I would prefer it to be of Ecclesiastical History but will leave the branch of Theologic study to be determined by the needs of the case. This Professorship must never be subject to any theologic test either as regards its Incumbent or the Students attending his or her instructions on pain of forfeiture of the Bequest. In which case it shall revert to my residuary heirs. The Theological School here meant is that consecrated by the memory of the Wares, Channing and Parker." And it was thereupon

Voted, that the bequest for the Frothingham Professorship in the Harvard Divinity School be gratefully accepted upon the terms named in the will of the Rev. FREDERICK FROTHINGHAM, and that the Treasurer or Deputy Treasurer be authorized to give a receipt for the money in such form as the executors may require.
