Sheldon Jackson, D.D., with profound interest the recital of facts relating to the introduction of the Gospel into Utah, the opening, maintenance and growth of mission schools under the auspices of the Woman's Board, and the desire and purpose of the Church to crown the work by establishing a Christian college; and <br> Whereas, The Board believes that the establishing of Sheldon Jackson College supplements and completes the work of higher Christian education which has providentially grown out of the Mission School work of the Board; and <br> Whereas, It is believed that the school known as the "Salt Lake Collegiate Institute" now owned and controlled by this Board, is the natural preparatory department of said College; and <br> Whereas, The Board does not desire nor purpose to erect the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute into a college, but believes that by uniting it with Sheldon Jackson College the cause of Christ will be more rapidly advanced and His kingdom the more firmly established in Utah to the glory of God; therefore be it <br> Resolved I.

That the Woman's Board are hereby authorized and empowered to continue to direct, control and support the said <br><br> |
