SiOnS in the city OF Memphis, Tenn.
has been moved to Nashville, Tenn.
to the campus of Roger Williams
University. The removal has taken
place to enlarge the sphere Of use
fulness of the institution, made pos
sible by the inducements offered for
the change of the location, Roger
Williams University already having
campus of twelve acres. with three
brick and two frame buildings there
on.
The trustees of Roger Williams
University, with the consent Of the
Baptist Missionary and Educational
Convention of Tennessee, which owns
and controls the University, extend
ed the invitation and were duly au-
thorized by the Convention in Nash
vile, Tenn, on Nov 22nd, 1918, UNI
der the following resolution, to en-
ter upon necessary terms for the
union of the two schools: Resolved,
that we grant the Educational Board
of this Convention and the trustees
of Roger Williams University the
power to enter into any kind of ar
rangements for the legal correlation
of Roger Williams University and
the National Baptist Theological
Seminary and Bible Training School,
that is necessary for the blending
of the two institutions"
The National Baptist Educational
Board, at a meeting held in the city
of st. Louis, Mo-, in September, 1918,
clothed a special committee with
the authority to act upon the invi-
tation to transfer the school to Nash
vile, whenever suitable terms were
offered. This committee accepted
the invitation of the trustees of the
Roger Williams University, and thus
the transfer has been made.
Having been appraised of the fore
going facts, and knowing of the
suspicious opening Of the National
Baptist Theological Seminary which
took place on Dec. IL, 1918. we, the
undersigned committee, designated by
the commission Of the National Bap-
fist Convention, hereby express our
approval Of the action taken We
state upon our own knowledge that
a splendid faculty has been chosen
and is now at work. We, therefore
urge that the Seminary he aided in
every way possible, and that it be
attended by all ministers and mis-
sionaries, Sunday School teachers
and religious workers seeking Bible
knowledge for Christian work.
We also take pleasure in stating
that Roger Williams University is a
literary school of high order, and
all who desire a literary education
can secure it, along with theologi-
cal and Bible training.

and Bible students is ten dollars
