WHERAS, The Board of Regents propose to remove E. S. Carr, the 

 Professor of Agriculture, assigning therefor no adequate reason ; 

 therefore, 



Resolved, ist. That we hereby respectfully remonstrate against the 

 removal of Professor Carr, because we firmly believe that he is fully 

 competent for the position he now occupies, and has the entire confi- 

 dence of the people of the State. 



2d. That we are opposed to the appointment of any lecturers on 

 agriculture, because it would be a misappropriation of the funds set 

 apart for the exclusive benefit and practical development of the me- 

 chanical and agricultural departments of the University, and of no 

 material benefit to the State. 



3d. That we demand, in the name of the farmers and mechanics of 

 the State, that the agricultural and mechanical departments of the 

 University shall be fully recognized, and each receive as much money 

 and as much attention as the College of Letters. 



4th. That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions be fur- 

 nished to Regent Hamilton, with a request that he present the same 

 to the Board of Regents at their next meeting. 



The preamble and resolutions were then signed by the committee, 

 as follows: W. H. Baxter, J. G. Gardner and J. D. Blancher, of the 

 State Grange ; A. M Winn, G. B. Merriam and J. W. Duncan, of 

 the Mechanics' State Council, and E. D. Sawyer, C. C. Terrill and M. 

 J. Donovan, of the Mechanics' Deliberative Assembly. 



Then the Joint Committee adjourned to meet again at the call of 

 the Chairman. 



\V. H. BAXTER, Chairman. 



A. M. WINN, Secretary.
