A number of gentlemen have kindly consented, at the request of the
Prudential Committee of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions, acting for the Trustees of the College, to take charge of the
funds contributed in this country for the Oahu College, (where the
donors do not direct them to be remitted directly to the Trustees at the
Islands;) and they will invest such funds in the United States, and
cause the interest to be remitted annually to the officer of the
corporation legally authorized to receive it. The Trustees for the Fund,
appointed in the first instance by the Prudential Committee, will fill
the vacancies occurring in their own number; and they will be authorized
to transfer the investment of the funds to the Sandwich Islands whenever
they and the Trustees of the College concur in the opinion, that this
can be safely and advantageously effected.
The following gentlemen compose the Trustees for the Funds to be
invested in the United States; namely,--
HENRY HILL, Esq., of Boston, Mass.
PELATIAH PERIT, Esq., of New York city.
Gen. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, of Norwich, Conn.
Hon. THOMAS W. WILLIAMS, of New London, Conn.
HENRY P. HAVEN, Esq., of New London, Conn.
JAMES HUNNEWELL, Esq., of Charlestown, Mass.
WILLIAM E. DODGE, Esq., of New York city.
ABNER KINGMAN, Esq., of Boston, Mass.
