At a meeting held November 30, 186®, at No. 26 X Fifth street, Philadelphia, the following paper was prepared and signed, which embodies the views of the founders of the College : “The undersigned ministers, members and friends of the Herman Reformed Church and residing within the limits of the Chassis of Philadelphia, realizing the importance of establishing in our midst a collegiate institution which shall afford the usual advantages of a higher religious and literary education and at the same time specially providing for training in the German branches, herewith agree to unite in an effort to found such an institution, and to make the necessary arrangements for opening it as soon as possible, under the management of a suitable Board of Trustees. It is expressly understood and agreed that the religious and moral principles upon which the institution shall be based shall be those of the Heidelberg Catechism and historically distinctive of the German Reformed Church, and that this object shall be definitely secured and provided for in the charter of the institution. An informal organization of the Board of Directors was formed with Rev. Jacob Dahlman. Jr., of Philadelphia, as President; Rev. II. H. W. Hibshman as Vice-President: H. Kratz, of Trappe, as Secretary, and Wright A. Bringhurst, of Trappe, as Treasurer. The work of selecting a location, of raising funds, of procuring a charter were rapidly pushed to successful completion. Charter.— The act of incorporation under which I'rsiiius College is conducted, was granted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania by special Act approved February 5. 1869. The first section of the act of incorporation establishes an institution of learning for the purpose “of imparting instruction in science, literature, the liberal arts and learned professions by the name, style, and title of Ursinus College.” The second section constitutes such institution a body politic and corporate in law, granting unto it authority to hold real estate, receive bequests, buy and sell and mortgage its real estate under the care and management of a Board of Directors not exceeding twenty-one in number.
