COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS

The Committee on Resolutions then proposed the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted:

1. This Association tenders to the College its thanks for its hospitality which by its abundance and quality serves to make these meetings both informative and inspiring.

2. We recognize both the necessity and the difficulty of limiting the number of students admitted to the College and we approve and indorse the method of selection adopted by the Administration.

3. The secretary is requested to express to two of its senior members, Mr. Samuel H. Jackman of the class of 1860 and Major E. D. Redington of the class of 1861, our hearty appreciation of the greetings yesterday received from them and our hopes for their continued interest and many years of usefulness.

4. We witness with great satisfaction the erection of the magnificent new library and we request the secretary to express to Mr. George F. Baker, the donor, our confidence that this great gift will become to this institution both a dynamo and a generator of the intellectual life of the College.

5. We assure our several classes that the management of the athletic affairs of the College is in hands, both graduate and undergraduate, that are actuated by ideals as high as those that govern in the management of other college interests, and that may be trusted with the fullest confidence of the alumni in working out such experiments as look to the improvement of intercollegiate athletic relations and to the extending more widely among the student body the benefits of athletics.

6. We record our gratification at the dignity, the beauty and the adequacy of the new presidential mansion made possible by the continued generosity of our honored alumnus, Edward Tuck, and at the unique uses to which it is put by its occupant in elevating the social life of the College. And through our secretary we extend to Mr. Tuck our cordial greetings and our gratitude for this wise and characteristic bene- faction.

7., At every previous meeting of this organization unless Dr. Tucker has been present a message of love and honor has been sent to him. Since he has now passed beyond the reach of such a message we extend to his family our assurance that he still lives in our memory and that we again pay our tribute to him. Without repeating or attempting to add to them we adopt and make our own those happy characterizations of his abundant life that have been uttered so completely and so graciously by others, but no less genuinely than we now echo them.

8. Since our last meeting has passed away one of our number, vividly identified with the earliest college recollections of every class of the seventies, eighties, nineties and down to recent years, Professor John K. Lord of the class of 1868. His long and intensely active service to the College as instructor, as sometime acting president, and as trustee, his keen and penetrating mind, his lively interest in and prompt recognition of every returning alumnus, as well as his positive participation in the recent deliberat ions of this Association, made his personality a distinct asset to the College and led us all to count the meeting with him as one of the features of this meeting to which we looked forward with pleasure.

The only other matter to come before the meeting was a statement by Ralph Sanborn 17 expressing disapproval of the custom of bringing wives to Commencement prior to the Twenty-fifth Reunion of any class.

The formal sessions of the annual meeting concluded at this point although many of the secretaries stayed until Sunday to enjoy the various activities taking place during the weekend in Hanover.

In the evening thirty-four secretaries gathered at Mel Adams Cabin for supper prepared by the Cabin Committee of the Outing Club and to listen to. one of Dr. Griggs' characteristic and entertaining talks on hunting experiences in New Brunswick.
