A stated meeting of the board of overseers of Harvard College was held yesterday forenoon at the office of the treasurer, President E. Rockwood Hoar occupying the chair. It was voted to concur with the president and fellows in the appointment of Frank Gaylord Cook, A. B., as proctor, and of Josiah Royce, Ph. D., as assistant professor of philosophy for five years, from Sept. 1, 1885. Rev. A. P. Peabody, D. D., presented the report of the committee to which was referred the petition of the students for changes of the rules regarding attendance at college prayers, with the following resolution: "That it is inexpedient to grant the petition of sundry undergraduates of Harvard College for the repeal of the rules now requiring attendance on daily prayers," and the resolution was adopted. It was voted that the report of the committee be printed. The resignation of Hon. William C. Endicott was presented to the board. Adjourned to April 15.
