resolutions upon the death of Professor Ely re-
ported as follows:
Whereas: by the death of Professor Achsah Mount
Ely Vassar College has lost a valued and efficient
friend, who for many years both as alumna and of-
ficer has been devoted to the interests of the Col-
lege and has worked for its advancement with zeal,
enthusiasm and large-minded generosity, and who
has represented to a pre-eminent degree among the
college graduates the spirit of ambition and pro-
ductive helpfulness that has characterized their
activity:
Therefore, be it resolved: that the Faculty hereby
express its deep sense of loss and its sympathy
with the family in its bereavement.
