In view of the answers of tho semi naries the committee reports that Omaha and Dubuque have adopted all of the recommendations of the general assem bly.

But they further say: "If tho assembly should still be of the opinion that such an amendment shoul 1 be obtained, the boards will endeavor to secure such action as will insure to tho general assembly the right to be represented in the courts, and to enforce Its proper control over the seminary and its property."

The board of directors of the western seminary at Allegheny, "being satisfied that the seminary now stands in such close relation to the Presbyterian church that both its teachings and its use of all Its property can be controlled by the gen eral assembly, sees no reason to ask any change in existing relations to the as sembly," but is rea4y to secure the neces sary legislation to carry out the assem bly's wishes The board of directors of Danville baa decided to adopt the recommendations as to by-laws and as a part of their constitu tion. The board of trustees states that it has an irrepealable charter, which can not be amended without danger of forfeit are, t&an Francises, being under synod ical care, has deemed it best to defer ac tion on the recommendations until after the next meeting of the synod.
