" TO THE RIGHT REV. BISHOP MALTBY, D.D.
"The warden, masters, and scholars of the University
of Durham desire, at the first Convocation after your
lordship's resignation of the see of Durham, to express
publicly their sense of the many advantages which they
have derived from your watohfulsuperintendoica and ac-
tive benevolence.

" When your lordship first undertook the administra-
tion of the diocese the University immediately enjoyed
the benefit of your powerful and effective co-operation
in carrying out the intentions of its founders, and obtain.
ing for it the important sanction of the royal charter.
" During the subsequent period of full twenty years,
in which the establishment and management of a new
university have been often accompanied with perplexing
difficulties, you have been always ready to give it the
aid of your matured council and long experience.
" You have also proved your anxiety to promote in
others the sound learning and accurate scholarship for
which you have been yourself distinguished, both by your
private suggestions and your public acts. Among the
latter especial gratitude is due for your liberal benefac-
tions to prizes and scholarships, and lastly for the gener-
ous donation of your valuable library.
"The warden, masters, and scholars of the University
are confident that the feelings entertained by themselves
will hereafter be shared by their successors, and that the
name of Bishop Maltby will ever remain associated with
those of the earliest and most efficient supporters of the
University.

" Given at our House of Convocation this 28th day of
October, 1856."
Graces were then passed for setting the University
seal to certain releases.
