Resolutions AT this our first meeting, we, the Ninety-seven Index Board, having consulted all previous Indexes, and desiring to publish a book that shall cover us with undying glory, and feeling that, amid the great diversity ' of knowledge and opinions of our various members, we need some line of action to direct our wandering thoughts, make the following reso- lutions : — Resolved That the Ninety-six Index was good in its way. Resolved That all members of the Board keep away from South Deer- field and Hamp until after the book is published. Resolved That in return for much paternal advice and general infor- mation received from Mr. Sellew during our Freshman year, we give him a free ad in the Index (see Ads, page 52). Resolved Since Mr, Kramer has specially requested that he be not called Baron Von Wooden-Head, that his request be complied with. Resolved That the names of all students who ask the Board not to roast them be published under the head of Free Blows (see page 146). Resolved That in recognition of the long and efficient services of the janitor, he be made an honorary member of the Faculty, and be hereafter known as Prof. Thomas Canavan, A. P. iV., Department of Slopology and Swipology.
