Though with a trifling lightness of head, caused by a gradual swelling during the past four years, we should not be held ac- countable for such mistakes as appear in the following: First.—We would direct that all our just debts and expenses be paid from their proper funds; our funeral being conducted and its expenses paid for by the Faculty. 14
