The three gentlemen named in the Charter as the original corporators were Isaac Rich, Esquire, the Honorable Lee Claiiin. and the Honorable Jacob Sleeper, all of whom had held responsible positions in the government of one or more of the older New-England colleges, and the last of whom had served as a State-appointed Overseer of Harvard University for a period of twelve years. The Governor of the Commonwealth who oflicially approved and signed the act of incorporation was a son of the second of the original corporators. The Corporation. -Under the provisions of the Charter, the power of receiving, holding, and administering funds, establishing departments of instruction, appointing ofiicers of instruction and gov- ernment, providing suitable buildings and appliances, conferring degrees, and, in general, the power of directing the administration, vests in the Corporation, whose legal title is The Trustees of Boston University. The body consists of the President of the University ea:-ojicio, and five classes of Trustees elected from year to year for the term of five years. The whole number must not be less than ten nor more than thirty. In the year 1883 the Corporation was granted a Charter by the Legislature of the State of New York, the first section of which is as follows: H The Trustees of the Boston University, a corporation organ- ized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Massachusetts, are hereby authorized and empowered to take and hold lands in this State, by devise, or under the provisions of any will, in the same manner and under the same limitations applicablefto benevolent and scientific corporations organized under the laws of this State. The University Council. - Under the provisions of the stat- utes of organization, the President of the University, the Registrar, and the Deans of the several departments, constitute the University Council. To this body belongs, among other duties, that of secur- ing an harmonious adjustment of all inter-departmental questions of administration. '
