Candidates will mention their standing, as Resident Graduates or Undergraduates; and if Undergraduates, of what class. The performances must be in the hands of the President by the end of June.

The first premium is thirty dollars, or a gold medal of that value-and the second twenty dollars, or a gold medal of that value.

The prizes in 1815, were assigned in July last as follows:A second premium to Thomas Savage, A. B. for a Dissertation on the question, "Whether the Greek Article be used with so much precision by the writers of the New Testament, that inferences may be drawn from it in favour of important doctrines."

The Corporation, with the assent of the Overseers, have invited the co-operation of the friends of the College, in their design to extend the means of Theological education at the University.

Vol. II. No. 5. 36

THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

The Corporation of Harvard College have thought it their duty, to adopt measures for increasing the means of Theological Education at the University. In order to enable Students in Divinity to reap the benefit of the eminent advantages which the College possesses for this purpose, there is need of funds for assisting meritorious Students of limited means to reside in Cambridge for a requisite time :-Of one or more Professors, whose attention may be exclusively given to this class of students; and of a separate building.

The Corporation are disposed and determined to apply the resources of the college to this object, as far as other indispensable claims admit. But these resources being entirely incompetent to the accomplishment of their views, they feel it incumbent upon them to call upon the Friends of the University, and of the Christian Ministry, to co-operate with them in this interesting design.

As the best method of obtaining the assistance of the liberal and pious, it is proposed to form a Society "for the education of candidates for the ministry in Cambridge University." All persons who shall subscribe five dollars a year shall be members, and continue such so long as they shall pay the said annual sum: -Clergymen paying two dollars a year to be considered as members.

All persons subscribing One Hundred Dollars to be considered members of the said society for life. Subscriptions for smaller sums, either as annual payments or as donations, will be thankfully received.

Whilst annual and life subscriptions are desired, it is hoped, that affluent friends of the College, and of the Churches, will by donations and bequests, do justice to the noble objects of Christian munificence here presented.

The Corporation are induced to believe, that a large number of persons in the metropolis and in various parts of this Commonwealth will view this invitation with favour;-as an occasion for doing what many of them have anxiously wished to see accomplished.

Thinking the importance of the subject gives it a claim to appear under respectable auspices, the Corporation have ventured to place on the Committees the names of a number of distinguished Sons and Friends of the University, who are requested to take charge of the papers for subscription.

Clergymen are not named on these Committees, being considered as engaged by the nature of their office to afford their assistance, and being separately desired in their respective congregations and circles to promote the pious design.
