Rev. G.. Il. Taylor, Of Staunton, was OPP
posed to using any part of the princlpai VI
the endowment to put the college III ope-
ration. Ho would prefer that tiiis AS
ISOLATION should raise, or cause 10 ~
raised the amount required; or that the
trustees should simply borrow portion
of the endowment, to he repaid al iutai'
time. Either of these alternatives ""unl,
in his opinion, be better than eXpehaihs
that endowment which had been taken
with pledge that only the accrulng lhtc-
rest should be spent. He alluded TO 'he
progress that was being made by the Vari,
Gus colleges throughout the State, ana sara

much renewed enthusiasm, and was Will
ING to do all that he considered to be ms
duty.
