Book Description

Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Opening of Madison College, Uniontown, Pa: September 1, 1851 Upon the opening of the college, under new auspices, it may not be uninteresting, particularly _to those concerned, who live at a distance, to refer briefly to some of the more important provisions of the chartered rights of this Institu tion, which I regard as most liberal. The 3d article of'the charter not only secures the. Perpetuity of the Institution to the Trustees therein named, and to their successors, but also gives to them, for its use, all lands, goods or moneys given to it by will or otherwise, allowing them to invest the same in such manner as they may deem most beneficial for the col lege. The 5th article empowers the Trustees to appoint Professors, fix their salaries, and remove them for miscon duct, &c.; in short, to do all things necessary to promote the interests of the college.
