The Winnebago County Archeological and Historical Society 
extended a cordial invitation to the members of the Wisconsin 
Academy and the Wisconsin Archeological Society to attend its 
field meeting at Oshkosh on June 8 and 9, 1923. 
The following resolution was presented: 
Whereas there are in the State of Wisconsin a considerable number of in¬ 
teresting caves, and 
Whereas some of these, of notable size and beauty, containing stalactites 
and other interesting geological formations as well as Indian pictographs and 
petrographs of scenic and historical interest to the general public and to tour¬ 
ists, are being mutilated and otherwise defaced by thoughtless persons, 
Be it resolved that the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters 
and the Wisconsin Archeological Society, in joint meeting assembled at 
Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin, on this sixth day of April, 1923, greatly 
deplore the neglect into which these scenic monuments have fallen and the 
continuance of such destructive practices and depredations and urge upon the 
owners of these caves that they in every way protect them against further 
mutilations and misuse, and upon the State of Wisconsin itself to take such 
measures as shall make such vandalism an offense against its laws.
