Tho next public move was made during the ses-
zion Of the Maryland Synod, held in llagsrstown,
In October. 1919, when = resolution was passed
that synod proceed to raise $50 600 for the cree
tion Of a seminary within the bounds Of the synod
committee Of nine was appointed to carry into
effect this resolution. Some conflicting local In
tcrcsts caused n Misunderstanding among the
members Of this committee which finally resulted
in the establishment of the lIagerstown Female
Seminary. In the meantime tho members Of said
committee from baltimore and vicinity, were not
idle and after examining various sites. including
the farm Of Edward Rider, at Riders Switch. and
that now owned by Mr.. IIiscr. west Of Jones'
Falls, they finally. early in ISL, purchased from
the agent 81 Mrs. Hrico her farm containing one
hundred and seventy four acres. They subse-
qucntly bought from John Burton q tract Of seven

building and Dr. Morris cottage now stand, in
Guiding the fine large spring. Upon this farm the
beautiful village Of Luthcrvillo now stands. But

Lu,hcrvillc Seminary had no corporate existence
but that Drs. Hurts and Morris, who were the
active members Of tho committee. had purchased
the farm and taken all preliminary steps upon
their own responsibility. Moro anon.
