The course of study is directed by the Bishop and the Faculty. The theological branches are taught exclusively by the professor of theology, while the more advanced Candidates for Orders assist him in the mere academical branches. As to the Rev. Professor himself, says the Report from which I have already quoted, we have only to refer to the class of seven who were ordained in Ember Week of last Lent. These are living witnesses to his ability as a teacher, and to his soundness in the Faith once delivered to the saints. I have been thus far particular in giving the financial Report of the Mission, and its whole internal arrangements, because those who conduct it desire that its principles should be investigated and submitted to the Church.
Nothing here is done in a corner.
The founders of the Mission assume no authority to themselves in right of their labors. They grasp at no power and assert no control over the disposition of its funds. They feel that they are only the agents of the Church, and amenable to her. They would submit themselves entirely to her voice. It is their intention, as soon as possible, to free themselves from the responsibility of having the property in trust, by procuring a satisfactory act of Incorporation at the next meeting of the Legislature of Wisconsin.
