they reverently pause in the midst Of their
deliberations this evening to offer the follow
ing simple but earnest resolutions Of respect
to his memory:
Resolved, That the University Club Of Sa-
vannah deeply deplores the death Of the la
mented Henry Freeman. His connection
with this club dated from the time of its or
4I,s.
that related to its welfare ceased only with
his death.
Possessed of great moral and intellectual
strength. he commanded the admiration Of
men by his high integrity ard strict atten-
ton to duty. The splendid attributes of his
character guided him at an early age into
career Of great honor and usefulness.
There was somethin singularly pathetic in
the passing away of this noble young life, and
only those who knew him well can fully appre-
ciate the great loss which this club has sus-
tanned in his death.
Resolved, That the University Club of Sa-
vannah tender to the family of the deceased
the expression of its most profound sympa-
thy. 1t cannot cast away the great shadow
which has fallen across their path, but it
hopes that He who tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb" Will tighten the load Of their
great sorrow.
Resolved, That a page on the minutes Of
this club be set apart for the inscription Of
this memorial and that copy Of these reso-
lutions be communicated to the family.
Col. Screyen announced that in view of
the fact of Mr.. Stoval's illness, Mr.. Kol-
lock had consented TO read a paper before
the club, which he did. His subject was
trigonometric surveys, comparing the
methods used in Canada with those in
the south. The paper was highly appre-
ciated, and on motion of Mr.. S. B. Ad-
ans the unanimous thanks of the club
were rendered Mr.. KollOck.
The club then adjourned to the banquet
board around which the members sat
ami chatted until late hour. One of the
pleasant features was some remarks
about the DahlOnega branch of the uni
versity by Major w S. Basinger, for
mer president of the institution, and an
alumnus of the state university. Major
Basinger was formerly resident of Sa-
vannah and will be in the city for several
