MISCELLANEA. 363 
On the motion of Mr. Wilkinson, seconded by Mr. Mayer, it was then resolved 
that j£ 100 be placed at the disposal of the Secretary. 
The Secretary, in behalf of Mr. Ernes, who was absent, proposed a return to 
the original plan of signing the diplomas, as explained by him at the last meeting. 
Mr. A. Cherry seconded the motion. 
Professor Spooner said he saw no objection to the proposal, provided the 
diplomas were signed by the respective examiners, and delivered by the Chairman 
of the Board to the parties entitled to them. 
The Secretary assented to Professor Spooner’s proposed addition to the motion. 
Professor Simonds expressed a doubt as to the legality of a diploma signed by 
the President, before the insertion of the name of the successful candidate. 
Mr. Wilkinson objected to the motion upon similar grounds. 
The motion was then put and carried. 
Professor Morton moved “That a Committee be appointed to consider the 
desirability of obtaining some memorial of the past Presidents of the College.” 
He thought it very desirable that either busts or portraits of those gentlemen 
should be obtained, so that the semblances of those may be handed down to 
posterity by whom the interests of the College had been promoted. 
Mr. Mayer seconded the motion. 
Mr. A. Cherry said he should be glad privately to co-operate in the furtherance 
of the object, but thought it was not one for the Council to entertain. 
After a short conversation upon the subject, the motion was passed, nem. con. 
and the following Committee appointed:—Messrs. Field, Spooner, Wilkinson, 
Simonds, Mayer, Baker, Yarnell, Gabriel, and Morton; Professors Simonds and 
Morton, with Mr. Gabriel, being nominated by the President as a Committee of 
revision, the proceedings terminated.
