rectOrs cannot but again tender their Geciia,ions TO
the members Of the Society, the prosperous condi-
ton Of its funds and the happy inuence The Society

gotten, that before the organization ofihe Society," dis
orders were unblushingly commiited; and crime was

was undermining and bringing in jeopardy our most
valuable rights, and exposing our properly TO be de-
predased and carried of by the idle and vicious,
who, 1t appeared, were fast increasing among
