Resolution
The meeting ended with the acceptance of a six point resolution:
- As soon as there were enough Faroese schoolbooks available, Faroese should be used as an educational language in schools.
- In history, the emphasis must be on Faroese national history.
- In religion, all Danish rote learning should be abolished and the subject matter rendered in Faroese.
- Priests must be free to use Faroese in and outside the Church.
- Faroese should be used for all official ends and purposes.
- Finally, the resolution stressed the necessity of establishing a Faroese Folk High School.

Famous quotes containing the word resolution:
“A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Some hours seem not to be occasion for any deed, but for resolves to draw breath in. We do not directly go about the execution of the purpose that thrills us, but shut our doors behind us and ramble with prepared mind, as if the half were already done. Our resolution is taking root or hold on the earth then, as seeds first send a shoot downward which is fed by their own albumen, ere they send one upward to the light.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
