The Report is by the Congregational General Association of Illinois, protesting that Presbyterians have frozen out Congregationalists from the College's governance. The Report laments that the investigation was hampered by the "want of co-operation" by "our Presbyterian brethren;" and charges New School Presbyterians with a "design to Presbyterianize the College." At the time of the College's founding, "We were all full of love and union," with participation in equal numbers by Presbyterians and Congregationalists. The Report chronicles the unhappy changes in that condition. The Appendix includes the minutes of proceedings and testimony of witnesses before the Committee of Investigation.
