xxxiv RESOLUTIONS 



him, at the Regents' Meeting in Buffalo, I put into his hands 

 some printed information about lake trips, hoping that he 

 would find in a journey on the Great Lakes rest and refresh-

 had opportunity to know with what diligence and taxing of

 and that Regent Moore be requested to make, on behalf of
