Prof Kicker having recontly annouHced tie
resignation of his PriucipaAhip-ss be is pro-
posing to remove to the South. hoping that
change of climate may prove beneficial to him
self and family-the following resolutions we're
offered at Close OF the exercises and after re-
marks from several gentlemen were unani-
mously adopted by a rising vote Of the entire
audience:
Resolred, That we have learned with sincere
regret that Prof. G. H. Kicker and Miss III. G..
Kicker, have finally decided to listen to the in
vitations they have received from the near and
also Iemot5 parts OF the country, and u dig
Eolye their four years connection with Frye-
burg Academy, although invited by the Board
oil trustees TO remain another year.
ResolCed, That while Prof Ricker's reputs-
tion IS an instructor has been well earned and
nrmiy establishei BY his long lsrgice in cch( d
and college eewhere-5o long, that during the
last and former terms he has had under his
charge the csildren of his early pupils-and
while Mi, Kicker has not only secured the rt.
spect of her pupils for her tolid acquirement,
aud varied accomplishments, but al-o their
love By her precept and example-we wish u
add our testimony that the quality of their
united instruction has not t3en excelled dur
ing the ninety-one years of this Academys his
tory.
Resotced, That as Trustees Of the Academy
aud as citizens Of the town, We commend Prof.
Kicker and his entire family for theiricultiva-
ton, refinement and practical exemplification
OF love TO God and love to man = any commu-
nifty In which they may hereafter reside.
At the annual meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees OF this institution, the proposition of Bow
doin College TO select Fryeburg Academy as
its special Fitting Scbeol'' for the Western
part of Maine was accepted, and it will be rat
flied BY the college boards this week. Students
preparing FOR college at this 4cadenay soiH be
examined here for admission and thus saUe the
troable and e1penSe OF ojourney to Brunsacick
Nothing but a lack of enterprise and courage
will prevent the full endowment of this school
as well as the two others which have been
chYsen-Tbe Gle scal School at Hallowell for
the central part of the State, and Washington
Academy st Machias foi the entire "Down
East" From these institutions the college
will gradually receive supply of men, which
it needs now more than money, and thus be
enabled as formerly to maintain its position as
the leading college OF Maine--a place which
otherwise it is in great danger of losing.
