cation today OF a decision by the faculty

tenn are inadequate TO do away with the
evils which have existed I'm the college,
and,
Whereas. more radical alterations have
been represented by the conferres and the
societies to be impracticable;
Resolved, that. in the opinion of the
faculty. the exigencies OF the case make
the termination OF the existence of the
present organizations inevitable.
Resolved. that prompt action on the
part of the societies themselves looking
toward such termination will best pave
the way for a reorganization of the whole
society system, In the interests OF the
college,
Resolved, that this resolution be COM
municated to each OF three societies.
