      Ordered on motion of Mivr. Boswell that proportinate
additional compensation be allowed to Mr. J. R. Johnson if

      Judge Holt submitted the followingi


      Whereas Prof. Jas. G. 'W;Ihite has resigned the office of
Business Agent of the A. and M. College to take effect at
a future date, which position he has held for about ten
years and ever since the college has had such an officer,
therefore be it

      Resolved by its Board of Trustees that they bear
willing testimony to his ability, honesty, and integrity as
such officer; to his patience and painstaking accuracy, his
scirupulous and conscienceous diligence; and to his increasing
fidelity to the important trusts committed to his charge. We
bear willing and cheerful testimony to the fact that during
those ten years hundreds of thousands of dollars have passed
through his hands for every cent of which he has faithfully
accounted.

      We desire to place this testimony upon record as
evidencing the high regard we have for this honorable and
faithful official whose relation to the college is without
stain and without reproach and is a record of which any mai
an  any institution may well be proud.
