The new Board of the University and the Trustees of the Education Society met jointly for the first time in June, 1846. In discussing their relationship both groups felt a common interest in safeguarding ministerial education. In order to afford ample opportunity for members to examine all details of possible arrangements the Boards might make between themselves, it was decided to defer final action for a year. Until that time the Education Society Trustees were to continue their supervision of the Institution as in the past. After the reading of the Board’s report, Ira Harris introduced a resolution approving the charter, which the members of the Society unanimously passed.
