     The Con. on Relief of Treasurer reported that Bro.
Bowman has already performed an ant. of labor for Institu-
tion which claims the highest lasting gratitude of all its
friends & that his present labors & responsibilities are
greater than we feel at liberty to exact. In order to give
his the desired relief we recommend that offices of Gen'l
Agent & Treasurer should be separated and that some other
members of the Board should be elected to fill the latter
office.
          Report adopted.
Bro. Wassonts excuse for absence was reported and recieved.
On notion the Board resolved to confer the degrees as re-
commended by the Pres. of the Institution in his Report.
     On motion Judge Graves and others present were invited to
sit in our meeting & take part in our deliberation.
     The following Preambles & Resolutions were adopted.
Whereas by the action of the Board at a former meeting the
question of the permanent location of the University was
decided to be and open question and so declared to its Donors
and friends abroad.

     On motion of John B. Bowman, resolved, that a full meet-
ing of the donors in person or by proxy and of the Curators
of the Institution be called to meet on the Second Tuesday in
August next, for the purpose of deciding upon a permanent
location for Kentucky University.
     On notion, the foregoing resolution was reconsidered and
it was amended by inserting the words 'the Tuesday after the
Third Monday in September next " instead of the date mentioned
in the resolution.
     The Committee on Course of study through their chairman
Jno. Aug. Williams made the following report which was adopted
by the Board.
    (1) That they have looked through the present Course of
study in the University and find it important in the following
respects.
     a. The Bible is not a regular Text Book for all the Classes
in the Institution.
     b. The              as a whole is too extensive, and the
Text work on many subjects too voluminous for Compotion within
the time allowed.
     c. The departments of Nat. Science, Belles Lettres, and
Biblican Literature are more especially & seriously affected by
these imperfections.
     (2) In order to remedy as far as practicable these evils, the
Committee respectfully suggests.
     a. That a daily recitation in the Scriptures be required
of all the students in the Institution.
