Whereas, Almighty God, in his all-wise providence, has seen fit to remove from us by death, Mr. FLETCHER R. DEARMAN, a graduate of this institution and long a faithful member of the Hesperian Literary Society; and, whereas we desire to give expression to the bereavement sustained in the loss of our brother, and to our esteem for his many noble qualities of heart. Therefore, be it
_Resolved_ 1st, That we sincerely sympathize with the bereaved wife in this time of sorrow, and would point her to the consolations offered in the Gospel;
2nd, That we express our sense of loss in the death of Mr. Dearman, a member loyal to the Society, to the College and to the State;
3rd, That our Hall be draped in mourning for thirty days, as a token of our respect for the deceased.
