 Society, through the President, by Dr. Wm. J. Walker, be hereby 

 accepted, to be appropriated in such manner as may conform to the 

 wishes and suggestions of the donor. 



Resolved, That the Society hereby tender to Dr. Walker their 

 most grateful acknowledgments for this renewed and munificent 

 proof of his interest in their prosperity, and for the occasion and the 

 incentive which it has afforded to other friends of the Society to 

 contribute an equal aggregate amount.

 which will associate his name with the future successes and the 

 whole history of the Society. 



The resolutions were seconded by Rev. Mr. Waterston, 

 and adopted unanimously. 



Prof. Rogers proposed in addition the following resolu-
