At the Adjourned Meeting of the Board of Trustees of The 

 American Museum of Natural History, held February 8, 1906, 

 the following Minute was adopted: 



The Trustees desire to record their sense of loss in the 

 death of 



JOHN H. WENSER 



for so many years the faithful Secretary and Assistant Treas- 

 urer of the Museum. 



Mr. Winser was appointed to his office in 1892, and for 

 fourteen years served the Board of Trustees and the officers of 

 the staff of the Museum with the greatest fidelity. He was 

 invariably accurate in all his accounts and records, absolutely 

 trustworthy in all matters of administration, devoted to the 

 best interests of the Museum, giving its interests his very con- 

 stant thought and attention, and extremely courteous and 

 kindly in his manner. When acting under the direction of the 

 President or other members of the Board he could always be 

 depended upon to faithfully represent their wishes and instruc- 

 tions. During all the long years of his service he never failed 

 to do his duty to the best of his ability. His genial and kindly 

 presence will be greatly missed at the Museum.
