 Resolutions.

The following resolution has been psssed by the student body of Howard college. thanking the people of Jeffer- son county for their generous response to the request for money to erect the new dormllory:
 Whereas, Howard college has for a number of years had an average attend ance of 150 students, these students will spend an average of s225 each per year at college. It is seen that this will amount to about $35,000. This amount rep resents an investment of s6000 at 6 per cent interest. It can be safely said that the money from this investment is ex- pended in Birmingham each scholastic year. In consideration Of these facts be 1t
 Resolved, That we, the students of Howard college, in body assembled, ex- press our high appreciation of the assist arce given by the friends of Howard col- lege in supporting our president, Dr. A. F. Montague, in his efforts to build a new dormitory, which is so much needed, and that we ask the cooperation and assist ance of friends and business firms of Birmingham in this undertaking, and that we shall in the future show our appre- citation of this assistance by giving our influence and business to such friends and firms.
