[Sidenote: Committee’s suggestions for Lampeter school not accepted] The committee appointed to consider the proposals of Lampeter Preparative Meeting for building a school house made a report in writing, which not meeting the approbation of this meeting, is returned and Joseph Brinton, Abraham Gibbons, William Brinton, James Smith, John Ferris, James Cooper, and Levi Powell are added to the former committee and William Webb is requested to consider the matter and report to the next meeting.[639] At the session of the monthly meeting held two months later, the newly appointed committee was successful in getting a satisfactory hearing for their decision in regard to the Lampeter Boarding School.
