In Memoriam: Albert Kenrick Fisher

January 1, 1951

Dr. Albert Kenrick Fisher, a Founder and Past President of the American Ornithologists' Union and one of its best known Fellows for nearly 65 years, died in Washington, D. C. on June 12, 1948, after a brief illness from circulatory complications that developed as a result of advanced age.

With his passing, the American Ornithologists' Union has lost one of its last links with that eminent group of bird students who founded this organization in the autumn of 1883.
