What is being said here is very ironic. Throughout the document, the author forwarded the idea of striving to obtain knowledge and utilizing it to better their society. But at the same time, they refuse to learn from "indigenous neighbours" and realize that their neighbors is not inferior, but maintain a lifestyle completely different from theres. They should act like educated individuals and learn rather than demean.

Although the establishment of the University was an effort to further the white population, the board provides hope for the application of education. Here, they highlight how education gives us the opportunity to act. They highlight how our intelligence is not fixed. We can always improve. This also give hope to the fact that education should not be racial, because any human has the ability to improve their education. The board let their ignorance blind them from what should be really taken into account.

These lines show the racism the University was built on. Upon constructing the university, the board acted on benefiting the white population. By the establishment of the university, we see a little insight as to why there was tension when it comes to the admittance of the first black students on the university.
