The following resolutions were adopted by the Teachers at the close of the Institute: Whereas, The subject of education in this State has until recently suffered from the apathy of many of its friends, while the public generally have neglected to give it that attention which its importance so imperiously demands; and Whereas, The efforts of Teachers have heretofore been made under many discouragements arising from a want of system and co-operation among themselves; therefore Resolved, That we as teachers, look upon the present educational movement as the dawning of a brighter day, and that we shall return to our homes and our labors confident that Michigan will not fail to complete what this noble building and this numerous gathering of teachers testify she has already begun-but that she will provide for the instruction of those who are to train her infant sons and daugh ters as generously as she has already provided for the culture of her sons in her munificently endowed University. Resolved, That we tender our thanks to Hon. F. W. Shearman, and through him to the State, for the gift of his able and instructive report and that we shall not soon forget the interest he has manifested towards us and the encouragement we have received at his hand. Resolved, That the proceedings of this Institute have throughout been ably, efficiently and profitably conducted, and that its design has been fully realized. Resolved, That we tender our thanks to Prof. A. S. Welch for his constant and laborious efforts to render the proceedings of the Institute interresting and profitable, and that we carry with us a high appreciation of his endowments as a man, and hia ability as a teacher. Resolved, That the disinterested services of Prof. Davies justly entitle him to our lasting gratitude and well wishes, and that our respect for him as a man is only equalled by our regard for him as a mathematician. Resolved, That we are under lasting obligations to Drs. Cutter and Andrews, Prof. Douglass, Messrs. Newbery, Strong, Duffield, Walker, Davy, Jackson, Tindell, Irving and Swan, for their valuable services which contributed to render the exercises of the Institute interesting and profitable. Resolved, That the thanks of the Institute are due to the clergymen of Ypsilanti, by whose presence we have been encouraged, and to whom we are indebted for their daily prayers and religious exercises. Resolved, That we acknowledge our great obligations to the citizens of Ypsilanti, "under whose hospitable roofs and around whose fire-sides we have been permitted to gather and enjoy the gratification of sitting under the shadow of these classic walls." At this session of the Institute was formed a STATE TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION, Of the proceedings of which the following is a record: |
