Special Committee in charge of the Custodial Asylum.

EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, HELD AT THE ASYLUM, MAY 5,1883.

On motion of Mr. Wilkinson, Bishop Huntington was called to the chair. After remarks offered by the chairman relative to the death of Dr. Wilbur, a motion was made by Mr. Hiscock that a committee of three trustees be appointed, of which Bishop Huntington should be chairman, to submit resolutions to the board, expressive of the loss to the institution of its superintendent.

The chairman named Mr. Hiscock and Mr. Munroe to act with him as the committee.

Subsequently the committee, through the chairman, submitted the following preamble and resolutions, which, on motion of Mr. Graves, were unanimously adopted and ordered published and spread upon the minutes:

The trustees, meeting immediately after the grave has closed over the mortal part of our late associate, the superintendent of this charity, are oppressed not only with the sense of the great public calamity befalling the institution in his death, but with the sorrow of a personal bereavement. For the first time in its history the asylum is without its wise and strong head, its far-seeing founder, its efficient and judicious administrator, the master of all its multiplied activities and weighty interests. We miss, with heavy mourning, his inspiring presence, his radiant countenance, his uniformly cordial and courteous welcome, his clear and concise reports of his doings and his plans, and the contagious enthusiasm of his spirit in the great enterprise of his life. With all these manifold tokens of his signal power and skill around us on every side, it is not easy to realize that he is dead. Nothing but the Christian faith which constantly guided his own course, and satisfied his heart, can enable us to look with composure on his sudden departure from this scene of his living energies, attachments and successes.

With equal grief and gratitude we recall Doctor Wilbur's singularly beneficent career; the generous dispositions and genial manners of his youth; the early conception in his mind of the form of philanthropy, then scarcely known to the scientific world, which occupied all his after years; the steady growth of that fruitful idea, in clearness and comprehensiveness, till it became the passion and pursuit of his manhood, the man and the cause growing to maturity together; the patient zeal in him that overcame obstacles and waited cheerfully for final victory; the constant enlargement of his views by study, travel, keen observation and careful experiment; the widening, from first to last, of his intellectual vision, both in his distinctive and chosen science and in several related branches of sanitary and social reform; the persuasive appeals and convincing arguments by which he prevailed with the Legislature, with the public and with scholars; the firm hold he kept on the confidence of State officers and changing political administrations; his industry, his tact, his discretion, and the fertility of his resources; the permanent value of his frequent documentary contributions to the improvement of medical knowledge and practical measures of humanity, both in this country and abroad, giving him a more than national reputation; and, crowning perhaps all his other accomplishments and abilities, his inexhaustible devotion to the suffering objects of his care, making every poor, dark-minded, friendless child, every unsightly and dull pupil, not less than every helper or instructor in the establishment, marvelously attractive to his mind and dear to his affections.
