This is a printed, stapled transcription of a resolution and memorial meeting held in honor of Admiral Robert Edwin Peary on March 12, 1920 at the Explorers Club in New York City. It contains transcribed remarks by Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the club's presiding president on that date, as well as those of Albert Operti, Robert A. Bartlett, and Herbert L.
