The Letter of Resignation.

The text of the letter of the graduate committee on boating to the boat club tendering their resignations, which was made public during the recess through the daily press of Boston, is as follows:

To the secretary of the H. U. B. C. Dear Sir,-In consideration of the apparent want of accord and harmony between the members of the H. U. B. C. and its advisory committee of graduates, we herein enclose our respective resignations as members of such committee.

We do not wish to shirk any responsibility, or to get rid of any duty belonging to this office. We have never sought this position, and do not now seek or desire it. We accepted it simply from a sense of duty and a willingness to help on the interests of our old club We have always been ready to give you our advice, whenever asked, and to assist you in every way within our power. We regret that our efforts have not been better appreciated, or received more in the spirit in which as we consider, they should have been We now retire because we do not wish to be any obstacle to your conducting your affairs in whatever manner you may think best, and also because we believe that our future continuance in office would be distasteful to a large majority of your number.

We assure you that, individually, we shall always be most happy to assist you in every way we possibly may. With best wishes for your welfare, we remain, very truly yours.
