We cannot pass from the Literary institution, without expressing the strong conviction which is felt, that the Church ought not to rest in her efforts, until two more professors be added to the present number. It should be our ambition to make this a first rate seat of science. When we reflect upon what has already been done, we must be satisfied, that this is altogether practicable. We have the ability, and it

needs only the will to carry our designs into effect.

3. From the report of the Board of Direction of the Corporation, we derive satisfactory evidence, that the individuals who compose it, have attended with their accustomed ability and fidelity to the financial concerns of the Church.

In relation to the several items referred to in their Report, claiming the attention of Synod, the Committee submit the following resolutions:

1. Resolved, That the Board be authorized to obtain from the Trustees of Rutgers' College, a quit-claim of their rights to certain lands, specified in their Report of 1829, and that they be empowered to redeem one of these lots, which has been sold for taxes, if they think it adviseable, and to sell the said lands for what price they can obtain for the same.

2. Resolved, That the Church, feeling the necessity of diminishing the number of collections which have, in former years, been imposed upon the Congregations under their care; and believing, that in so doing, a greater amount will be realized to the treasury, do earnestly recommend upon all the Ministers and Consistories, to make one general collection on the first Sabbath of November, if practicable, or, as soon thereafter as possible, in behalf of the Theological College, and on the first Sabbath of May, or as soon thereafter as possible, a collection of twenty-five cents from each and every communicant belonging to the Church; and that the Board of Direction of the Corporation, be instructed to send special Circulars on the subject of these collections, to all the Churches.

3. Resolved, That the Board of Corporation be empowered during the current year, to employ an agent, or agents, for a term, or terms, not less than one, nor more than three months, in succession, unless renewed; the winter months being excluded.

26

4. Resolved, That the Board of Superintendents of the Theological Seminary, designate, from time to time, the individual to be supported from the avails of the Heyer Scholarship.

It appears, moreover, from the Report of the Board of Direction of the Corporation, that the munificent grant of the Consistories of the Collegiate Church in the city of New York, in support of one of the Theological professors, will terminate on the 9th of November next. Your Committee believe, that from the present circumstances of that Consistory, it would not be magnanimous for this Synod to solicit a continuation of the grant.

5. Your Committee have had under consideration, a petition from the Students of the Theological College, requesting that an alteration may be made in the time of their annual examination, from the week succeeding to the week preceding the commencement in Rutgers' College.

Upon a careful and deliberate examination of this subject, your Committee cannot accede to the request of the Students, but recommend the adoption of the following resolution :

Resolved, That the annual examination of the Theological College, be held in the month of April, on the Tuesday immediately succeeding the close of the winter session.

6. The Committee have had before them, an application for a dispensation in behalf of A. Marcelus, now a member of the Theological College, that he may be allowed a few months of the commencement of his first year, and of Samuel Treadwell, a young man of colour, that he be licensed to preach the Gospel, so soon as he shall be found prepared by the Classis of New York.

Resolved, That said dispensations be granted.

7. From an application of John C. Baldwin, referred to your Committee, it appears, that he applied to this Synod, at its last meeting, to receive aid from the Benschoten fund, and was, on account of the then appropriation of that fund, referred to the Education Society, by whom he has been aided till this time. He now makes application to be transferred from the Education Society to the Van Benschoten fund, for his support in the Theological Seminary.

Resolved, That his request be granted; that he be so transferred; and he is hereby recommended to the Trustees of Rutgers' College.
