/ the Trustees, at unusually full meeting Of the
Z Board, held last week, resolved unanimously.
that they would not entertain for moment any
proposition looking 10 the surrender Of the char

same into any other college Whatever. may
I not give the exact words Of the resolution, but
/ the purport Of it i what | have stated. Reso-
buttons by the Associated Alumni were passed
touching the same matter, equally decided on
their part, deprecatng any change in the orig
lnal plan Of the institution, or any union with
smother by which it should lose it name, char
acter or identity Thus il may be regarded as
settled. SO far as the Trustees and Alumni can
settle it. that Norwich University will continue
Norwich University. Its friends have reason to
be proud Of its record, especially for the past
four years. Many Of its graduate, have distin-
gui-hed themselves As officers in the army, and,
through its influence, our Vermont troops have
stood second TO none. 4 grateful people would
not wish 10 see the name Of such an Institution
bloited out. Its alumni and past cadets will con-
tend earnestly that it shall not be. as they
have contested on the field Of battle
Two professorships were established by the
Board at their recent meeting,-one to be called
the Partridge PTottssorship, in honor Of Capt
Alden Partridge, the hrst President, and the
other the Ransom Profsssorship. in honor ofthe
gallant Col. Truman B. Rransom. who fell in
the Mexican war These professorships will need

the University will make generous contributions
for thepurpose.
