CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL.
location at Georgetown, brings confusion into the council of the Church,
arrests the generosity of prospective donors, and discourages and disor-
ganizes every promising plan of progress, and will continue as long as said
agitation lasts, injuring not only the University itself, but the cause of educa-
tion in the Methodist Church of this State; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Board of Trustees of the Southwestern University, in
regular meeting assembled:
1. That the Southwestern University has been and should perpetually con-
tinue to be located at Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas:
2. That, while appreciating the local pride that prompts the great city of
Dallas in desiring to secure the same, and the implied compliment to the in-
stitution that her offer signifies, it is the sense of said Board of Trustees that
all propositions looking to the removal of said University from Georgetown,
Texas, are by said Board respectfully declined.
3. That it is the deliberate judgment of said Board of Trustees that the
contract permanently locating said University at Georgetown, Texas, made by
the Annual Conferences patronizing the same, is a valid, subsisting and bind-
ing contract that cannot and should not be breached either in law or in
morals.
4. That all the officers of said University, the President, the Faculty, and
the agents thereof, are hereby instructed to hereafter discountenance and
discourage the agitation of the removal of said University from Georgetown,
Williamson County, Texas, except in those particulars and for those purposes
contemplated in the original charter thereof.
5. That these resolutions be spread upon the Minutes of the Board of
Trustees-of Southwestern University, and that the Secretary be instructed to
forward a copy of the same to each of the Annual Conferences of the Southern
Methodist Church in Texas, in time to be presented to same at the ensuing
meetings thereof.
Respectfully submitted,
JNO. M. BARCUS,
ROBT. A. JOHN,
M. D. SLATOR,
R. E. BROOKS.
