Provision was also made for the Chair of New Testament Exegesis and Ecclesi- astical Greek. The next step ill orgnuixiug was to secure a suitable building. By the liberal co-operation of the Board of 'rrustees of Western Mar-yland College, the Manage- ment was able to proceed at once with the erection of a building for the special uses of the School of Theology, located in the city of Westminster, Maryland, the seat of Western Maryland College, and adjoining the grounds of that institution. At the session of the Conference held in westminster, March. 1883, the Princi- pal of the School of Theology having reported that it was found to be altogether impracticable that the school should be carried on as a department of the college, it was recommended the Conference Committee that "our Theological school be known as 'TIn- Tlteological Semiuory of the 111. P. Clmrclt,' and that the Conference appoint three ministers and two laymen, who shall act as a Board of Governors of said Theological Seminary, whose duty it shall be, in COIl- uection with the Principal of said seminary, and until further authorized by an Act of Incorporation, to superintend all matters relating to the interest of said institution." This recommendation was adopted by the Conference, and an Act of Incor- poration was obtained from the General Assembly of Maryland, approved April S, 1834.
