The original Charter of 1754 empowers the Governors of Kings College, or the major part of them, "to elect, nominate and appoint any person to be president of the said College in a vacancy of the said presidentship for and during his good behaviour provided always such president elect or to be elected by them be a member of and in communion with the Church of England as by law established."It was apparently the plan of those who drafted this Charter that the President should himself be the chief teacher in the College, and that all other teachers were to be regarded as his assistants, since this provision immediately follows:"And also to elect one or more Fellow or Fellows Professor or Professors Tutor or Tutors to assist the President of the said College in the education and government of the students belonging to the said College which Fellow or Fellows Professor or Professors Tutor or Tutors and every one of them shall hold and enjoy their said office or place either at the will and pleasure of the Governors of the said corporation or during his or their good behaviour according as shall be agreed upon between such Fellow or Fellows Professor or Professors Tutor or Tutors and the said Governors of the said College."The Charter of 1787, granted by the Legislature of the State of New York, ratifies and confirms the Royal Charter of 1754, with the exception of certain named provisions of that Charter, including that which rendered a person ineligible to the office of president of the College on account of his religious tenets.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
