integrity , the self-denial , the resolute and persevering benevolence , the cheerful devotion of time , talents and labours , to the most important interests of his fellowcreatures , which distinguished the late Thomas Henry Robinson—that his name may be well claimed as a boast to the Institution in which he received his education .
Deeply impressed with a sense of the close connexion between the best influences of pure Christianity , and a wellordered ^ education of both preachers and hearers , the Committee respectfully , but most earnestly , again solicit the attention of all who wish for the diffusion of a
manly knowledge and an enlightened faith , to the plan of studies pursued in the College at York . Of the gentlemen to whose immediate superintendence those studies are entrusted , they who appointed them to their office , may be thought unable to speak without partiality . But the Committee leave their recommendation
with confidence , to the unbiassed testimony of all who have had an opportunity of judging , how well they are qualified for their respective situations . The Committee are not aware that , within the extent of the means afforded to them , they have left any thing undone , for securing to the Institution , the attainment of all its objects . They trust ,
however , that , m their zeal for its prosperity , they are neither blind nor bigoted ; but that they would as readily listen to the suggestion of any improvement in their plan , as they would gratefully receive any additional assistance for its accomplishment . If , therefore , among the wellwishers to the great interest , from its connection with which such an
Institution must derive its strongest recommendation , there be any who are held back from its support , by an opinion , that it does not do enough for the purposes which it professes , —the * Committee respectfully intrcat such individuals to come forward in a friendly spirit , and point out where a deficiency may be supplied ,
or a desirable alteration be introduced . In the same . spirit , and with an earnest desire to believe , that both the present supporters of the College , and they who , as yet , have withheld the support which it was notj perhaps , unreasonable to expect from them , are equally zealous for
the diffusion of those principles , which belong to them in common , and in common muKt be valued by them iits . serious Christians , and consistent Dissenters—¦ the Committee pledge themselves to employ , with their best judgment , whatever assistance , of advice or of means , they may receive , for increasing at once , the
