The governor of the Commonwealth who oflicially approved and signed the act of incorporation was a son, of the second of the original cor- porators.

The body consists of the President of the University, ex ojjicfio, and Iive classes of Trustees, elected from year to year for the term of ive years. 'By a new act of the Legislature,'approved March 6, 1890, the Trustees were given power to receive and hold any amount of property, real or personal. . . . In 1883 the ,Legislature of the State of New York granted a char- ter, by the terms of which the Trustees of Boston University are 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 applicable to benevolent and scientific corporations organized under the laws of this State.
