    The report of the Committee on Bible College was again brought
up which reads as follows-

                   Your Committee to mom was refered so much of
the report of the Regent as concerned the College of the Bible
would respectfully report.

1. Your committee have had nothing to consider but a recommendation
found in the report of President Lard of which the following is a
modification, viz. That no young man preparing for the ministry
shall be considered as a graduate of the Bible College who is not
also a graduate of the College of Arts, or its equivalent in the
opinion of the faculty. This much of Pres. Lard's idea your committee
would heartily endorse, for the age we live in is scientific, critical
and skeptical and the advocates of the Gospel should be prepared to
defend their Lord, whereever, whenever and from whatever standpoint
he may be asailed. This first part was refered to the Ex. Com. &
Faculty.


2. Your Committee would recommend that such instruction rooms and
dormitories as are not needed by the University be tendered to Presi-
dent Graham and his Professors for the use of the students in the bible
College under their charge and a mutual and free interchange of recita-
tions and instructions between said College and College of Arts-said
apartments to be under the supervision and control of the authorities
of Kentucky University- Clause #2 being unanimously adopted.
