RESOLVED,. That  in the passing of Mr» Monroe, we feel that the Agri- | 

cultural College and the agricultural interests of the State in all their varied  j 

forms, and the cause of democracy  and simple, upright living,  have lost a strong  | 

advocate and an exemplifier  of good citizenship,.  Familiar from boyhood with the •  j <
