On the Mfiootrary, the Legislature has acted very hastily, and has passed a mis erable pittance of an appropriation, .utterly inadequate to enable the trustees of the proposed college to make a fair beginning in tbe work Ttiis legislation was enacted, too, *‘iu the faee of a restraining order ^ irpn the DiiitedBtatea Coart for blddlig the exeodtir of Mr. Ulem- ‘'ion’e Will to transfer tbe property to the State nutil tbe claims of Miss Lee, the testator’s granddaughter, shall have beeh judlcidbaly deter .miaed.
