Gentlemen
         I am here this morning at the request of a Telegram
from Regent Bowman pursuant to a late correspondence with him
asking to be released from the last half of my donation of
$500 to the Kentucky University-
     I made said donation of *500. to Ky. University - when in
prosperity and have paid $250- I do not now feel able to pay the
balance and very respectfully submit the matter to you with the
following statements.
1. I made said subscription while assisting Regent Bowman in
canvassing the city of Louisville on condition of ability to pay
at the time it was due.
2. My present financial embarrassment and the claims of a large
and dependent family render me wholly unqualified to meet your
demand. Feeling confident that you will deal kindly with me and
under the pressure of hard circumstances release me- I remain
yours
     Re spec tfully
                 W. F. Miller.

       stituted for his amendment in relation to the Bible College.
            Whereas it is of the highest importance that the Bible College
bof    be enlarged into means and sphere of usefulness and
)sti-       Whereas its present endowment even including the aid which it
       is possible to be furnished from other funds of the University are
       inadequate- Therefore Resolved -That measures be immediately in-
Ly     augurated and vigorously presented for the complete endowment of
       said College and that in concession to the wishes of the Christian
       Brotherhood of Kentucky we proffer to them the privilege of nom-
