The whole number of students during the year was six. The Assembly adopted the following minute: The Danville Seminary has been injuriously affected by the great national convulsion of the last five years to such an extent as to awaken deep solicitude for its continued prosperity and usefulness. The number of students has become so small that three of the four Professors have resigned, whilst the Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge, D.D., has signified his readiness to resign. Thus the question of a temporary suspension of the Seminary has become one of serious import. After mature deliberation your committee recommend that the Assembly request Dr. Breckinridge to retain his Professorship, to look after the interests of the Seminary, and endeavor to secure its more perfect endowment.
