flourishing institution have come fully up to all the requisitions, and that their proceedings are
strictly conformable to the act passed in seventeen hundred and ninety-eight, intended for the encouragement
of literature, and that their meritorious conduct well deserves the aid and assistance 
of the enlightened and patriotic legislature of Maryland.

Which was read.
