MEMORIAL TO DIR. HYDE.
Resolutions Adopted by the Trustees
of Oahu College.

The following resolution was adopted
al a meeting of the trustees of Oahu
College, held Monday, October 16, 1885,
Whereas, the Rev. DR.. Charles NJ,
Hyde has, after months of suffering,
been taken away from the scene of
his earthly activities, and thereby
oahu College has been deprived of an
able and efficient trustee, therefore it
is
Resolved, that the trustees of Oahu
College hereby express their deep and
heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved
family, whose greater loss is shared
in a lesser degree only, by this entire
community.
In his death all good causes have
lost an efficient and conscientious help
err His talents and rare executive
capacity We're ever and freely at the
service of educational religious and
social progress. His kindly voice and
helping hand never failed when others
needed a calm faith in God, a clear and
discriminating judgment to untangle
the intricate web which often made
living a WEAKNESS.
Oahu College has lost one of it's
most faithful and willing servants.
His aid and advice will be painfully
missed in the important developments
of the near future. But his example
and the memory of his long and kind
ly service will not be lost.

MEMORANDA.

The last of the transports that have
been here for several days left this
morning, the Rio and Sikh both getting
away. The latter took on coal all night.
The departures of transports gave
much room along the waterfront for
other shipping, the wharves being
cleaner than they have been for some
time this morning.
