bc-a library or n nsufe 10 look upon. HIS
suggestion was that no particular line pa'
decided upon, but alter tho tuhds nave
boen raised to hold IL meetlhg OF inc con-
tributors, who should decide now inc
money should be dedicated to Mr.. bayards
name 1t might be dedicated toa library
OF to other purposes for the permanent au'
vancement of young and Old men.
Mr.. Hartman agreed with Mr.. Nande-
grit that it should not bo decided Oh what
the memorial should be- However, he
was not favorable to raising money first
and then deciding what the memorial
should be. People want to know what
they are to contribute for. He thought
the form Of the memorial should DO decl-
ded upon at the next meeting.
Mr.. Bancroft thought a restriction to
simply statue would DO to tie the hands
Of the association in Its efforts to secure
memorial Every person who has talked
to him about the matter, ho said, was OF
the opinion that what Mr. Bayard, II his
wishes could be expressed, would desire,
would be a memorial that would do good
