and is 
hereby appointed a Committee to solicit and receive contributions 
to a fund to become the property of the Torrey Botanical Club 
and to be a permanent memorial of the late Lucien Marcus

The application of Miss Jean Broadhurst for a grant from the 
Esther Herrman Fund was laid over, pending a more exact 
statement of the amount of money desired.
