RESOLUTIONS 
adopted by the 
AMERICAN ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY 
Whereas, The American Ethnological Society has suffered a 
severe loss by the death of Morris K. Jesup, its Honorary President, 
its former President, and one of the honored members; and 
Whereas, Through his wide sympathies and active cooperation, 
he has advanced the well-being of his fellow-citizens and the interest of 
science and art, and has placed the science of anthropology under 
lasting obligations by his generous support of the anthropological work 
of The American Museum of Natural History, by his maintenance of 
researches bearing upon anthropological problems and by enlisting the 
interest of others in similar work; and 
Whereas, He organized and maintained, partly alone, partly in 
cooperation with his friends, researches in Mexico, Central and South 
America; among the Indians of our Western States; on the Pacific 
coasts of America and Asia, and in Siberia and southeastern Asia, and 
gave liberally to these enterprises, not only of his wealth but also of his 
wide experience and wise counsel: therefore be it 
Resolved, That the American Ethnological Society wishes to 
express the sense of the great loss it has sustained by the death of one 
whose services to the science of anthropology will long live in the 
records of the researches that were undertaken at his instance ; 
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the 
family of the deceased.
