Wheildon, and on motion of the Rev. Mr. Slafter was referred to the Board of Directors with full authority to take such measures as they should think expedient. At a special meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 8th of October, on motion of the Hon. Thomas C. Amory, the following resolution was passed: - Whereas, The centennial commemoration of the organization of the government under the Constitution of Massachusetts has been referred to this Board by the Society, Resolved, That, in our judgment, some observance of the 25th of the present month would be appropriate in memory of this important event, which took place on the twenty-fifth day of October, 1780.
