WILLIAM MORRISON.
Gentlemen of the Board of Curators OF Cen
trail Female College:
Death has invaded our ranks. for the
second time, since our last annual meet
ing, and by his last stroke he has smitten
down our honored president, William
Morrison, who departed this life at his
residence, in this city, on the fourth day
of May, 1894, in the seventy-seyenth
year of his age.
Thus has passed from labor Ia rest
n refresllment M of the friends and
founders of our college. and who. from
its organization. had filled the position
of president of the board of curators.
lie was always present at the meetings
of the board, ready and willing, by his
sound judgment and experience, and
especially by the giving OF his time and
of his means to make the college Il
success in accomplishing the end and
aim for which it was established,
namely T~heeducating of the daughters
of the church in schools and colleges
managed and controlled by ON own
loved church.
II may be truthfnlly said that mainly
through his fidelity and liberality our
college was enabled 10 weather the
storms that so often threatened her
existence, and now enjoys the degree of
prosperity she does.
Brother Morrison always had un-
wayering faith in the perpetuity and
ultimate prosperity of our institution
and hence he was ever ready. by word
and deed. by his labor and by his means.
to render the aid which is so essential in
the upbuilding and maintaining of all
human enterprises. In the darkest
hours of the history of our college he
was never heard To say or TO intimate
failure. IL was always labor on, trust
on. hope on and pray on, and our God
will yet bring us ont into n large place.
We shall miss his genial presence at
u board meetings. Ills conservative
wisdom and trustful advice will he
lacking i'm M counsels, and the college,
in common with the church and the
community, will feel the loss of this
good man in many ways.
We a and must, without complain
ing, bow in submission 10 the wise
beheSt of our Heavenly Father, and
pray that he may raise up another 10
take Brother Morrison 3 place, and wear
the mantle SO gracefully worn by him
for so many years therefore.
Resolved, That we will cherish the
memory of William Morrison. our late
president, 10y emulating his virtues. and
by eXalting his good deeds.
Resolved, That in his life and fidelity
to principle, and To high and worthy
diuis, u Soouiy tAdihplc HIS Deen SET lof
imitation, and that III his death ouI
college has lost a true friend and bene-
factor; we, of this board OF c~urators, a
genial companion and brother; the
church IN humble and devout yet un-
obtrusiyel member, and the community
an upright, honorable, enterprising and
charitable citizen.
Resolved. That this memorin snd
these resolutions be spread IN
