TOUCEY SCHOLARSHIPS.

These are four in number, founded in 1868, by the Hon. Isaac Toucey, LL.D. They yield $300 each per annum, and are assigned, after a competitive examination, to students who are studying with a view to the

Holy Ministry. The founder, by making the College the trustee of another fund, has enabled it to appoint the holders of these Scholarships to Scholarships of equal value in the Berkeley Divinity School.

SCHOLARSHIPS OF THE CHURCH SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY.

The Church Scholarship Society of the Diocese of Connecticut aids a few students with loans, not exceeding $100 per annum, which are granted only to persons in necessitous circumstances, preparing for Holy Orders, and sustaining a correct deportment as communicants. Applicants must be furnished with a testimonial of such qualifications, signed by a clergyman to whom they are personally known. The President of the College is President of the Executive Board of the Church Scholarship Society.

SCHOLARSHIPS OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE INCREASE OF THE MINISTRY.

This Society holds the Mark Warner fund, amounting to about $10,000, the income of which, under the conditions of the gift, is to be applied to young men, scholars of the Society, studying at Trinity College or the Berkeley Divinity School. The Society is also able to grant other scholarships, ranging in value from $100 to $300 per annum.

SCHOLARSHIP OF CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD.

This was founded in 1839, by J. Smyth Rogers, M.D., Professor of Chemistry. In 1845, in consideration of the subscription from the Parish for the erection of Brownell Hall, the endowment was increased. The right of nomination is vested in the Rector of Christ Church.

SCHOLARSHIP OF ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, TROY, N. Y.

This was founded in 1830, by members of the Parish whose name it bears. It is "for the benefit of pious and indigent young men, studying with a view to the Ministry in the Protestant Episcopal Church." The right of nomination is in the Rector, Wardens, and Vestry of St. Paul's Church, Troy.

HEARTT SCHOLARSHIP.

This was founded in 1830, and endowed by Philip Heartt, Esq., of Troy. It has the same object with the preceding Scholarship. The right of nomination was vested in Mr. Heartt during his lifetime; and afterward in the Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Connecticut; and during any vacancy in the Episcopate, devolves on the presiding officer of the College.

SCHOLARSHIPS OF THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING RELIGION AND LEARNING IN NEW YORK.

These are eight in number, and were founded in 1843, under an arrangement with the Society. They entitle the students by whom they are held to free tuition. The right of nomination is in the Society; and, in return, the College has the right to nominate, after free competition, to three scholarships in the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, entitling the holders to two hundred dollars a year and freedom from all Seminary charges.

SCHOLARSHIPS OF TRINITY CHURCH, NEW YORK.

These are five in number, and were founded in 1834, in consideration of the sum of $5,000, granted by the vestry of Trinity Church, New York, toward the endowment of the Hobart Professorship. The students by whom they are held are exempt from all charges for "tuition, room-rent, fuel for recitation-rooms, or other general objects."

THOMAS BACKUS SCHOLARSHIP.

This was founded in 1837, by the Rev. Stephen Jewett, M.A., to be held "by some beneficiary designing to enter the Ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church," and is of the value of one hundred dollars annually, for which the beneficiary is to give his obligation, payable with interest four years after he leaves the College. This scholarship yields no available income at present.

WILLIAM ALLEN MATHER SCHOLARSHIP.

This was founded in 1864, and endowed by Mrs. Jane C. Mather, of Hartford. The student by whom it is held is exempt from all charges for "tuition, room rent, fuel for recitation-rooms, or other general objects." The right of nomination to the Scholarship is in the hands of the founder.

KIRBY SCHOLARSHIP.

This was founded in 1872, and endowed by a legacy of Miss Harriet Kirby, of Hartford. It yields $300 per annum, and is to be held by some undergraduate who is studying with a view to Holy Orders. The right of nomination is vested in the Rector of St. John's Church,.Hartford; or, in case he fails to nominate, in the Corporation of the College.

BURHANS SCHOLARSHIP.

This Scholarship was founded by a bequest of the Rev. Daniel Burhans, D.D. The sum of $500 which he left to the College having accumulated by the addition of interest to $1,000, the interest on this last amount is now available in accordance with the terms of the legacy. The scholarship is to be held by "such candidate for Orders as shall be nominated from time to time by the Rector and Wardens of Christ Church, Hartford."

NOTE. No student, incurring a serious College censure in the course of the year, will be recommended for the continuance of any scholarship.

APPENDIX.

NEW GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS.

THE old Campus was sold to the city of Hartford in February, 1872, to be used as a site for the State-House. The College reserved the right to occupy the buildings and grounds until April, 1877; but it was agreed that the north dormitory (Brownell Hall) might be taken down if it should be found necessary to do so in order to accommodate the work on the Capitol. The north section of this building was taken down in April, 1873, and the middle section in August, 1875. The south section is still standing, and, it is understood, will not be disturbed until the final demolition of the whole pile in the summer of 1877.

In February, 1873, a new site, containing about seventy-eight acres, was purchased. It is included within the city limits, and is situated upon the slope of Rocky Hill, about one mile south of the old site, and one quarter of a mile west of the Retreat.

In the summer of the same year, Mr. W. Burges of London was employed to furnish plans for the new buildings; and in the autumn of that year, Mr. F. H. Kimball, a rising architect, was sent out to prepare, under Mr. Burges's direction, the working drawings required for the execution of these plans.

Upon his return in October, 1874, these drawings were submitted to the Trustees, and at their meeting on the 7th of November, called for the election of a President, they were entrusted to him as chairman of the Building Committee, with instructions to report upon them on the 5th of December. At that time the plans were recommitted for the purpose of introducing various alterations which it seemed desirable to make.
