PROGRESS
DED
N FAVOR Of
COLLEGE.
Judge Galloway this forenoon render
ed Ins decision in the case of Albany
College agt. C. M. Monteith et al., an
elaborate opinion covtring seven type
written pages, involving the title to the
6,'J!) acres of lund upon which the college
buildings and campus are situated, in
which the defendants claim an adverse
interest. ,
The deed was dated Aug. 19, 1S69,
and is set forth. Tho consideration was
that tho board should erect an edifice
valued at $8,000, that the suid Collegiate
Institue is and shall he forever hereafter
under the supervision and control of the
Presbyterian Church, and the president
of the board of trustees and the presi
dent of the faculty of the Institute
shall slways be chosen from the mem
bers of said church, in connection with
the general assembly of said Presbyter
ian church in the U. S. of America.
rroviaeo always and expressly con
ditioned that if at any time the said
corporation shall be dissolvod through
default of said Presbytery of Oregon
for any cause whatever, or the said
Institution shall cease to be under the
supervision and control of the Presby
tery of Oregon in connection with the
general asaembly, etc.. then this con
veyance shall cease and determine as to
the board of trustees aforesaid, and the
said described premises with the appur
tenances shall become tho property of
tho general assembly of the Presbyterian
church of the United States of America
for the uses and purposes horein set
forth, and no other. Provided always
that the premises herein described shall
never be Bold or conveyed to ony relig
ious denomination not herein named
without the written consent of the the
grantors herein. Signed by Thomas
Monteitti and Christine M. Monteith,
with W. N. Snidur and Geo. R. liclin
as witneosses.
Synopsis of opinion:
Thero is nothimr in the answer that
indicates that either of ihe defendants
has any interest in any of the property
described in the complaint.
more ib notning to indicate tnut it is
intended by the grantors of the deed
that there should ever under any cir
cumstances be a reversion of the prop
erly to tne grantors or their heirs, ine
fee passed from them forever.
The answer fails to allege facts to
show that the conveyance was on any
condition, and there is nothing that can
be construed as a condition.
If there is anv condition in the deed
it is a condition subsequent and not a
condition precedent.
if there is a doubt the courts are in
clined to hold that a provision is a cov
enant rauior tnan a condition.
The provision Bhows a trust, whi n
thus far has been carried out.
There is nothing in the deed to pre.
vent the plaintiff from selling the prop
erty, excepting Ino provision ('riat it
shall not be sold to any other religious
budy without tho consent of the gront-
aiio plaintiffs have the right to
sell to anv one but a reliirious organi
zation, but tho proceeds of the sale will
be impressed with the trust, and must
be used for the college.
Therefore it is tho opinion nf the
