ReS0lreH That we regard the recent act to
repeat the charter OF the Delaware otatc Nor
NAL University, dictated by United States
Senator aud passed by the State Lrgl>liIurc,
as severely unjust and cruel to those of our

aud Instructors, as unwiSe, impnlitlr and
entirely unworthy of the supposed wisdom and
appropriate dignity of Legislators
Res0trcd, That we thank the Trustees for so
promptly conterring degrees upon the graduat-
ing class Of 1871 previous to the passing of
said act.
ReSoired That we have never heard any po-
