supported right and left by the guests of the evening, Dr. Voelcker, 
Professor Buckman, Professor Coleman, and Professor Brown. Among

Kearsey, a member of the committee, was unable to be present, but 
sent a letter expressing his sympathy with the professors, Mr. New¬ 
march and other members of the first council were also present. It was 
wisely determined that the harmony of the meeting should not be dis¬ 
turbed by any wandering from its specific object, which was simply the 
payment of a mark of respect to the retiring professors. 
Grace was said by the Rev. Thomas Maurice.
