*) The manuscript of G. V. Plekhanov's resolution is part of the manuscript of the congress minutes, as indicated by the note on the manuscript: "Plekhanov's Resolution" (pp. 1–3) No. 73", made by someone else, apparently when compiling the congress minutes to indicate the place the resolution should occupy in the text of the minutes.

2) All the following autograph signatures, representing the congress pseudonyms of the "majority" delegates, in the order of their arrangement (in columns) correspond to the signatures given under the resolution in the printed text of the minutes, with the only difference that all the congress pseudonyms in the printed text of the minutes are replaced by others ("Minutes", p. 330).

3) Malkin (Sokolovsky) – Iskra-ite; was a delegate to the II Congress of the R.S.-D.R.P. from the Ekaterinoslav Committee (according to the congress minutes – Orlov); at the congress, he was a member of the "majority" group.

4) Stepanov (Grigoriev) – Social Democrat – Iskra-ite, worker; at the II Congress of the R.S.-D.R.P., he was a delegate from the Tula Committee (according to the congress minutes – Braun); at the congress, he was a member of the Iskra-ites "hard" line group, and after the split, he joined the "majority".

5) The signature of Psari (Topuridze), which is present in the indicated place in the manuscript, – apparently, the very last one, – is absent in the printed text of the minutes and, apparently, was omitted by the protocol commission (mostly Menshevik) consciously and not without the knowledge and consent of Topuridze himself, who after the congress defected to the "minority".

6) This note was made by P. A. Krasikov, who presided during the congress discussion of this resolution.

In the "Collection of Draft Resolutions" of Lenin cited above, there is an initial draft of his resolution on the attitude towards students (above, pp. 465–466). We have already pointed out that Vladimir Ilyich submitted this resolution to the congress, and it was adopted by the congress with the amendment of Makhov (Kalafati) and Trotsky (above, p. 467, note 7). Here we are printing this resolution as it was passed at the congress, from the very original that appeared at the congress and became part of the manuscript of the congress minutes. This text editorially has some minor differences from the text of the original draft in the "Collection" and also differs somewhat from the record in the congress minutes. We stipulate all these text differences in the notes. In addition, the text reproduced here has preserved two editorial amendments by Plekhanov. This text of the resolution was written, or rather, rewritten with small editorial changes, from the original draft from the "Collection," apparently, by the time the resolution was discussed at the 57th meeting of the congress, i.e., around August 25, new style.

I. II. Lenin.
* DRAFT RESOLUTION ON THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS STUDENTS. *)
[August 23, 1903. London.]

The II Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party 1) welcomes the revival of revolutionary initiative among the students, invites all party organizations to provide every assistance to these young people in their aspirations to organize and recommends all 2) groups and circles of students: first, to give priority in 3) their activities to the development among their members of a coherent and consistent revolutionary worldview, a serious acquaintance, on the one hand, with Marxism, **) and on the other hand, with Russian Narodism and Western European opportunism, as the main currents among the contemporary warring progressive trends; second, to beware of those false friends of [the proletariat] of youth who distract it from serious revolutionary education by empty revolutionary or idealistic phraseology and philistine lamentations about the harm and uselessness 3) of sharp polemics between revolutionary and opposition trends, *) At the top of the manuscript, an unknown hand wrote: "Lenin's." Red.
**) Plekhanov crossed out "revolutionary" and wrote "socialist" above. Red.
