Ky. Uv. deserve the thanks of the Brotherhood throughout the
West for the faithful manner in which they have labored in
the cause of Education since their connection with our In.
stitution & especially during the distracted scones of the
past two years.

and rank of Ky. University in the State & in the Church must
depend upon the solid attainments & thorough  culture of its
Students, rather than upon the number that may crowd its Halls;
& therefore while a largo patronage is not of itself objec-
tionable, nor a small attendance at this time discouraging, yet
this Board, representing the sentiment of the Brotherhood are
fully persuaded that any energy of the Board of Curators &
Faculty should be directed to accomplish, in the most thorough
manner, & accxrd~ag tp9 tse 40ghest standards pf Collegiate
instruction, every student who may be found qualified for ad-
aission. On motion these resolutions were ordered to be printed
& published.

     Whereas at a meeting of the Board of Ky. University and

unanimously resolved that in the contingency of the Property of
the United States in Harrodsburg being secured by the friends of
the Institution and the sum of 50000+ be raised for that property
and its improvement, that then Ky. University shall be consid-
ered permanently located in Harrodeburgs
And whereas the donors of the University in Mercer Co. did sub-
scribe about that amount, but have failed as yet to secure said
property
A             by said action of the Board & Donors by this sub-
sequeut failure to purchase, the question of permanent location
is made an open ones
     Therefore Rstolved II That a Committee of five be appointed
to inquire in reference to the advantages and disadvantages of
each of the various points which maybe suggested as a permanent
location for the Institution, and to prepare a full report
thereof in writing.
Resolved II; That said Committee be required to ascertain and
report in what manner said Institution can be legally removed
elsewhere, if removed at all.
