LIBERAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION. The capital stock of the Liberal University Corporation will consist of 10,000 shares at ten dollars per share — a total of one hundred thousand dollars. 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.
