MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES OF TIE UNIVERSITY
\ meeting of the Trustees of the University was
held in the Executive Office on Friday last present.
His Excelcncy Gov. Ellis, President Of the Board,
and Messrs Bryan, Bragg Manly, Courts, Ruffn,
Hinton, Barringcr, and Holden.
On motion, the President of the Board was au-
thorzed to appoint a committee of twelve members
Of the Board to invite the President of the United
States to visit the State and be present at the next
Commencement at the University-the Governor to
be member of the committee, making thirteen
Also, to invite the Hon. Jacob Thompson and other
friends of the President, who may be disposed to
visit the University at the time mentioned
1t is confidently hoped that the President will
find it convenient to accept the invitation.
The Board also carefully considered the charter of
the Bank Of North Carolina, and on motion of
Judge Ruffin unanimously instructed Mr.. Manly,
the Secretary and Treasurer, to subscribe behalf
Of the University one hundred thousand dollars in
the stock of said Bank. The Board seemed to en-
terrain the opinion that the right is reserved in the
charter to the Trustees to subscribe as much as
two hundred thousand dollars, and that individual
subscriptions cannot affect this right thus reserved;
but it was thought best to subscribe but one hun
dred thousand at this time. The further and final
subscription will be considered and determined on
at future meeting of the Beard.
Gov Swain was prevented by indispensable duties
at the University FROM: attending the meeting. We
are glad to hear that his health has much improved
and that he is gradually recovering his strength
