Resolutions Eulogistio of the Revered and Distinguished President Dwight End of the Current Academic Year Minute in Reference to Professor Brush Also Adopted-Other Business.
 At an adjourned meeting of the Yale corporation, held yesterday the resig- nation of President Dwight was accept ed by the adoption of the following re- port of committee appointed on Mo- vember 17
 The committee to which the presi- dents letter of resignation was referred by the corporation respectfully reports, recommending the adoption of the fol- lowing preamble and resolutions:
 Whereas, at meeting of the corpor- alton held November F. 1898, the re- vered and distinguished president of the university, in written communication, laid before it the resignation of his of flee, to take effect at the end of the CuIIGHL dCduGIllC yedi, III VIEW OA tiA~ fact that he had reached the age of seventy years and had long set for him. self that limit to his administration;
 And Whereas, urgent representations on the part of the corporation and of it's committee have failed to persuade him to postpone, as the fellows would unanimously desire, the date at which he proposed that his resignation should take effect;
 Therefore, Resolved: That the corpor- ation, in deference to President Dwights matured decision and the req sons for it existing in his own mind, reluctantly accepts his resignation in accordance with it's terms,
 Resolved, further: That in the judg- ment of the corporation, the admins tration of President Dwight has abundantly vindicated the wisdom of those who, twelve and half years ago, at a critical moment in the history of this institution, called him to undertake it, and it will be a memorable period of that history in all future time. Enter ing upon his office just as the transition from college to university became an accomplished fact, he has guided the development of the new conditions and relations with courage, skill, patience and resolution. During this eventful period, the endowments entrusted to the corporation have more than doubled in amount; new buildings have been erect ed of more than two millions of dollars in value; the annual income of the cor poration for all purposes has increased more than one hundred and fifty per cent; the number of officers and in structors has increased very nearly 125 per cent, and the number of students in all departments nearly 135 per cent. Nor do these figures more than propor tionately indicate the advances which have been made in all directions.
 In the progress thus exhibited, the personal character and personal ser vice of President Dwight have been a most significant factor, and with note- worthy disinterestedness and devotion he himself has given to the university considerably more than $100000, or more than twice the amount of the remuner- ation to which his office was entitled.
 The members of the corporation, in this retrospect, mindful with all of the many years in which Dr. Dwight was a dligent, a scholarly and a sympa- thetic instructor, and of the grateful remembrance in which he is held by his students, find it difficult adequately to express their appreciation of his ef- forts in behalf of the various depart ments of the university or their per- sonal regard for him. They desire, however, to place upon their records, and to give to the alumni and the pub lie at least this testimony to what he has accomplished, in justice to them selves, to the several faculties, and to the general feeling of the city and the commonwealth, in the midst of which he has lived and wrought great pub lie service with eminent integrity, fidel- ity and success. Into the well-earned retirement which he has chosen there will follow him the heartfelt wish of them all that his remaining days may be tranquil, that his life may be pro- longed, that he may richly enjoy every possible recompense of an honored and a useful career.
 The following minute was also adopt ed in reference to the resignation of Professor Brush:
 This body receives and accepts, with profound regret, the resignation of Fro lessor George J. Brush as director of the Sheffield Scientific school In So doing, however it desires to put on record it's regard for him as a scholar, as a teacher, and as a man, and fur thermore it's appreciation of the great work which he has accomplished dur ing his long term of service. From the date of his induction into his professor ship in 1855 he has given himself up, with untiring energy, to the cause of education in this institution, and has brought to it's service both scientific and business qualifications of the highest order It is to his unWearied and un- selfish efforts that the department of the university of which he has been the head owes largely it's development and prosperity. The success that has crowned his efforts is as visible to all as it is gratifying to us, and must be toshim: for it is seldom the case that it is permitted to any one to witness dur ing his own lifetime results so conspic- uous, of ability, energy, and unswerv- ing devotion to a high ideal. The Sci entific school which owes so much to him for its present flourishing condi- ton. is a monument of his labors that speaks more strongly than can any words of ours; yet we should feel that
