(Lane_066) Line 1 1 Line 2 ordered, that the following suggestions be commu- Line 3 nicated to the Faculty, by the Recording Secretary. Line 4 in connection with the proceedings of the Board Line 5 at the present meeting. Line 6 (Shown Vertically: No. 6) Line 7 To guard against misapprehensions, Line 8 the Board of Trustees think proper to commu- Line 9 nicate to the Faculty some explanation of Line 10 their views, in relation to the regulations re- Line 11 cently adopted. Line 12 The Board are very far from designing Line 13 to impose any undue restraints upon discussion & Line 15 free enquiry ^ among the students; nor do they design to interfere with Line 16 the Faculty in the details of Collegiate govern- Line 17 ment: their object has ^ is been to secure to the Line 18 Faculty a more direct & certain influence Line 19 over the conduct of the students, without the ne- Line 20 cessity of adopting for themselves severe or arbitrary Line 21 regulations. The Board consider; ^ that the location Line 22 of this Seminary, in the vicinity of a large city Line 23 & on the borders of a Slave state, calls for some Line 24 peculiar cautionary measures in its government; Line 25 & that the present state of public sentiment on Line 26 some exciting topics, requires some restraints to be Line 27 imposed, which under other circumstances, might Line 28 be entirely unnecessary. Line 29 On the subject of slavery, the Board are of opinion Line 30 that public general discussions ought to be excluded from the Line 31 Institution. at present. So much of excitement, & of par- Line 32 ty animosity has already arisen from this source; its Line 33 tendencies at this time are so obviously to absorb too Line 34 much of the attention, that the minds of the students Line 35 can hardly come in contact with it without injury with safety. Line 36 The proceedings of the Students have produced Line 37 an impression in community, that the Seminary Line 38 is deeply implicated with one particular party.__ (Lane_067) Line 1 [?] Line 2 Another part of the regulations has been adopted with Line 3 some reference to the intercourse of the Students with the Line 4 city. Considering, that the students will classes will be com- Line 5 posed of at best some diversity of character, will be Line 6 assembled from all parts of the country, some indi- Line 7 viduals but little conversant with men and manners, & Line 8 many of them entirely unacquainted with the pecul- Line 9 iar state of society & public sentiment in the city place, Line 10 it cannot be expected, that ^all will all be prepared to mingle Line 11 at once in ^ its the society of the place, even to engage in the Line 12 benevolent operations of the day, without some danger of Line 13 evil consequences. They will at best need advise; _ to be Line 14 directed in the course & the objects most suited to their Line 15 several capacities; & to be cautioned against indiscretions; Line 16 & some times to be restrained in pursuits, which to them Line 17 would seem laudable. A few instances of indiscretion in Line 18 the inexperienced, repeated & exaggerated as they will be by Line 19 the ill-disposed, will do much injury both to the in- Line 20 dividuals & the cause. In this case, also the Board Line 21 consider, that the ^ safest & the mildest, remedy guard against evil is, to bring the stu- Line 22 dents in the first instance in contact with the Faculty Line 23 by way of asking leave of absence. Line 24 Line 25 In the regulations, which they have adopted, the Board Line 26 have had in view the great objects of excluding from the Line 27 seminary, matters foreign to its legitimate objects purposes; Line 28 securing the greatest prosperity to the Institution, & the greatest Line 29 weight to its religious influence; & guarding the students Line 30 against causes tending to lessen their usefulness in the world. Line 31 They have acted upon the principle, as they will ever consider Line 32 themselves bound to do, that wholesome regulations in a Line 33 seminary of learning, must be carefully established, & Line 34 rigidly enforced, with mildness, but with firmness; & that Line 35 pupils, who do not cheerfully acquiesce in such a [unclear] of Line 36 government, will not be deserving^ or useful objects of its care. (Lane_068) Line 1 3. Line 2 It is evident to all, who are accustomed to observe Line 3 the signs of the times, that there is at present in Line 4 our country among all classes & departments of Line 5 Community, a strong & growing propensity to Line 6 insubordination, _ a disposition – to set up ^individual; private Line 7 opinions notions or constructions in opposition to lawful Line 8 authority, _ to justify resistance to law by private Line 9 opinion against its policy or propriety. When such a Line 10 spirit develops itself in midnight riots, or public rebell- Line 11 ion against the laws of the land; we all regard Line 12 it with horror: Yet it is but the workings Line 13 of the same spirit, which arrays the students of Line 14 our colleges in hostility to the regulations established Line 15 by their constituted [rules]. If allowed thus in youth, Line 16 it may become most pernicious in age; &, if indulged Line 17 at all among the reputable & the educated, what must we Line 18 not expect among the profligate & the ignorant! If Line 19 students of a theological seminary are allowed thus, Line 20 unconsiously, but most efficiently, to act in alliance Line 21 with the rioters & [unclear] of the day, we may Line 22 well despair of the Republic. Line 23 Entertaining such views, the Board have Line 24 regarded it as no objection to the rules ^ now adopted, that they Line 25 may be met with decided hostility by some indiscreet Line 26 individuals among the students, or that in practice Line 27 they may be sensibly felt by the pupils as a contin- Line 28 ued restraint on their movements. Among the free Line 29 institutions of our country, where every thing is freedom, Line 30 there is little danger of too much restraint; all the Line 31 tendencies are to the opposite extreme; & a course Line 32 of intellectual & moral discipline, which habituates Line 33 the mind to ^implicit submission to rules, however reluctantly, will Line 34 be greatly useful in its influences on the character. Line 35 if not [partially] necessary, to the proper formation of Line 36 character. (Lane_069) Line 1 the slavery question, & unless this impression can be re- Line 2 moved, that the prosperity of the Institution will be much Line 3 retarded, & its usefulness ^greatly diminished. To avoid these Line 4 difficulties, the Board can discover ^ no to way but to require Line 5 the societies referred to, to be discontinued. The students Line 6 themselves, who are sufficiently informed on the subject, & Line 7 look upon it dispassionately, cannot object to this Line 8 step: & the Board also think it important, that Line 9 all societies in the seminary should be organized Line 10 under some sort of supervision on the part of Line 11 the Faculty. Line 12 Such societies are framed to perpetuate them- Line 13 selves, & may exert a great influence upon the opin- Line 14 ions & moral characters of many successive classes. Line 15 It is due to the students, & to those, who entrust their Line 16 children to the care of the Institution, that the door Line 17 should not be left open for employing such influ- Line 18 ences in a way to counteract the efforts of the Line 19 legitimate Instructors. The same consideration is Line 20 applicable to the practice of public [unclear] addresses & Line 21 lectures among the students. In relation to ^both these ^ matters the Line 22 Board consider, that the [least] exceptionable mode Line 23 of securing to the Faculty their proper control, is to Line 24 require leave to be obtained from them in the first Line 25 instance. This restriction does not imply any disap- Line 26 probabation of proper associations societies, or debates: It merely operates Line 27 to bring the ^ subject matters before the Faculty in the first in- Line 28 stance, before any feelings are excited; & gives ^ which a Line 29 favorable opportunity to the contemplated proceedings, & Line 30 suggesting ^ useful modifications. It will, secure an easy & Line 31 genial control over a very important class of moral Line 32 & intellectual influences; ^ in the seminary & it is with this view a part Line 33 of the regulations have been adopted.

We rejoice in being permitted to lay be- fore you at this interesting season, the rise, progress, plan and designs of an institution which claims the highest consideration of every enlightened citizen; an institution, which presents an aspect worthy of the sup- port of every friend of Science, Literature and Religion. In presenting to your view, the promi- nent features of the Lane Seminary we ob- serve, that it originated with Messrs. E. & W. A. Lane, Merchants of New Orleans. These gentlemen, actuated by the pure prin- ciples of benelovence, arrived in this town some time in October last, and for the per- pose of investing their surplus funds in such a manner, as best to promote the interests of the Redeemer’s Kingdom and produce the greatest amount of good. On their arrival, a few individuals of this city, convened at their request, to whom they disclosed the plan of a school and submitted it to their judgement and discretion. Here it is worthy of remark, that some of the individuals who attended on this occasion, had been deeply impressed with the importance of this sub- ject, and anxiously solicitous that something should be done in this section of the [C]ountry for the cause of Zion. It may well be sup- posed then, that no time was lost, in embra- cing the proposed plan, which was so admi- rably adapted to our wants, and the more so when they had the additional encourage- ment, of a permanent support from its pro- jectors. A Board of Trustees, consisting of 23, were selected at the request of the Messrs. Lanes, and organized on the 27th of October Last, under the style and title of the “Ohio Board of Education.” These gentlemen Then submitted the direction to the Board, After entering into the following legal obli- Gation with them, viz: That they will pay Over to the Treasurer of the Board, semi- annually, for the support of the professors, and for the purchase of a library and philo- sophical apparatus, or to be appropriated otherwise as should best promote the inter- ests of the institution, one third part of their net annual income, for the first three years from the opening of the school, and one fourth part thereafter; and in order that the Board should be assured of a certain amount, they further agree, that the appropriation shall amount for the first four years to the sum of four thousand dollars. The conditions of this agreement, were predicated upon the following, which is the plan of the institution. (Lane_045) That the institution be located in the vi- cinity of Cincinnati. That as a fundamen- tal principle, each student shall be required to spend a certain portion of time in manual labor, in farming or the mechanics, which time is prescribed by the Board at not less than three, nor more than four hours daily. That it consists of a Prepatory, a Literary and a Theological department, and these de- partments to be entirely distinct. That the time for the Prepatory course is indefinite, for the Literary four years, and for the Theo- logical three yeaars, and each department to have its appropriate Professors and Teach- ers. The course of studies in each of these departments will vary only from other col- leges, in the expulsion of such branches as are less useful, and the introduction of oth- ers of greater utility. The support of the institution will depend principally, upon the industry of its members, and in this we feel sanguine, that from experiments already tried in several places, that the amount of the proceeds from labor bestowed, will more than balance the whole expense of the in- stitution. One thousand dollars paid at any one time, Will constitute a permanent scholarship, and The interest of a thousand dollars a tempor- ary scholarship. These considerations, how- ever, will be relinquished if they are found unnecessary. The inquiry will now arise, what has been the progress of this institution? In answer to which we observe, that every exertion has been made that could be made under the peculiar circumstances which they have been placed; weekly meetings of the Board most part of the time have been held, and all information on the subject that could be ob- tained, has been sought fore, A farm in some eligible situation was found necessary, and after much labor the Board have procured an hundred acres of land, situated on Wal- nut hills, two miles from this city. The situation is well known to most of the inhab- itants of this city and its vicinity, and there- fore it is hardly necessary to add that it is an elevated, salubrious, and healthy place; in corroboration of this fact, it is sufficient to say, that the inhabitants in that neighbor- hood, seldom require medical aid. The soil is rich and fertile, and is watered by the purest and best water from perpetual springs. The Board have made every exertion too, to obtain agents to solicit funds for the erec- tion of the buildings, and have appointed several; but never until the present time, have they been able to obtain one for Cin- cinnati and its vicinity; a few days since they were able to prevail upon the Rev. Mr. Cox, (who being impressed with the great impor- tance and imperious demand for an institu- tion of this kind, and, notwithstanding the multiplied calls for his labors in other places,) to remain with us a few weeks for this pur- pose. The Rev. George C. Beckwith of Lowell, Mass. Has been appointed Professor of Biblical Literature and Ecclesiatical History, and he has signified his acceptance of the appointment. Mr. Beckwith will be here about the middle or before the close of October next. Every arrangement is now made for the erection of the necessary build- ings, except the finances. (Lane_046) Most of the materials for the buildings can be obtained on, or about the farm, and upon the most reasonable terms. The Prin- cipal designs of this institution are to pre- pare young men for the gospel ministry, and to open the way for the most indigent young men to obtain with any commendable exertions, a Literary or Theological educa- tion. The board do not place this seminary upon the broad basis of charity, but only to open the way whereby any enterprising in- dividual can assist himself, and to bring for- ward that class of talented individuals, who through the depression of means, have been kept back from greater usefulness. We presume, however, it will not be un- derstood, that the rich will be excluded; but that the institution so far as its means ex- tend, will be open for all of a good moral character, either indigent or opulent. We have now laid before you the general fea- tures of the “Lane Seminary,” and will in- quire, shall it still remain only in prospect and exist only in name! But it is said per- haps, that it has one material fault. What is it? It is sectarian! It is Presbyterian[!] It is only Presbyterian as it regards the Theolo- gical department. What then should we, who are Presbyterian, have made it? Epis- copalian? Then the same objection would arise? What then? Methodists? Then it is still sectarian, Baptist? here we beg leave to suggest, that the benevolent founders of this institution, are Baptists, and it was with their advice and consent that this should be, what it is. They knew no sects, for the cause of the Redeemer was their object in this great enterprise. As it is a Presbyte- rian, where is the harm. Will a session, a Presbytery, a Synod, or a General Assembly, prevent men from going to heaven? aside from this, where is the essential difference, between the denominations just mentioned. We are thankful that the great Redeemer of men, is fast bringing about the destruction of party distinction, and is giving to his chil- dren a new name, even the name of chris- tian; and we believe before the walls, walls do we say? Yes, the walls of this edifice, for they will go up, shall be broken by the lapse of time, no party disnctions will be known, save that of the righteous and the wicked. Is there no other objection made? Yes, the laboring system. Students will not be (Lane_047) subject to a formal daily task. Let us ask if you ever heard this objection made by students in any of the institutions where la- bor was required. Never, we presume but, that on the contrary, they long for the hour to arrive, that they may engage in it, and it is on this very ground, that we have had application for admission into this school. For this country, no other system will suc- ceed. It combines health with exercise and profit, and furnishes an additional and exten- sive source of information. Although it may be conceded that this in- stitution, upon the whole is as unexception- able as any other, yet we fear, that the most important objection that may arise, will be the inexpediency of raising funds for its ac- complishment at the present time. Here let us pause and reflect. We know the lib- erality of this people and the vast sums of money, that have been appropriated for re- ligions and benelovent purposes: and we frankly acknowledge in this place, within the last year and a half, than ever was expended within the same space of time in any place of equal dimensions, since the landing of the Pilgrims. But should this be the test, whereby to judge of our present condition? Is there an individual who can say in truth, that he has been materially in- jured by his liberality. Has not the blessing of God been experienced; have you not been the more prospered, and is not the ap- proving conscience a solace when you lie down, and when you arise up. May you not rest assured that the Lord will bless you in proportion to your obedience to his wise commands. Then think not of the past, but the present. The plan of an institution lies before you, which calls for your aid; which, when carried into operation will be a greater consolation than thousands of silver and gold. Have you not something more to spare? The Lord calls for it, and can you deny him! The sons of indigence call for it, and will you reject their petitions! The desti- tute population of these western wilds, call for it, and will you consent to sink them deeper and deeper in distress, for the lack of the knowledge of the truth. All, all my friends, that is worthy of your highest regard, all that is connected with the salvation of souls, all that is conductive to health and the advancement of the Redeemer’s kingdom, is concentrated in the subject presented be- fore you, and will you leave us to take up the lamentation, O Lord Jesus, has it come to this, most we still be left to beg for thy cause. (Lane_048) In reference to the above communication, and in [which] to give an idea of the [sources] from which demands upon the benevolent are continually made, we introduce the fol- lowing list of institutions which are depen- dent upon their aid. 1.The Board of Agency for Foreign Mis- sions. 2.Miami District Bible Society. 3.Female Branch Bible do 4.do Missionary and Tract do 5.Young Men’s do and do do 6.The Wesleyan Sunday School do 7.Hamilton County Bible do 8.Cincinnati Tract do 9.do Sunday School Union. 10.Female Infant School Society. 11.do Auxillary Bible do 12.do Missionary Association of the 1st Presbyterian Church. 13.do do do of the 2nd do do 14.Young Ladies Education Society. 15.do Men’s Bible do 16.do do Tract do 17.Cincinnati Colonization do 18.do Benefit do 19.Lafayette do do 20.Franklin Benelovent do 21.Western Sunday School Board of Agency. Several other societies are formed whose objects are more circumscribed. In addi- tion to this, eleven Churches have been built or are building, within the last year and a half. We fully accord with the sentiments expressed above, that greater exertions have never been made, nor more money has been paid in the short period of eighteen months, among a population numbering only twenty- four thousand. But does giving impoverish! certainly not, if given with a right spirit. He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord, And it will not return unto him void! And we Do beseech our worthy friends, who have so generously aided the benevolent operations of the day, seriously to inquire before they withhold the helping hand from an institu- tion of such vital importance to the people of the west, as is the “Lane Seminary.”— Have you sons? Let interest then excite you to assist: for where will you place them, that their health, their education and their mor- als will be equally promoted. Have you worthy friends, whose dependence is upon you? then do something for this institution, that they may assist themselves. Have you bowels of compassion for the indigent? stretch forth your band now, while the opportunity offers, for you to relieve them. In so doing, generations ye unborn, will rise up and call you blessed, and a crown of rejoicing will be your rich reward.
