THE undersigned, a Committee of the CoRPORATION to prepare and publish a Calendar of Trinity College, Hartferd, for the current year, lmve ananged and put forth the present work; which they trust will in some degree meet the objects of its compilation. The purpose of an annual Calendar of this kind is, to exhibit, at one view, the actual condition of the whole academical Society. A series of such publications thus becomes a history of the progress of such a Soci­ ety; and enables all its memuers to understand minute­ ly its wants and its circumstances. It will be seen, then, that it.. is desirable that a copy should be kept by every member of the College. It is presumed that, in a first issue of this kind, some inaccuracies will be discovered; and, in order that the Calendar of the succeeding year may be more perfect, the Committee would be happy to receive any necessary information, directed to the President.

TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD.

TmNITY CoLLEGE, HARTFORD, is an academic Soci­ ety, of which the control is vested in a ConPORA'rioN, known in law by the style or title of The Trustees of Trinity College. The design of a College in New England, connected with the Church of tl~e inother-country, and so far as possible modelled after its celebrated Universities, originated with the excellent BERKELEY,, Bishop of Cloyne, who with this view purchased an estate, and resided for some time in Rhode Island. Though he was compelled reluctantly to relinquish his project, it was n~verthe~ess not eutirely without fruits. To his example -.and benefactions may be traced much of that interest in sound learning and Christian education which led to the first efforts for the establishment of a similar institution in Connecticut. A Convocation of the Clergy of the Diocese, held in 1792, under SEABURY, first Bislwp of Connecticut, took tbe primary steps towards establishing the Episco­ pal Academy at Cheshire; and this, though incorpo­ rated with limited privileges, was intended as the foundation for a higher institution, so soon as a charter conferring full collegiate powers could be obtain,ed from

/ 8 the State. It was often styled familiarly Tl•e Seabury College. Bishop BROWNELL, who succeeded to the Episcopate 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 L egislature, the name of the Co11ege was changed to its present style, to attest forever the faith of its founders, and their zeal for the perpetual glory and honour of the ONE HoLY AND UNDIVIDED TRINITY.

To this brief History must be added some account of the internal organization and condition of the Co11ege. The SENATUS AcADEMicus consists of two houses, known as the CoRPORATION and the HousE oF CoNvo­ CATION. The CoRPORATION, on which the other house is whol­ ly dependent, and to which, by law, belongs the supreme control of the Co11ege, consists of not more than twen­ ty-four Trustees, resident within the State of Connecti­ cut; the President of the College being ex officio one of the number, and 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 9 exercise the powers of a Collegiate Society, according to the provisions of the charter. THE HousE OF CoNvocATION consists of the Fel­ lows and Professors of Trinity College, with all per­ sons who have received any academic degree whatever in the same, except such as have been lawfully de­ prived 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 fur its own regulation; proposing plans, measures or counsel to the Corporation ; and to instituting, endowing and naming, with concurrence of the same, professorships, scholarships, prizes, medals, and the like. The CHANCELLOR and VISITOR. Such are the titles, under \~' hich supervisory powers, with special reference to the moral and religious interests of the academical body, are entrusted to the Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut. The PRESIDENT. This officer, as his title imports, is the resitlent head and Rector of the College, and the Executive of all laws for the discipline of UIH1er-gradu­ ates. The FELLows. There are six Fellows appointed by the Corporation alone, and six Junior Fellows, who must be Masters of Arts, appointed by the Corporation .. 10

on 11omination 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 statutes and di~cipline; of the library, cabinet, chapel, halls, grounds, collegi­ ate dress, and the like; and also certain powers and privileges in recommending for degrees. Each Fel­ low and Junior Fellow is elected for three years; but there is no emolument connected with the office, be­ sides a provision for necessary expenses incurred iu its discharge. The Fellows therefore, under e~isting laws, are not ordinarily resident. The DEAN OF CoNVOCATION presides in that House, and is elected by the same, from year to year. The PRoFESSORS hold their appointments from the Corporation, and by lectures and otherwise, instruct in their several departments. vVith the President and Tutors, they alsO'form a board of government and con­ trol over the under-graduates. Tll"TORS and LECTURERS are appointed from time to time by the Corporation to assist the professors in sev­ eral departments of instruction. Private Tutors have no recognized character as officers of the College. ScuoLARSliiPS. 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. HALLs. There are three buildings belonging to the 11

College, which in 1845, received the name of the first three Bishops of the Diocese. SEABURY-HALL, erected in 18 ~5 , contains the Chapel, and the Library, Cabi­ net,anu other public chambers. JARVIS-HALL, erected in the same year, and BRoWNELL-HALL, erected in 1845, contain rooms for the officers and students; and one of the wings of the latter is the residence of a Pro­ ' fessor and his family. The GRoUNDS, on which the halls are erected, are an area of fourteen acres, laid out with walks, and orna­ mented 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 partly situa­ ted; and on the other the Little River (a branch of the Connecticut,) which forms theit· western boundary. This river is suitable for boating and for exercise in swimming. TrrE LIBRARY AND CABINET. There are three thou­ sand volumes belonging to the College, arranged in alcm·cs, and occupying a room in Seabury-Hall, in which are also the portraits of sevet·al officers and ben­ efactors of the College. There arc also two libraries belonging to societies of under-graduates, containing an aggregate of six thousand volumes. The cabinet is an extensive collection of minerals and geological speci­ mens. A ·valuable pl~ilosopltical appamtus is distributed through the lecture-rooms of the seyeral professors re­ quiring its aiel in their instructions. TERMS. There are three terms in the year, of from 12 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 T erm, 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. VACATION. The Christmas vacation is two weeks from the Thursday preceding Christmas day. The Easter vacation, four weeks from the Thursday before the 12th of April. The Long Vacation is seven weeks from Commencement day. CoMMENCEMENT. The first Thursday in August is Commencement day. On the day precedir.g, the Cor­ poration and House of Convocation assemble, and an address and poe~ are publicly pronounced before the latter. There are also academical exercises publicly performed by the Junior Sophisters in the evening. On this day all applications for degrees ad eundem must be made to Convocation; and the annual elections of Fellows and Junior Fellows are usually held on this Jay, or on the morning following. On Commencement-day, candidates for degrees perform appointed exercises in public; and all degrees are con­ ferred and announced with prescribed forms. DEGREES. The Corporation is authorized by its cbartet· to confer degrees in the Arts, and in the facul- 13 ties of Law, Medicine and Divinity. Nominations for degrees may come from the Fellows and Professors, or from the House of Convocation; but the candidates are admitted only by vote of the Corporation ; and aU degrees are publicly conferred in its name, by the Presi­ dent. Degrees in the faculties of Divinity and Law are conferred, at present, on 1y lwnoris causa, or on ad missions ad eundem. For the degree of Bachelor of Arts, the candidate must have sustained all his examinations, 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. The candiuates for the degree must have perfon11ed their prescribed exercises; and it is desirable tha_t the President should have received application before the annual meeting of the Fellows. The ri~bt to nominate for admission acl eundem is ex­ clusively the privilege of the Convocation.

During the Senior year, Lectures are delivered on the application of Science to the Arts ; on Anatomy, Physiology, Natural History and the general principles of Law. Much attention is also given to English Lit­ erature, with frequent exercises in Composition and Declamation. Instruction in Modern Languages will be at the ex­ pense of the student. The instruction given in the preceding course of _studies, is designed to be such as will promote habits of patient and accurate investigation. For this purpose, in the study of the ancient languages, particular attention 48 is paid to their grammatical construction, to the compo­ sition and derivation of words; and the translations, especially towards the beginniug of the course, are re­ quired to be as literal as the idiom of our langu3ge will permit. As the student advances, more freedom of translation is permitted, though in no case is he allowed to deviate from the exact meaning of his author, which he is required to express with clearness, precision and elegance. ln Mathematics, and the English studies generally, the most approved text boolcs are used, and the student is required to give an accurate analysis ofthe rf?asoning of his author. After the recitation is completed, remarks are made by the instructor on the principles recited, and their practical application shown by familiar illustra­ tions. Lectures are also read on subjects connected with the main branches of study.

PARTIAL COURSE. For the accommodation of those students who wish to attend to a portion only of the studies laid down in the regular course, the following provision has been made in the College Statutes. Students who do not propose to attend the whole course, may be permitted to recite with the regular classes, in such studies as, upon examination, they shall be found qualified to pursue. They shall enjoy all the privileges of the regular students, and shall be entitled to a certificate from the President, stating the time they 49 were m~mbers of the College, and the studies pursued during the time.*

GOVERNMENT AND DISCIPLINE. The Government is administered by the President and Professors. It is designed to be mild and paternal-ap­ pealing to the better feelings of the heart, and aiming to prevent, rather than punish misconduct. Punish­ ments involving public disgr~ce are resorted to with reluctance. If a student does not conduct himself to the satisfaction of the Faculty, his parent or guardian will be promptly informed of it, and if it is judged nece~sary, requested to remove him from the Institu­ tion. In cases where despatch is important, the delin­ quent will be privately dismissed. An accurate daily account of the delinquencies of every student, and also of his proficiency in hi~ studies, is kept; an abstract of which is transmitted to his parent or guardian at the close of each term.

• The partial course is intended for students who are designed for pursuits in which o. knowledge of the classics is less important U1an in the learned profes­ sjons. Care has been taken o to arrange the studies, that a student v..t1o enters this cour£e with a knowledge of Plane Geometry and Algebra, equal to that acquired b.Y the students of the regular course during the Freshman year, may complete, 1n two years, the whole 1\fathemutical ana English course: comprising Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry and its applif·A.lions 10 mensunllion, naviga­ tion and surveymg; Analytic Geometry, Natural Philosophy, Optics, Astronomy, Rhetoric.Elen.ents of Cnticism, <.:hemistry, Political Econon.y, Moral and lntel­ lecttml Philo~OJiby, Lo:ric, Butler's Anuln~y of Natural and J~ evealerl 'Heligton, and Kent's CommenrarieA on Llle Law of Nations, and the <.:onstitmion and Judi­ ciary of the United B-tates. Should the student be unable to devote rr:ore than one year to study, he coulrl, in that time, mall:e himself acquainted with the following studies: Rhe!Oric, Chemistry, Elements of Criticism, Politicul Economy, Logic, l\lorul and Intel­ lectual Philosophy, Kent's Comment~ries, or Butler's Analogy ; and also attend lbo Lectures delivered to the Senior class. 5
