The directors of tbo Union Theological seminary met nealn this morning to confer with the coniinitteo from the general assembly regarding the disap proval of I'rof. Briggs' appointment to n chair in the seminary. At 12:30 : the confer ence took a recess for un hour. Although all present refused to divulge the proceedings , it Is understood the directors of the seminary nro ns faithful as over to Briggs. When the conference adjourned tonight the proceedings of the two days' session wuro made public. The directors of the seminary have maintained their allegiance to Prof. Bviges , whose election to the chair of biblical theology was vetoed by tbo general assembly. The two days' session resulted In n great deal of talk , but the matter Is unsettled , with indications very unfavorable to any near set tlement yet. Dr. Hastings , on behalf of the seminary directors-road the statement , in which the board says : " \Vo recommend that in order to prevent future misconception of tbo interests of the board In this matter the following minute bo entered upon our record. Inasmuch as there appears to bo in some quarters a misconception of the meanIng - Ing nnd intentof the action of of .he board taken in li TO , whereuy nil appointments of professors were to bo reported to the general assembly , and , further , m-ovlding that no such appointment should bo consid ered fis ti complete election if disapproved - approved by a majority vote of the assembly and board , would hereby record its conviction that the said action of 1S70 was then understood by this board to roler to the election of additional members of the faculty and not to the appointment to new departments of Instruction of professors already in olllco or to their transfer trom 0110 chair to another as may seem expedient to the board. The assembly committee then caticusscd and made this response : Whereas. President IIistinis : , representing the directors communicated to this commit- teothut the directors reserved the right to determine this question hereafter , anil at the siuno time expressed the readiness of the directors in hear views on common subjects , therefore this coinm tteo states that the gen eral assembly his : always regarded the .said agreement or arrangement ns blndlni ; . loyally or morally , nuon both pai'llo * lo tbo simo : , and It desires to know the views of the direc tors upon tbo fundamental point , for If tbo . iTcement or nrraiiKement Is not legally or morally Dindlirj on notn parties it is or no practical use to dismiss wli it Is the true con struction of the said arrangement or agree ment. The directors withdrew from the confer ence after the document had been read , and after un hour's ' deliberaolon committed this reply : Whereas. Tlio question has been raised by the committee jf tbo general assembly now In conference with this board ns to the attitude of this board towards the arrangement of 1HTO. lie.solvod , That this board without surren dering Its Interpretation of .said arrangement fully recognl/.es Us hlndliu foruo until it .shall lo piovo.l to bo Illegal or shall bo prop erly abrogated.
