  scientific 
  societies, 
  or 
  institutions 
  possessed 
  of 
  the 
  requi- 
  

   site 
  means 
  and 
  influence 
  to 
  extend 
  material 
  aid 
  in 
  this 
  

   respect, 
  your 
  Committee 
  are 
  of 
  opinion 
  that 
  such 
  patron- 
  

   age 
  should, 
  as 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  justice 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  policy, 
  be 
  

   cheerfully 
  and 
  seasonably 
  extended 
  by 
  the 
  Legislature. 
  

  

  The 
  end 
  for 
  which 
  this 
  department 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Uni- 
  

   versity 
  was 
  established, 
  can 
  never 
  be 
  attained, 
  if 
  assist- 
  

   ance 
  of 
  this 
  character 
  shall 
  be 
  refused 
  or 
  grudgingly 
  

   extended 
  ; 
  and 
  that 
  benefit 
  which 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  derived 
  from 
  

   the 
  experience 
  and 
  labors 
  of 
  learned 
  professors, 
  will 
  be 
  

   entirely 
  cut 
  off. 
  

  

  The 
  branch 
  of 
  science 
  embraced 
  and 
  illustrated 
  in 
  

   this 
  work, 
  has 
  been 
  too 
  long 
  neglected 
  to 
  admit 
  of 
  fur- 
  

   ther 
  delay 
  in 
  rendering 
  the 
  aid 
  necessary 
  to 
  its 
  proper 
  

   development, 
  if 
  the 
  Legislature 
  design 
  to 
  promote 
  bene- 
  

   ficial 
  and 
  practical 
  results. 
  

  

  "With 
  this 
  view, 
  and 
  in 
  conformity 
  with 
  the 
  recom- 
  

   mendations 
  of
