REMARKS
The Va. Baptist Education Society had under its care a Seminary from the 1st of July, 1832, to the 1st of January, 1843 In the progress of that Institution, its conductors and friends became satisfied of the importance of securing for it an act of incorporation. As, however, the Legislature was known to be decidedly hostile to incorporating religious institutions, the Society determined to designate about forty gentlemen who should procure the passage of an act incorporating themselves under the title of "Richmond College," and to transfer, on certain conditions, the Seminary to their hands. This has been done, and the present is the third year of the operations of the College. As the Trustees are determined to avoid pecuniary embarrassment, they propose to conduct the College classes only so far as their resources may justify, taking care to have the students thoroughly taught as far as they shall go. lt is not their purpose to confer degrees till they shall have afforded facilities for education equal to those of other r.hartered Institutions. As the patronage of the community, and the proceeds of an endowment now being raised, shall increase their means, they will continue to add to their corps of instructors, until they shall have procured a Faculty sufficient to conduct the classes through the ordinary collegiate course. Meanwhile, they appeal to a generous public for enco uragem ent and success. Some of our noblest Institutions have sprung from humble beginnings It is far better to proceed cautiously-to live within our means-and to rise gradually but surely, than by affecting a premature prosperity, to plunge the enterprise into the vortex of ruin.
