RESOLUTION 
adopted by the 
NEW YORK ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 
In recognition of the great services rendered to Natural Science in 
this city by the late Morris K. Jesup, the New York Academy of 
Sciences adopts the following minute : 
Mr. Jesup has been a member of the Academy since 1893. He 
has been much interested in its welfare, and was foremost in welcoming 
it to The American Museum of Natural History, where its meetings 
have been held since October, 1902, where its library is deposited and 
_ where its present efficiency as a scientific association of broad scope and 
influence has been developed. 
As President of the Board of Trustees of The American Museum 
of Natural History, he has been indefatigable in building up the 
resources and collections of the Museum and in establishing it as one 
of the great institutions of its kind in the world. 
His influence on the development of science in New York has been 
most beneficent: the Academy deeply deplores his loss.
