Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biennial Report of St. John´s College, Annapolis, MD., To the General Assembly of Maryland: January 10th, 1878 Sir: In accordance with custom, I have the honor respectfully to submit, through you, to the General Assembly of the State, my Report of St. John´s College for the past two years, and of its present condition. Past Legislation in Reference to the College. For a correct understanding of the relations of the College to the State, I would mention, briefly, a few points in connection with its history which may not be known to all the members of your Honorable Body. The College was chartered in 1784, (Chapter 37,) and by the terms of the charter it was enacted, (Section 19,) "that the sum of £1,750, current money ($4,666.66,) be annually and forever hereafter given and granted as a donation by the public to the use of the said College." The private subscriptions for the establishment of the College amounted at that time to $32,000, and the above was the State´s donation for its continued support. This was, however, withdrawn by a resolution of 1805, (Chapter 85,) which resolution was held by the Court of Appeals in 1859 (15 Maryland, page 330) to be a violation of the contract contained in the charter, and therefore void. A resolution of 1811, (No. 38,) restored $1,000 per annum to the College, and a resolution of 1832, (No. 41,) increased this to $3,000 per annum, but coupled it with the condition that this sum should be received as satisfaction in full of all claims of the College upon the State.
