Visiting Committee to Shenandoah Institute (p. 18). We, your Visiting Committee to
Shenandoah Institute, beg leave to report the following: We were present at the examination of classes
of Shenandoah Institute during the closing week, June 10-17, 1886. We found the School in good
condition, and the promptness with which the questions were answered in the examinations showed that
great proficiency had been attained in the several studies. The records showed an increase of students
over the past years. Respectfully submitted, J. D. Donovan and W H. Sampsell, the Committee.
Other Business (pp. 18-19). J. N. Fries, Solomon Burtner, and Ephraim Ruebush were elected
trustees of Shenandoah Institute. S. K. Wine resigned the trusteeship of Shenandoah Institute, and W. J.
Miller was elected to fill the vacancy. The chair was ordered to appoint a visiting committee to
Shenandoah Institute. The following resolution was passed: We are much pleased with the work and
financial management of Shenandoah Institute, and pledge to it our support in securing students and
otherwise aiding the Institute. It was amended to assess to the charges a sum aggregating $100, the
secretary to make the assessment. It was ordered that money collected on special assessment be paid to
treasurer of Institute. C. H. Crowell and C. P. Dyche were appointed Visiting Committee to Shenandoah
Institute [1887 Minutes, p. 22]. Among the appointments announced at the end of Conference, Rev.
J. N. Fries was appointed Principal for Shenandoah Institute [Funkhouser 1921, p. 289].

Report of the Committee on Education (pp. 7-8). The cultivation of the physical, mental, and
moral faculties, is essential to every profession and calling in life. In every commercial and scientific
pursuit, education is of valued importance. How much more necessary is it to those who teach the truths
pertaining to eternal life, and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As light prevails over darkness and
strength over weakness, so does intelligence over ignorance. In proportion to our physical, mental, and
moral culture will be our increased power of good to men and glory to God; therefore, let us as ministers
endorse the cause of education by the following resolutions: (1) That we are pleased with the work and
progress of Union Biblical Seminary, the theological school of this Church, and recommend it to all
young men preparing for the ministry. (2) That we regret, as ministers, the over-looking of that
assessment in our minutes, and will endeavor, by earnest effort, to secure every dollar assessed to our
charges this year. (3) That, as a cooperative conference, we recognize Lebanon Valley College as a
school of the Church, in which we feel a special interest, and, in common with the other cooperative
Conferences, will do all that we can to advance its interest and success. (4) That we recommend the 2nd
