April 4, 1896

We the undersigned agree to the following:

l.  That J. Hopwood acting as president of Miligan College shall 
associate with himself in the business and local management of the 
college  J. P. McConnell as joint principal of the school.  That 
the two cooperate for the increase of the patronage and efficiency 
of the school.  That each one may transact business separately or 
take counsel as it seems best or as opportunity may afford and all 
contracts that either one makes shall be equally binding on the 
business firm.  

     The matters of school discipline when J. Hopwood is present 
at the college any final appeal must be made to him.  When he is 
absent from the college such appeal is made to J. P. McConnell.  
In the management of the young ladies at the home.  In the absence 
of the president, Mrs. Hopwood has the full control.   J. Hopwood 
may be absent from the school as much as three or four months of 
the session if he chooses or the interests of the school seem 
thereby advanced.

     When present he is to hear three or four classes.  Mrs. 
Hopwood is to hear only three classes or four when urgent 
necessity requires it.  

     Said J. Hopwood and J. P. McConnell are to pay all expenses 
of the school and divide the remainder of the tuition funds 
between them equally.  This agreement is to continue one year or 
longer if the partyies both so elect or the length of the contract 
may be increased at any time during the year if they so elect.

     J. P. McConnell is to teach six or seven classes according 
the necessity of the school and the pressure of business on him.

     There is to be kept a set of books in which at the close of 
each week are to be recorded the transactions of both J. Hopwood 
and J. P. McConnell so far as said transactions are connected with 
the financial management of Milligan College.
