Each stock-bolder is entitled to vote the amount of his stock at any of the stock-holder’s meetings. No assessments will be levied. The money raised by selling stock will be used in constructing the University buildings, purchasing apparatus, and necessary lands, and carrying out the plan of the school. Thirteen trustees will be elected by the stock-holders each year; said trustees to have full control of the management of the University. The money received for tuition and the sale of scholarships is expected to be sufficient for carrying on the work of the School after it is once started. How many shares do you want?
