West for the faithful manner in which they have labored in
the cause of Education since their connection with our In.
stitution & especially during the distracted scones of the
past two years.

and rank of Ky. University in the State & in the Church must
depend upon the solid attainments & thorough  culture of its
Students, rather than upon the number that may crowd its Halls;
& therefore while a largo patronage is not of itself objec-
tionable, nor a small attendance at this time discouraging, yet
this Board, representing the sentiment of the Brotherhood are
fully persuaded that any energy of the Board of Curators &
Faculty should be directed to accomplish, in the most thorough
manner, & accxrd~ag tp9 tse 40ghest standards pf Collegiate
instruction, every student who may be found qualified for ad-
aission. On motion these resolutions were ordered to be printed
& published.

the Institution and the sum of 50000+ be raised for that property
and its improvement, that then Ky. University shall be consid-
ered permanently located in Harrodeburgs
And whereas the donors of the University in Mercer Co. did sub-
scribe about that amount, but have failed as yet to secure said
property
A             by said action of the Board & Donors by this sub-
sequeut failure to purchase, the question of permanent location

to inquire in reference to the advantages and disadvantages of
each of the various points which maybe suggested as a permanent
location for the Institution, and to prepare a full report
thereof in writing.
Resolved II; That said Committee be required to ascertain and
