26 TH BASU D U-B ON BULL Lee 
To those of us who knew him closely for so many years, Dr. Strong 
will aiways be remembered as a man of vision and wisdom, a warm 
friend and a scholarly adviser. His knowledge of natural history was 
enormous and covered many fields. He persuaded many of us — your 
Editor included — to participate actively in the work of our local bird 
and conservation societies, and when our enthusiasm flagged, he inspired 
us to keep on with our efforts. To his last years, he took part energetically 
in field trips around the Chicago area. He was interested in each person 
as an individual, giving advice on medical problems just as freely as he 
gave counsel on matters involving conservation, the preservation of wild- 
life, or nature study. Dr. Strong will be deeply missed and warmly re- 
membered.
