Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on Seminary Lands
Having thus, with great brevity, stated the past action of Congress, and of our Territorial authorities, in regard to the seminary lands, together with a suggestion or two of what is yet to be done, in order to make the remaining locations in the most advantageous manner, the Board will now venture a few remarks, as to the proper disposi tion of these lands. The General Government evidently intended by this donation, to create a permanent fund, to be inviolably preserved, and applied to the purposes of education. And, as a guarantee, Congress has, in every instance, restricted the States from the authority to sell or alien ate these lands, except under its own immediate sanction, exacting the most solemn pledges for the faithful application of the fund.
