RESOLUTIONS. 



Whereas, It has been pleasing to the ruler of men's destinies to per- 

 mit the alumni of the Michigan Agricultural College to meet again 

 among these pleasant shades and noble temples of learning, the haunts 

 of our pleasantest recollections, and the home of our affections, we do 

 now most humbly express our thanks to Almiglity God for his fostering 

 care and preservation, and we do record our earnest prayer that He may 

 ever lead the several members of our association and of the faculty of 

 this institution into broader and better fields of life and experience, 

 and that He may continue to lead, as he has always done, our alma 

 mater vanguard of all these institutions which are, this day, solving the 

 problem of American civil liberty and personal equality'. 



Inasmuch as we have been made young again, as it were, by this our 

 visit to the dear old campus, to the class rooms and halls, and have 

 been highly pleased and instructed by the exercises of this association; 

 therefore be it 



Resolved, That we extend our sincere thanks to our president, his- 

 torian, orator, and necrologist, for the pleasure they have afforded us 

 by their splendid addresses and papers; be it also 



" Resolved by this association, That we extend our thanks to the State 

 Board of Agriculture and the faculty for the many courtesies shown us 

 at the time of this meeting, and w^e wash further to commend the faculty 

 and State Board for the wise changes made in the courses of study, 

 and at the same time to make special mention of the excellent advan- 

 tages provided for ladies at this College, all which it seems to your 

 committee to have been warranted by the recent advancements in edu- 

 cational ideals and demands.
