Arrangements were proposed to the Rev. John Sharp, M.A., late Professor in Morvin College, Quebec, to take up tutorial work in Philosophy and English.
A memorandum from Principal Grant brought up a question of some moment to the University, and which received much attention for several years thereafter. It was a proposal to make such a change in the Constitution of the University as would give the graduates and benefactors a larger share in the Government of the Institution, and would place the Theological Faculty, which had hitherto been a department of the University, under a separate and independent Board appointed by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church.
The matter being one of grave importance, the following representative Committee was appointed "to examine the whole question, and present a report to the Board at its autumn meeting":
"The Chairman, the Chancellor, the Principal, Dr. Campbell, the Moderator of the General Assembly, Dr. Herridge, Dr Milligan, and Messrs. D.B. Maclennan and F.H. Chryster to be the Committee."
And in view of the honorable part taken by the Presbyterian Church in founding Queen's, a clause was added to the Report to the Assembly asking that Court to appoint a Committee to confer with the Committee of the Board.
