the Chapel, it is very evident that, during the twelve years

In conclusion, the undersigned would recommend
the passage of the following votes _ to wit: _

That it is inexpedient to place the statues of Gov^r
Winthrop, James Otis & John Adams in the Chapel

to carry the suggestions contained in this report regarding
the Statues into effect, in such manner as they may
deem expedient.

All of which is respectfully submitted

intended for the Chapel whenever they shall have been
completed & delivered to the Corporation. _

Mr Curtis presented the following memorial respecting
the Story Statue Fund, signed by a majority in value of
