The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1872-06-03
who are the best graduates Of the colleges.
The last letter he had ever received from DR..

are not able to take a fun college course, but
can yet be greatly benefited by going to the
Seminary. Third. Those who, from what
ever cause, do not go to college at all. He
was ready to help every worthy candidate
who came to the Seminary. ta
DR.. Broadus made one OF his peculiarly
happy speeches, which seemed to carry con-
yiction to all.
General Field moved to strike from the re-
port Its reference TO the indebtedness of the
benefciaries of the college. The obligation
was to pay when they are able, and his OBJ
seryation was that these preachers are not
often able to pay their bonds. If proper, he
would cancel all of these old bonds contracted
by these young men.
DR.. Burrows explained that the Education
| Board was distinct from the authorities of
Richmond College. They only use the col
| lcSe as the institution at which they educate
the ministerial students under their charge.
1t was very difficult question to decide
whether it was best to loan these young men
the means Of going through college or to give
the money gratuitously. The Board had
deemed it best to make loans. DR.. Burrows
urged earnestly the claims of this Board.
Rev. DR.. Tyree moved to strike out from
the report all concerning the contracting of
marriage engagements.
DR.. Burrows explained the necessity OF the
| rule. He did not think it wise for the Board
to undertake to support young men as can
didates for the ministry unless they would
| agree not to contract matrimonial engage
ments during their stay at college.
DR.. Tyrce was opposed to allowing the
Board to resolve itself into an inqusition to
| inquire into these private affairs Of the young
men.
Rev. George F. Adams said that years ago
this same rule existed at the Columbian Col
| leee, and the ministerial students were re-
quired to pledge themselves not to make
marriage engagements while Mt college.
Rev. r. Jones had been required to ab-
stain from marriage four years while in an
other denomination, but considered all this
changed when he became Baptist. He
thought that the same principle would pre-
vent ministers of any age from being mar
ried.-
DR.. Jcter said that he would not be slls-
pected of being an enemy Of matrimony,
but he insisted that young minister who
was to cntangle himself with a marriage en-
gagcment has best not go to college at all.
The question was further discussed in a
very facetious manner by Rev. w. E.
Hatcher, Hon. Il. L. Montague, and Rev.
William Fisher.
Pending the discussion the hour Of ad-
journment arrived.
