Resolutions by The Civic League Whereas the Civic League of Saluda has learned that the ex ercises of Saluda Seminary will be discontinued it would put it self on record as appreciating the work of the principal and faculty of this school and its influence for good, not only in ourtownbut as affecting other homes during the last forty-five years. Where as the Civic League as a . repre sentative body of Saluda, feels . the benefit conferred on our town and the students entrusted to Sa luda Seminary. Beit therefore resolved that we express by these resolutions the sincere re gret we experience in the loss to our community through the clos ing of this school. Resolved that as the Civic League stands for, all that.benefits Saluda, espe ciaUyralit educa- tiona1. standard it extends its en dorsement to the summer as sembly inaugurated by the Con gregational association, and be lieve that these meetings will benefit our community and add to its attractiveness1 for summer visitors.
