TO THE EDITOR OF THE NATION:

Sir: The students of this University have adopted the enclosed resolutions, which I hope you will bring to the attention of the college men.

Very respectfully, GEORGE T. WINSTON. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA.

CHAPEL HILL, N. C., Nov. 21, 1892."The students of the University of North Carolina, as a slight token of their appreciation of the character and services of a man who deliberately surrendered the Presidency in order to instruct the people in correct principles of government and especially of taxation - who in short preferred to teach the people rather than rule them - do hereby resolve to send ten delegates to the second inauguration of Grover Cleveland, and do earnestly request all the colleges and universities of the United States to unit +++ grand student demonstration in honor of our great political teacher."
