nation OF President Woods, Of Bow.loin College:
Ths morning the graduating class made the Gus

bers Of the Faculty. PRESIDENT Mode rooa~sA .se.s,
kindly, and conplimented them for their conduct
While connected with the College. He mentioned the
institution of Ivy Day. the prosecution of the course
OF lectures during the winter, and The new painting
IN the Chapel, as evidences of the public enterrisc
which they had manifestci. Ticy parted from him
with the kindest wishes, and, judging from the past
he felt assured that happy future was in store for

In alluson to his resignation the President remark
Ell that he consulted his wish for leigurc to engage in
those pursuits to Which he had always been cliucl.
but which his official duties had prevented him from
attending to. He also consulted the interest Of the

the sincerity of his opinions prevented Lin from
changing them he deemed it best to retire. After re-
cciving the thanks of the President for their call their
