40 THE A UND UB ONS Bag ieee 
Here is an opportunity for the bird-lovers and other nature lovers of 
America to repay their debt to Robert Ridgway. Let us see to it that 
his sacrifices to science and his interest in creating and maintaining 
Bird Haven have not been in vain. 
Thirty-five thousand dollars will furnish an income sufficient to 
provide permanently for the care and upkeep of Bird Haven. The 
First National Bank of Olney, Illinois, is the depository for this fund. 
The administration of the fund is vested in the Ridgway Bird Haven 
Association, incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois, and 
controlled by a board of five trustees, who will likewise care for the 
needs of the Sanctuary. These trustees are: 
Dr. Frank M. CHAPMAN, 
Curator of Birds, American Museum of Natural History, New York. 
Dr. T. GILBERT PEARSON, 
President, National Association of Audubon Societies, New York. 
Mr. Harry Harris, 
Ornithologist and Conservationist, Eagle Rock, Calif. 
Mr. O. M. ScHAntz, 
President, Ilinois Audubon Society, Chicago, III. 
Mr. FRANK BRASSIE, 
Secretary, Bird Haven Biologists’ Field Club, Olney, III. 
The General Committee for raising the fund consists of: 
Dr. Harry C. OBERHOLSER, 2805 18th St. N.W., Washington, D. C., 
Chairman. 
Mr. Percivat B. Corrin, 39 South La Salle St., Chicago, Ill. 
Mr. Harry Harris, Box 123, Eagle Rock, Calif. 
Contributions to this fund are deductible in Federal income tax 
returns, since the purposes are wholly educational and scientific.
