William Francis Austin.

Whereas it has pleased an inscrutable Providence to take from among us our beloved and honored classmate, William Francis Austin, Resolved, That words cannot express the deep grief we feel at his untimely death.

Resolved, That in him we have lost a classmate whose frank and generous nature endeared him to all who knew him and whose manly principles and acknowledged ability gave promise of a useful and honorable life.

Resolved, That not only his numerous intimate friends and admirers, but we as a class do join in mourning his loss.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of our deceased classmate as a token of our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in their great bereavement.
