EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
474 History University of Illinois congress intended to create in each state a series of primary, leading and controlling institutions, having in themselves an independent vitality and power of their own constantly reanimated and reinspired from the people whose interests they are designed to foster; and not a mere series of appendages or satellites to whose interests they are designed to revolve around and minister to other institutions however needful and good in themselves. How this end can be reached, will require much time, thought, care and patience and the highest wisdom and prudence from year to year of your honorable body and your successors, and for this and other reasons too numerous to mention in this connection, the Convention passed the following resolutions as expressive of their opinion of the course of action which will at present best subserve the public good. Signed: J. B. Turner, Felix Scott, John P. Reynolds.
