An Act for the encouragement of learning in Harford County.
Lib.
TH. No. 3, fol. 311. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS the establishment of seminaries for the
education of
youth in this, as well as other counties, has been of essential benefit
to society, by bringing forward a succession of able and virtuous
characters, qualified to discharge the various duties of public
and private life: And whereas, the general diffusion of scientific
knowledge through such means is the more essentially necessary in
a country like ours, the perpetuity of whose happy government materially
depends upon the religion, virtue and patriotism, of the
people at large, from whom all power in relation to the government
emanates, and before whom public men and measures are daily
passing in judgment, and who are eligible in one way or other to
the most important trusts and offices, both in church and state,
trusts and offices that require the utmost extent of human acquisition;
therefore, |
An academy to be
erected under direction
of trustees. |
1. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
there be erected, and hereby is erected and established, at or near
Belle-Air, in Harford county, an academy for the liberal education
of youth in such sciences and branches of learning as the trustees
and professors thereof shall from time to time think useful and expedient
for the benefit and advancement of the institution; and the
said academy shall be regulated under the management, direction |
