Committee. 



•Mr. J. D. Putnam presented the following resolutions, and moved their 

 adoption : 



Resolved, That, while the proposition from the Trustees of Griswold Col- 

 lege to erect the Academy building on the Cathedral Block, is supported by 

 many inducements and oflfers great advantages, yet as the location proposed is 

 less central and accessible than that so generously donated by Mrs. Newcomb, 

 and, moreover, as the offer is accompanied with conditions and restrictions 

 inconsistent with the free action, and independent existence of the Academy, 

 it is therefore most respectfully declined. 



Mesohed, That the thanks of the Academy be extended to the Trustees of the 

 College for the recognition of the educational value of our society, which is 

 implied in their friendly offer. 



BesolvGd, That we extend to the Trustees of Griswold College our congrat- 

 ulations upon the proposed revival of that institution, and tender to them the 

 free use of our museum and library for the benefit of its faculty and students. 



After discussion, the resolutions were unanimously adopted. 



On motion of Dr. Cochran, the following resolution was also adopted : 



Resolved, That the free use of the museum and library connected with the 

 Academy be granted to the pul)lic schools and all other educational institu- 

 tions of our city, and that, under proper regulations for their preservation, 

 they be allowed the use of such specimens as may be needed to illustrate stud- 

 ies in natural science. ,
