RESOLUTIONS 
adopted by the 
AUDUBON SOCIETY OF THE STALE OF 
NEW YORK 
At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Audubon 
Society of the State of New York, held at The American Museum of 
Natural History on January 30, 1908, the following resolutions were 
adopted : 
Resolved, That in the death of Morris K. Jesup, the President of 
this Society from its organization in 1897, the Society has lost one 
of its most interested members and the cause of bird protection an 
influential friend. While his many official engagements, largely con- 
nected with philanthropic enterprises, prevented his active participation 
in the work of the Society, his interest in it was often effectively mani- 
fested. By his special desire, the Society was organized “In coéperation 
with The American Museum of Natural History”’ and was made a 
guest of that institution. The interest shown by Mr. Jesup in the 
work of bird protection is but another evidence of his well-known 
interest in all humanitarian and philanthropic work. 
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be transmitted to 
Mr. Jesup’s family and to the Board of Trustees of The American 
Museum of Natural History.
