The Ridgway Memorial 
T THE meeting of the American Ornithologists’ Union in New 
York City, in November, 1925, Dr. Frank M. Chapman presented 
the idea of making Bird Haven a wild life refuge as a memorial to Mr. 
Ridgway. The project was endorsed by the American Ornithologists’ 
Union at this meeting, and a committee authorized to consist of a 
representative from the American Ornithologists’ Union, one from the 
Wilson Ornithological Club, and one from the Cooper Ornithological 
Club of California. 
These two other organizations later also gave their approval. The 
committee formed to take charge of the project consists of Dr. Harry 
C. Oberholser, Chairman, representing the American Ornithologists’ 
Union; Mr. Percival B. Coffin, of Chicago, representing the Wilson Or- 
nithological Club; and Mr. Harry Harris, of Eagle Rock, California, 
representing the Cooper Ornithological Club.
