The committee of ten met in convention (with fifty members from Illinois and Wisconsin) and affirmed the purpose of a college.

The evidence

• “A committee of ten was appointed to consider and report at a future convention. This met in October, 1844, with fifty members from Illinois and Wisconsin, affirmed the purpose of a college, but deferred action. A third convention, numbering sixty-eight, met in May, 1845, and after earnest and prayerful discussion, with only one dissenting vote, located the college in Beloit.”
