PROCEEDINGS OF THE ALBANY INSTITUTE. 



[Continued from Transactions Vol. IV.] 



December 2d, 1863. 



The Institute met pursuant to call, the president, Mr. 

 Pruyn, in the chair. Present, twelve members and a few 

 visitors. 



Dr. F. B. Hough was appointed secretary for the evening. 



The president read a letter from Prof. Murray, secretary 

 of the Institute, in which it was stated, that in consequence 

 of removal from the city he was under the necessity of re- 

 signing the office of secretary which he had held for 

 several years. 



Dr. Howard Townsend presented the following resolu- 

 tions, which were unanimously adopted, and ordered to be 

 entered upon the journal of the Institute and a copy to be 

 transmitted to Prof. Murray: 



Resolved, That whilst congratulating Prof. David Murray 

 upon the honor lately conferred upon him in his appoint- 

 ment to a Professorship in Rutgers College, New Jersey, 

 we must at the same time express our regret at the loss 

 with which our Institute meets in his acceptance of his 

 appointment. 



Prof. Murray's services, during the long period he has 

 been connected with the Institute as member and secre- 

 tary, have been of such great value that their cessation 

 must necessarily prove a loss. And in order that Prof. 

 Murray's connection with the Institute should not entirely 

 cease, it is suggested that he now be appointed a corre- 

 sponding member of the Albany Institute.
