emergency which has arisen in the financial position of
Queen's College by the refusal of the Legislature of Ontario

College to assist it in the promotion of Literature, Science, and
Art, unanimously resolved:"--
1 "That is is of the greatest importance to the interests of the
Church, and of higher education generally, that this Institution be
efficiently maintained."
2 "That, in these circumstances, it is the paramount duty
of the Synod to appeal to the Church and the community to supply
the funds needed for this object"
3 "That the members of the Synod, of the Board of Trustees,
and of the College Corporation now present, pledge their utmost
aid and influence to accomplish the endowment
of the Institution to the extent of at least $100,000."
