RESOLUTIONS 
adopted by the 
PEARY ARCTIC CLUB 
The Peary Arctic Club records the death of Morris K. Jesup, its 
first and only President, at New York, January 22, 1908, with sense of 
profound sorrow and irreparable loss. The world knew and honored 
Mr. Jesup’s career and character ; the Club loved and followed the man 
and the friend. To its councils he brought that exceptional wisdom 
and foresight for which he was renowned, and to its objects he gave 
generous and unstinting support, infused with personal interest and 
appreciation, that made the goal toward which the Club advanced 
ideal, rather than physical. Lasting as will be our recollection of what 
Mr. Jesup did for the Club, our thoughts will dwell most constantly 
upon the nobility of his character, the simplicity and directness of his 
nature, his patience in discharge of duty and his unfaltering faith in 
ultimate and complete success. 
Resolved, That, in respect to the memory of Mr. Jesup, the 
) P' ry P 
vacancy in the office of President continue until the further order 
of the Club. 
Resolved, That an engrossed copy of this minute and resolution 
be sent by the Secretary to Mrs. Jesup.
