as may be in his power,
during his contemplated visit to the United States.
To this end, the Trustees of the College hereby bespeak for him the
kind regards and co-operation of all the friends of education and
religion with whom he may meet during his mission.

R. ARMSTRONG,
Sec'y of Board of Trustees.
At a meeting of the Trustees for the Fund, held in Boston, May 28,
1857, it was
Resolved, That the Rev. E. G. Beckwith, President of Oahu College,
now in this country for the purpose of obtaining an endowment for that
now and important Institution at the Sandwich Islands, be earnestly
commended, by the Trustees for the Fund it is proposed to raise for the
College in this country, to the liberal patronage of those who would
promote the cause of education at the Islands, and thus give stability
and perpetuity to the civil and Christian institutions which have been so
successfully introduced into that part of the world; with the
understanding, that the investment of the Fund be made under the
direction of the aforesaid Trustees residing in the United States.
ABNER KINGMAN, Clerk.
The following is the form of subscription, which it is proposed to
circulate among the friends of this enterprise:
We, the undersigned, subscribe the several sums set to our respective
names, towards a Fund for the endowment of the Oahu College, in the
Sandwich Islands, which Fund is to be invested under the direction of a
Board of Trustees in the United States appointed for this purpose by the
Trustees of the College; and the income arising therefrom to be
annually appropriated to the support of said institution. Provided
always, that no portion of said subscriptions, or any of the income
arising therefrom, shall be used for the promotion of any system or
course of education not in accordance with the Sixth Article of the
present Charter of the said College.
* * * * *
Article Sixth of the Charter, reads as follows:

"Be it hereby further known, that, as the object of the Institution is the
training of youth in the various branches of a Christian education, and,
as it is reasonable that the Christian education should be in conformity
to the general views of the founders and patrons of the Institution, no
course of instruction shall be deemed lawful in said Institution, which
is not accordant with the principles of Protestant Evangelical
Christianity, as held by that body of Protestant Christians, in the United
States of America, which originated the Christian Mission to these
Islands, and to whose labors and benevolent contributions the people of
these Islands are so greatly indebted."

HENRY HILL, Esq., of Boston, Mass., Chairman of the Trustees for
the Fund, is Treasurer of said Board of Trustees, and all remittances for
the College can be made to him, at his office, 118 Milk St.
Boston, June 1, 1857.
