north aud south, and 1l3 feet east and west,
Its principal front is to be on Nolcott street,
although the other sides present fronts hardly
less ornate than this one. In its general plan
it is 60 arranged that the centre rcccdes from
the front line Of the wings, on tho west front;
and this arrangement is reversed on the cast
front, where there arc also porticos connect
ing the wings and the centre. There are three
entrances In the west front {aboye the base
n1ent), ono Of which is IN elegant carriage
porch; three in the east and Que In each Of
the north and south fronts. These latter are
through elegant towers, one Of which rises to
an elevation Of about 10 feet

the use Of the students.
The building is to be thoroughly lighted
and ventilated, and will be arranged with
many necessary conyenienccs, in the shape Of

1t is in the Renaseent style Of architecture;
and owing to its irregularity of plan as we'll
rs OF elevation, it presents q variety of parts
and pfcturesqueness in it's general exterior
appearance rarely cqualcd in this country.
The whole docs credit to its designer, 6. P.
Randall, esq, Of this city, whose reputation
