The junior class held a meeting last night in Lower Massachusetts to take action upon the death of Seymour Howell. The following resolutions which had been prepared by a committee appointed for the purpose consisting of David Gray, T. G. Bremer, and H. R. Allen, were read and unanimously adopted; and the class secretary was instructed to send a copy of them to the family:
Resolutions.
In behalf of the class of Ninety-two, moved with a deep and sincere sorrow by the death of Seymour Howell, who for more than two years filled an hour arable and familiar place in our life, we wish publicly to express, as far as possible by words, some sense of our appreciation of his worth and manly qualities and of our deep regret for his loss.
It is our sad duty to attempt to communicate to those upon whom the blow of his death has fallen with even greater weight than upon us, his fellows, some idea of the deep sympathy which we have for them in their sudden and overwhelming trouble.
Although we recognize the formality and coldness of such expressions, it is our desire to utilize this, our last opportunity of publicly honoring his memory, by making known the height of the esteem in which we held him. We knew him intimately; and the warmth of our regard for him ever heightened as the length of our acquaintance with him increased. The end of this acquaintance has come and we recognize that our loss is irreparable.
NEAL RANTOUL, President. DAVID GRAY. THEODORE G. BREMER. HORACE R. ALLEN, JR. Committee for the Junior Class.
