aff1iction through which both of them
have been called to pass.

their sufferings and sorrows and our deep
regret that we are deprived of the bene-
fit of their presence and wise councils in
dealing with the important matters
which now claim our attention.
Since the call was issued for this meet
of the sudden death of one of the oldest
members of our board The long, faith
full and unselfish services of the Hon. John
j. Perry, both as trustee and as treasur-
er OF the institution are remembered both
gratefully and pleasantly, and in his
death we feel that we have lost sincere
friend whose place on our board it will
be difficult to fill. We shall long cherish
in our hearts the most affectionate and
tender recollections of our long and
intimate acquaintance with him and we
do sincerely sympathize with his sorrow
ing family in the deep affection which
his death has laid upon them.
