There can be no doubt of the beneficial results of the plan, if the native Hindoos will but steadily support it.

Ram Gopal Mulik, Copee Mohun Deb, and Huree Mohun Thakoor, be constituted a committee, for taking measures towards providing a proper situation for the seminary, and that the native part of the committee reconsider and report on the means of providing funds.
