PLA.NOF ENDOWMENT.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, held August 6, 1851, the following plan for the endowment of the College was adopted:
L That the sum of $85,000 be raised in pledges and donations of not less than $100 each.
2. That bonds be taken for ~uch pledges, payable in three equal annual instalments, the first instalment to be made payable when the amount of $60,000 shall have been secured in sums of not less than $100 each, and notice thereof signed by the President and Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the College, shall have been published in two newspapers published in the city of Richmond, Va., and the whole amount of said bonds to bear interest from the same date, with the proviso that the aforesaid sum of $60,000 shall have been secured, and notice thereof duly given, by or on the 1st day of June, 1855.
3. That whereas some of the contributors may prefer to pay their contributions at one payment, and before the completion of the $60,000 subscription, the agents, and the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, or either of them, be authorized and empowered to receive such payments, and to give refunding bonds on behalf of the Board of Trustees, to refund the money thus received, provided the condition relating to securing 360,000 shall fail of being fulfilled, and provided also that application for the refunding of said money shall be made within one year from and after the 1st day of June, 1855.
4. That pledges and donations of amounts less than $100 each be also solicited, to be paid unconditionally, and to be appropriated to the general purposes of the College, or to the endowment fund, at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
5. That such subscriptions or other obligations now belonging to the College, given for endowment or general purposes, as are to be collected, be placed in the hands of the General Agent,
l6 and that he be invested with a discretionary power as to their collection or transfer to the present endowment plan.
6. That whereas at several times the Board has taken action regarding plans of endowment and scholarships, all such plans be rescinded, except in so far as any rights may have already accrued under their operation to the College, or to the contributors to the College, respectively.
7. That the Board of Trustees will faithfully appropriate the principal of all contributions to the endowment to that purpose forever, saving only so much thereof as may be necessarily expended in obtaining and collec\ing the same.
JOHN M. MURRAY, Secretary.
The sum of $85,000 thus proposed to be raised, added to the $15,000 previously secured to the College, is intended to constitute a permanent endowment fund, to be disposed of as the 7th resolution directs. By the first of June, 1852, such had been the success of the agent;, that $60,000 had already been subscribed according to the conditions of the 2nd of the above resolutions, and a considerable portion of that sum has been duly collected and placed in the hands of the Treasurer of the College. Since that time, liberal subscriptions have been obtained, and it is confidently expected, that by the first of June, 1853, the whole amount of $85,000 will have been pledged. The question of endowment may therefore be considered as settled, and the friends of the Institution have cause to congratulate themselves, that the College will thus be placed on a permanent basis.
The question of locality, which has heretofore given rise to some difference of opinion, is shortly to be decided, and it is believed that the Trustees of the College will take measures for the erection of suitable buildings during the present year.
