"The design of erecting a college in this province is a matter of such grand and general importance that I have frequently made it the topic of my serious meditation .... ""It is, in the first place, observable that, unless its constitution and gov­- ernment be such as will admit persons of all Protestant denominations upon a perfect parity as to privileges, it will itself be greatly prejudiced and prove a nursery of animosity, dissension and disorder ...

And we know that religion, and the religion of these churches in particular, both as to doctrine and discipline, was the main design of the founders of this college, ... and this design their successors are bound in duty to pursue. And, indeed, religion is a matter of so great consequences and importance that the knowledge of the arts and sciences, how excellent soever in themselves, are comparatively worth but little without it."
