As the tidiugs come TO us Of the death Of

Of a century has been identified with the
interests Of Richmond College, who I'm the
critical period Of its history was its most
conspicuous labOrer and succe ssful repre-
sentative before the public; who as pres
ident Of the education board was at all
times and I'm all places an earnest and
eloquent advocate OF ministerial education,
ana whose resignation, when he left the
soil Of Virginia, the board refused 10 ac-
cept, we eXclaim. in the language of the
Hebrew king over the fail OF his great
captain: Know We not that prince and
a great man is fallen this day in Israeli
and as it is fitting that some record
should be made of the sentiments Of this
board:
Resolved. l. That in the death Of Or. J.
L. Burrows, trustee Richmond College

ablest counsellors, whose eminent services
and lifelong devotion must be ever prom
inent in the history OF the college.
,. That page in our records be dedi-
Gated to the memory Of this good and
great man, who in green old age died in
the harness Of the Christian ministry. in
such way as the secretary may deem suit
able.
g. That we attend the funeral Of our
INDUSTRIOUS friend and bTothe. SIS a body.
l. That copy Of these resolutions be
sent the son OF the deceased DR.. Bur
rows. of Augusta, Ga.
