of no creed, and will endeavor, in strict conformity with the   _,
requirements of its organic law, to afford equal advantages to  _ 3
all, exclusive advantages to none. The liberality of the Com- A <
monwealth in supplementing the inadequate annual income  id 1

bonds will, it is believed, enable the Trustees to begin and , 1
‘ _ carry on, upon a scale commensurate with the wants of our   ,
people, the operations of the Institution whose management l  
and oversight have been committed to them by the General if 1
X Assembly of Kentucky. I
