 KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY.




 WHEREAS, an Institution of learning, known and called by
 the name of Bacon College, was founded by certain members of
 the body of the "Disciples of Christ," denominated Christians,
 and was chartered by the Legislature of Kentucky in the year
 1836; and whereas, said Institution, after a series of unsuccess-
 ful efforts for its permanent endowment and establishment, sus-
 pended its regular collegiate operation; and whereas, in view
 of the educational wants of the said body of Christians in Ken-
 tucky, and of their wishes for the permanent success of said
 Institution, known and expressed at various times, a plan for
 its full endowment and re-organization has been presented and
 prosecuted by Jno. B. Bowman, of Mercer county, Ky., which
 has resulted thus far in the raising of 150,000 of Endowment
 Fund; and whereas, it is desired to establish a first-class Uni-
 versity upon a more modern, American and Christian basis,
 and to carry out such design, it is necessary to amend and
 extend the provisions of the Charter of said Institution;
 therefore:
 SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Common-
 wealth of Kentucky, That said Institution known and called by
