tana college was negatived with a
large majority in yesterday after
moons session of the Augustana

the several conferences, that said
congregations collect and preserve
all historical matter concerning
them, in order that in the future
complete collection of historical sta
tistics concerning them may be
made. DR.. S. p. A. Lindahl here
offered another resolution to the
effect that the synod empower DR..
j. A. Enander to solicit funds with
which to erect . handsome fre-proof
archive on Zion Hill near the college.
This resolution was q happy one,
and was promptly passed, Is Was
also that presented by Enander.
