demanded an increase of the teaching staff, and the
want of an additional chair both in Arts and Theology
was felt to be a necessity. In view of these facts a consider-
able addition to the revenue of the University was urgently
called for, and at the Annual Trustee Meeting in April,
1882 it was unanimously agreed to take steps for raising the
necessary funds. The following resolution was then passed
"It is resolved that an appeal be made to the graduates
and friends of Queen's College to subscribe to its revenue in
the following manner.
I. That inasmuch as an additional revenue of $7500 is
immediately required, subscriptions be solicited payable in
annual instalments during five years, of such sums as the
donors shall see fit to give the first instalment to be payable
on the first day of May 1883, and no such subscriptions to
be payable unless at least the sum of $5000 be annually
subscribed.
II. That inasmuch as it is further necessary to provide for
the growth of the University during the currency of the
said five years, any subscription if secured in excess of the
said sum of $7500 be funded to meet any increase of
expenditure that may become essentially necessary during
such period of five years.
III. That all donations or legacies hereafter received and not
specifically designated be funded in order to
increase the capital of the institution.
