To his example snefactions may be traced much of that interest nd learning and Christian education, which led first efforts for the establishment of a similar ion in Conncticut. co nyocation of the Clergy of the Diocese, held 92, under Suazury, first Bishop of Connecticut, e primary steps toward establishing the Episco- vademy at Cheshire; and this, though incorpo- with limited Dleced was intended as the ion for a higher institution, so soon as a char- ter conferring full collegiate powers could be obtained from the State. It was often styled familiarly The Seabury College. Bishop Browne tu, who succeeded to the Episcopate wae," 6 in 1819, was enabled very shortly to perfect these de- signs. The charter of Washington College was grant- ed in 1823; and in the following year the institution was opened at Hartford, under the presidency of the Bishop. In 1845, by permission of the Legislature, the name of the College was changed to the present style, to at- test forever the faith of its founders, and their zeal for the perpetual glory and honor of the One Hony. anp Unpivipep Triniry. ed gD 2 To this brief history must be added some account of the internal organization and condition of the College. The Senatus AcapEmicus consists of two houses, known as the Corroration and the Hovsrt or Con- VOCATION. The Corporation, on which the other house is wholly dependent, and to which, by law, belongs the supreme control of the College, consists of not more than twenty-four trustees, resident within the State of Connecticut; the Chancellor and President of the College being ex offictis members, and the Chancellor being ex officio President of the same. They have authority to fill their own vacancies; to appoint to offices and professorships ; to direct and manage the funds for the good of the College; and in general, to exercise the powers of a Collegiate Society, according to the provisions of the charter. The House or Convocation consists of the Fel- lows and Professors of Trinity College, with all per- sons who have received any academic degree whatever ——___—_mr! 7 in the same, except such as may lawfully be deprived of their privileges. Its business is such as may from time to time be ‘delegated by the Corporation, from which it derives its existence; and is, at present, limited to consulting and advising for the good of the College; nominating the Junior Fellows, and all candidates for admission ad eundem ; making laws for its own regulation ; propos- ing plans, measures or counsel to the Corporation ; and to instituting, endowing and naming, with concurrence of the same, professorships, scholarships, prizes, med- als, and the like. The Cuanceuior is the Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut, and is also the Visitor of the College. The Presipent. This officer, as his title imports, is the resident head and Rector of the College, and with the Proctors, who'are the two senior Professors, the Executive of all laws for the discipline of under- graduates. The Fettows. ‘There are six Fellows appointed by the Corporation alone; and six Junior Fellows, who must be Masters of Arts, appointed by the Corporation on nomination of Convocation; and these together make the Board of Fellows. To this Board the Cor- poration commits the superintendence of the strictly academical business of the College; of the course of study and examinations; of the College laws; of col- legiate dress, and the like; and also certain powers and privileges in recommending for degrees. Each Fellow and Junior Fellow is elected for three years ; but there is no emolument connected with the office, besides a provision for necessary expenses incurred in its discharge. ‘The Fellows, therefore, under existing laws, are not ordinarily resident. The Dean or Convocation presides in that House, and is elected by the same biennially. The Proressors hold their appointments from the _ Corporation, and by lectures and otherwise, instruct in their several departments. With the President and Tutors, they also form a board of government and control over the under-graduates. Turors and Lecturers are appointed from time to time by the Corporation, to assist the Professors in the several departments of instruction. Private Tutors have no recognized character as officers of the College. Scuotarsuips. These are permanent endowments, held by certain under-graduates according to the terms of their foundation, and paying stipends of different amounts to their incumbents. Haus. ‘There are three buildings belonging to the College, which, in 1845, received the names of the first three Bishops of the Diocese. Srtaspury Haut, erected in 1825, contains the Chapel and the Library, Cabinet, and other public chambers. Jarvis Hau, erected in the same year, and Browne. Haut, erected in 1845, contain rooms for the officers and students; and a wing of each is the residence of a Professor and his family. ‘'he Grounps, on which the Halls are erected, are an area of fourteen acres, laid out with walks, and ornamented with shade-trees and shrubbery. The site is elevated, overlooking on one side the city of Hartford, within the limits of which the grounds are situated, and on the other the Little River, (a branch of the Connecticut,) which forms their western bound- ary. ‘The river is suitable for boating and for exercise in swimming. The Lisrary anp Casinet. There are about six thousand volumes in the Library in Seabury Hall; in g which are also the portraits of several officers and ben- efactors of the College. ‘There are two libraries belong- ing to the societies of under-graduates, containing an aggregate of six thousand volumes. The cabinet is an extensive collection of minerals and geological speci- mens, to which has just been added an extensive collection of shells. A valuable philosophical apparatus is distributed through the lecture -rooms of the several Professors requiring its aid in their instructions. Terms. ‘There are three terms in the year, of from twelve to fourteen weeks each; during which every under-graduate is required to be resident, unless under special dispensation from the President. Examinations.. ‘These are held at the end of each term, in presence of examiners appointed by the Fel- lows, from their own number or otherwise ; and every under-graduate is required to be present and sustain his prescribed examinations at such times, unless a special examination is allowed for sufficient causes. Vacations. The Christmas vacation is two weeks from the Thursday preceding Christmas day. The Easter vacation is three weeks from the close of Lent term. ‘lhe Midsummer vacation is eight weeks from Commencement day. Exuisirions. Junior Exhibition occurs at the close of Lent term; exhibitions of the literary societies, at such times as are deemed most convenient. Commencement. ‘The third Thursday in July is Commencement day. On the day preceding, the Corporation and House of Convocation assemble, and an address and poem are publicly pronounced before the latter. On this day all applications for admis- sions ad eundem come before Convocation; and the annual elections of Fellows and Junior Fellows are co) 10 usually held on this day, or on the morning following, On Commencement day, candidates for degrees per- form appointed exercises in public; and all degrees are conferred and announced with prescribed forms. Decrexes. The Corporation is authorized by its charter to confer degrees in the Arts, and in the facul- ties of Law, Medicine and Divinity. Nominations for degrees may come from the Fellows and Profes- sors, or from the House of Convocation; but the can- didates are admitted only by vote of the Corporation, and all degrees are publicly conferred in its name, by the President. Degrees in the faculties of Divinity and Law are conferred, at present, either in course, honoris causa or on admission ad eundem. For the degree of Bachelor of Arts, the candidate must have sustained all his ex- aminations, and paid all fees and charges; and must be nominated to the Corporation by the Fellows and the Faculty of Arts. To proceed Master of Arts, a like nomination is requisite at a period of not less than three years after commencing Bachelor. Masters may proceed Bachelors in either of the Faculties, at the end of seven years, upon the certificate of the Board of Fellows, grounded on examination and the iy recommendation of the Chancellor and the President of the College. Bachelors in either of the Faculties may proceed Doctors in the same, at the expiration of three years, on the recommendation of the Chancellor, accompanied with a certificate of examiners, and a satisfactory thests composed by the candidate. De- grees honoris causd appertain to the Corporation only, Applications for degrees in course, must be made to the President of the College during Lent term. Gorporation. Rt. Rev.
