896 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [April 2,

that there were or might be to the amount of $7,500, claims
of parties furnishing supplies to the College Commons during
the superintendence of Dr. Nelson, yet unpaid, which the.
Board assumed to pay, which thus, whatever be the exact
amount -within the above limit of $7,500, constitutes a debt
of the College, and for the payment of which, the Board pro-
posed to provide by negotiating a loan, and securing it by
mortgage on the real estate of the College. This indebted-
ness I omitted to state in. my former communication.
