" The undersigned, members of the Detroit ministerial unión, taxpayers for the support of our state institiitions and othere, believcr in the Clr.ïstian religión, desire to place on record their convictions relating to the alleged attacks on religiou in the medical department of the state university ; and this we do without any desire to sit in judgment in a particular case, or to interfere with the legal adniinitration of affairs, or to prevent lawful freedomof utterancc of opinión. We respectfully represent: 1. That the University of Michigan was founded and supported froni the beginning vcry largely by Cliristian men and by revered men of tha! ministerial profession who, it is publicly afflrmed,are assailed with contemptuous and hostile language. 2. That the Uuivcrsity is now supported by a state the mnjority of whose peoplc regard the Christian religión as sacred, and this without any dtsire to see a i-ectarlan control of its atFairs. 3. 'J h;it nmny of the students in the Univen-iiy.if lectures hostile to Christianity areperiuitted by the Hiithoiïties,would be comptlled to listen to what they must regard as otfcnsi ve an intulting or go elscwhere for educatiou,and that itisunmanly and unfalr to take advantage of them by attacklng their faith under cover of a scientifio lecture. 4 That, whaterer may be the personal belief or unbelief of a teacher of natural scieure, his duty in the medical department of the State University does not juire hlra to go out of hls way to oxpress his antagonlsm to the faith of tlie luajority of thn people of this State. 5.
