DR.. Mcmillan opposed the, third section
on the ground that it restricted the

| an amendment to the effect that each
| institution should select its own agents;
| but withdrew it when the matter was
/ further explained.
The different clauses were read and
| adopted by section, until the seventh was

be given to Davidson, $25,0O to the Union
| Seminary, Va, $150,000 to the schools and
