Durham, Dec. 12—Upon learning through press dispatches of Mr. Duke’s huge gift to the college, the students of Trinity college had a mass meeting in Craven Memorial hall following chapel exercises and passed a unanimous resolution of gratitude to him. These were forwarded immediately to Charlotte. They were as follows:
“After reading the press dispatches from Charlotte this morning recounting your wonderful gift, the students of Trinity College in a great mass meeting in Craven Memorial hall voted unanimously to convey to you an expression of grateful appreciation for your generosity and to assure you that in your magnificent plan you will have their loyal support in every way possible to see your vision of a great university realized.”
