dents of the first class have bound themselves to raise and pay, if practicable, in five years, the sums which they have respectively subscribed, amounting in the whole to about $7000. And the Students of the third class have, on similar conditions, individually bound themselves in sums, amounting collectively to about $4000. The Board would further report, that at their late meeting they received from the executors of the late Dr. Elias Boudinot, an extract from his last Will and Testament, from which it appears, that he has bequeathed to the Seminary the greater part of his library, and the sum of $5000 in money, after the decease of his daughter; and that he has also devised a tract of about 4000 acres of land, lying in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania. In consequence of this communication the Board passed the following resolution, viz: RESOLVED, That it be recommended to the General Assembly to order, that whenever the sum of $5000, shall have been received from the Executors of the late Dr. Boudinot, two Scholarships shall be founded with said sum, under the names of the Boudinot and Bradford Scholarships; and that whenever the requisite sum for the establishment of one or more Scholarship or Scholarships, from the sale or profits of the land devised for the use of this Seminary be received, that the said Scholarship or Scholarships, shall be established under such names as Mrs. Susan V. Bradford shall suggest." The Board further report, that since the meeting of the last Assembly, the Rev. Ebenezer Grant, a Director of the Seminary, has departed this life. Two years of the term for which he was elected, yet remain. The Assembly will of course elect a Director to supply his place. Signed by order of the Board, JOHN M'DOWELL, Sec'ry.
