acqimitkfri of the lately jpurcnased buildings , and on other accobnfs , the state of the § ral funds * of the ' cbltege would not ' t of tfie a ^ JpropriaHSfr , * his year , of tha # one half of " thetf amount . pUr € Ka&e ^ alluded to hats 6 feen made

The trustees have been greatly indebted to the uhrerhitted attention of
Mr . Thomas Smith , of York , who has , in the most judicious manner , and with the utmost attention to economy , superintended the alterations which have this year been made .- ^—The subscript ion-list is considerably enlarged , through the activity and zeal of the deputy-treasurers : and the congiegational collections a little
exceed the amount of the last year . This mode of providing for the exigencies of the college , appears to the trustees particularly desirable , as it affords an opportunity to the several ministers , not only of extending the knowledge of this particular institution , but also of directing
the attention of our societies , and particularly of the younger part of them , to . the principles of religious liberty ^ and to the exercise of individual inquiry and jujd ^ mefit ^ On these accounts the trustees are * desirous to return their thanks
to those ministers who have already preached sermons for the benefit of this institution j and they beg leave to recommend a similar measure to the attention of other ministers and congregations throughout the kingdom .-7-The business
of this institution is distributed among three tutors . The Rev John Ken / icjc , M : \ A- gives ^ lectures on the Greek and Bpraan classics , on the principles of grahjgiar , and on ancient and modern : history , " and superintends the exercises of tBe ^ sCtidents of the -first three years in
