In this letter to Mr. N. Hinman, the Chairman of Board of Trustees of Pacific University in Oregon, John A. Hamilton writes on behalf of the American College and Education Society in Boston. He discusses "the loosing of Pacific University from Congregational moorings" and "the grave issue" of "the speedy coming into existence of a competing Congregational Institution." He suggests a solution: "Let the Trustees pass the provision for Change of Charter which the Statute law of the State offers." Mr. Hamilton also advises that the University not relocate, as a railroad may be constructed nearby. Typewritten letter, signed by hand.
