MARCUS PERRIN KNOWLTON 



In the death of their honored associate, Marcus P. 

 Knowlton, the Directors of the City Library Associa- 

 tion share with the community and with the entire 

 Commonwealth a sense of enduring loss. 



For the past sixteen years Judge Knowlton has been 

 a member of this Board. He was always a firm be- 

 liever in the importance and wide usefulness of the 

 City Library Association, and declared that no other 

 institution in the city touched the lives of so many 

 of its people. He was of unfailing help in the counsels 

 of the directorate, faithful in attendance, strong yet 

 ever considerate, clear-seeing and just. 



In recording the loss sustained by this institution, 

 the Directors feel also deep personal sorrow and sincere 

 sympathy with the members of his family. 



Adopted by the Board of Directors, May 29, 1918,
