desire to strengthen and encourage by
every possible and legitimate means, a
feeling OF close union and good fellow.
ship between the two states in the inter.
ests of whose people we have formed
our association; and
Whereas, We believe that most
potent factor in the accomplishment Of
this end is the work in which we are en-
gagged at our annual assembly in Boul-
der, Colorado, which appeals IN to those
engaged in teaching, as place where
intellectual stimulus may be combined
with recreation; (2) to parents, as pre-.
sentlng an opportunity to maintain, at
small expense, a regular summer home
where their children can have proper
physical and mental exercise, amid
moral and healthful surroundings; (3) to
club societies and other organizations,
as most admirable iende zvous for con-
ferences and annual meetings; and 4)
to all such and to individuals living at a
low altitude and in warm climate, as a
place where the climate is delightful and
where the grandeur and the beauties OF
nature are unsurpassed; and
Whereas, The unparalleled attend
ance of the past two years has clearly
demonstrated that the people appreciate
the efforts OF the Chautauqua manage
ment and, especially, Of the citizens OF
Boulder Who have, at great expense,
purchased, laid out, and beautifed the
Chau,auqua grounds and made such i'm.
provements in the way OF buildings,
water service and other conveniences. as
to make possible great convoca,ion OF
the good people of the two states.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That in order to perma.
nently unite the interests of the tw,
states in the Texas-Colerado Chautau-

moral and physical improvement Of their
citizens, we offer the following induce
