Every North Carolinian should use his exertions to avert this calamity;—and especially, should every one so exert himself, who has accepted and who continues to hold the trust of taking care that "all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one or more Universities."</p> <p>I have called a meeting of the whole <name key="name0000107" reg="Board of Trustees" type="organization">Board of Trustees</name>, to be held in this office on Thursday, the 22nd day of August next.
