Your committee on resolutions present the following report : 
lie solved, First — That we express to the Faculty of Grinnell

in this war till the spirit of democracy shall prevail, and all the

for the people, and by the people. 
Fourth — That we endorse the recent action of the legislature 
in passing laws to protect quail and prairie chicken for a period 
of five years, and in providing for the establishment of a Board

bers of the legislature who fathered these acts and secured their 
passage. John L. Tilton,
