    each of whom occupies a separate apartment . The arrangement of tbe building is on a novel plan , and has given great satisfaction for its conveniences , while its retirement from the University and the village , and its keeping near each other those who are engaged in similar pursuits , are calculated to have a most favourable . influence on the habits and

    manners of the young men . At the same time , its vicinity to the University is such , that they may enjoy to the fullest extent the great advantages resulting from its extensive Library , from the public Lectures of its professors , and from habitual intercourse with men of enlarged minds

    and literary attainments . Some charitable foundations in the College for this object , together with a portion of the income of the theological funds and contributions from societies and individuals , give means of affording pecuniary aid to such students as require it .

    The instruction in the School is given by the Hollis Professor of Divinity , the Dexter Professor of Sacred Literature , the Hancock Professor of Hebrew , and a Teacher of the German language . There is an annual examination of all the

    classes in April by the Faculty , in presence of the Directors , and a public exhibition i « July . The School is also visited at times by a committee of the Directors , who have a constant general oversight of its affairs .

    During the three years which complete the regular course of instruction , it is intended , as far as possible , to accomplish the following objects , the means for effecting which are now provided : I . To make the student acquainted with the Hebrew language , so as to enable him to read the Old Testament

    critically , and to give him a general knowledge of the literary history of its several books ; of the arguments for and against their genuineness and authenticity > the facts and principles relating to the criticism of their text ; and of the various sources of their illustration , especially those to be found in the best commentators . During this course of instruction , particular attention is given to what is most remarkable iti the

    contents of the different books . II . To afford such instruction in the German language as will enable the » tudeut to make whatever proficiency in it he may desire , so as to have always at command this important key to biblical learning . III . To enable the student to obtain just views of the meaning and purpose of the several books of the New Testament ;
