ful to deprive, either temporarily or permanently, said College of
the endowment of the income of the fund aforesaid. The Visit-

act as part of its charter. A copy of said resolution, and of the
action of the Trustees of Transylvania University, and the Cura-
tors of the Kentucky University, in accepting said consolidation,
shall be laid before the Governor; whereupon he shall, by writing,
signed by him, and under the seal of the State, authorize the Cu-
rators of the Kentucky University to organize the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Kentucky in pursuance of this act.
