Prof.  Remington,  on  behalf  of  the  delegation  to  attend  the  convention  of  teach- 
ing colleges,  reported  that  no  definite  action  was  taken  relative  to  the  subjects 
which  had  been  proposed  by  the  meeting  at  Atlanta  last  year,  in  consequence  of 
some  of  the  colleges  not  being  ready  to  act.

had  sent  the  College,  by  Express,  the  silver  medal  which  had  been  awarded  by  the 
International  Jury  of  the  Universal  Exposition  of  1878,  held  at  Paris,  for  their 
exhibit.  Accompanying  the  letter  was  a  certificate  from  the  officers  of  the  exhibi- 
tion announcing  that  the  jury  had  decreed  the  medal.

properly  framed  and  exposed  to  view  in  the  museum  of  the  College,  and  that  the 
medal,  when  received,  be  properly  taken  care  of,  which  motion  was  adopted.
