Dr. Strong Honored 
By Mrs. ANNE DOUGLAS BAYLESS 
Dr. R. M. STRONG, PAST PRESIDENT and now honorary president of the 
Illinois Audubon Society, was named one of “Chicago’s 100 outstanding 
citizens” by the Society of Jesus last December. The selection and honoring 
of the group was the climax of a celebration of the Jesuits’ 100th anni- 
ver-ary in Chicago. 
More than 9,000 persons submitted nominations for the citations, said 
Charles F. Murphy, chairman of the observance. Chosen for “distinguished 
achievements and for contributions to their city,” the group was picked by 
a jury of prominent persons. Dr. Strong was identified as “now retired .. . 
former professor and chairman of anatomy of the Stritch School of Medicine 
of Loyola University, a fellow of the American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science, and Chairman of the Conservation Council of Chicago.” 
Dr. Strong also is a fellow of the American Ornithologists’ Union, a found- 
ing member and former president of the Wilson Ornithological Society, and 
founder of the Chicago Ornithological Society. 
The citations were presented by Samuel Cardinal Stritch, archbishop of 
Chicago, at a dinner attended by 1,600 leaders of Chicago’s civic, profes- 
sional, and business life, held in the Palmer House, Chicago, on Dec, 12, 1957.

Chicago Area Field Trips 
THE SOCIETY’S OFFICE at the Chicago Natural History Museum often re- 
ceives calls from beginning nature students that would like to go on spon- 
sored field trips in this area. While the I. A. S. conducts trips only in 
connection with its annual meetings and camp-outs, we do have an active 
affiliate, the Chicago Ornithological Society, which schedules well-attended 
field trips all through the year. Probably the most popular of these is the 
noted “Warbler Day” at Waukegan, where individual bird lists of 100 species 
and over are common. Here is the schedule for the next two months: 
Eggers Woods and Torrence Ave., Sunday, May 4. Meet 9:00 a.m. at Eggers 
Woods field house. Featured species: sandpipers, warblers. 
Waukegan Area: Sunday, May 18. Meeting place to be announced later. 
Indiana Dunes: Sunday, June 1. Meet 9:45 a.m. at Tremont Station, South 
Shore Line. 
Saganashkee Slough to Parker Road: Sunday, June 15. Meet 9:00 a.m. at 
dam on Willow Springs Road north of Route 83. Chats, orioles, Bell’s vireo.

nounced later.
