1765. He began at once the instruction OF a
few pupils at his private residence at Warren,
where the first commencement was held in
!I69, the graduating class numbering mem
6ers In ITO, after quite a local contest, the
institution was permanently established at
Providence. From its foundation TO the year
i777 there We're GO graduates in all From
that time to 1882 the regular exercises were
interrupted by the war, the college building
being occupied by the State militia, and by the
french troops under Rochambeau, as a hos
pital. In 1852 a class Of members was
graduated, and in 1888 another class Of 6. The
next class was that of 1885, with 10 members
In 1850, the graduates numbered %, in 1902,
70, and in 1908, 33. The largest class ever
graduated was one Of as members, in 1929.
Durlng the last few years, the average num-
Der has been about 40. III
In l786 President Manning was elected to
congress, but his connection with the college
9ld oN not terminate until his death, in 1871. In
lI92 the Rev. Jonathan Maxoy, d. D., was
elected President, retaining the position until
Ieoz, when he succeeded President Edwards at
enion college. He subsequently became the
nrst PRESIDENT Of the College of South Carolina
az columbia. From 1902 to 1926 the Rev. Asa
IMesser, ID. d., LII. D., filed the Presidency.
Ihese were prosperous days for the institution,
rendered especially so by the liberal donations
VI sne non, Nicholas Brown, a graduate,
grattude for this timely aid the college was
honored with his name
From 1927 to 1855 the celebrated divine
Francis Wayland, ID. D., LID, occupied the
Pre- sidential chair, and during his term of
office materially improved the course of study.
His services in the cause of universal educa-
ton are too well known to need recapitulation
here. In 1855 the Rev. Barnas Sears, d. D.,
LID, became President retaining the posi-
ton until few months since, when he
resigned, to become President of the Board of
Irus .es Of the Peabody Southern Educa-
tional Fund. His successor has not yet been
chosen, the Rev. DR.. Anderson, President of
Rochester University, to whom the position
was rendered, having declined it.
The Institution is now one of the most
prosperous minor colleges in the United
States. few years ago, 5000, 600 we're given
by citizens of Providence towards its further
endowment, and since then movement has
Teen in progress for increasing it by an addi-
tion of $500, 600 more. The library, contain
ing $4,000 volumes, is one of the best college
libraries in the country, and is being con
tinually enlarged by the proceeds of a fund Of
S25, 600, established for this purpose ia 1889.
The general catalogue published in 1866 con-
tains the names of 2266 graduates, of whom 947
were then deceased, and 1919 still living.
During the past two years, the number of
students has been as follows:- s a-.>

Department of Arts

An earnest effort is now being made by the
authorities of the University to extend the
sphere of its usefulness. With that object in
view, important notifications have been made
during the past year in the course OF study,
and the New England system of long
reviews of the studies of the year, fol-
lowed by thorough and detailed examina-
tions, adopted. The project of removing the
Academic Department to suburban locality
is also being discussed. The removal of the
Law and Medical Departments from the centre
of the city would sadly interfere with their
success, so that it is proposed to retain them
in their present location. AS preliminary to
the removal of the Academic Department, it is
proposed TO raise $500, 600 as new endowment,
and until the subscription for this is fairly
under way, no definite steps can be taken by
the Trustees in the matter. The project is
being actively canvassed, and it is to be hoped
that within short time the measure will
assume a tangible form. If the University
should be SO fortunate as to secure this in
crease in its present endowment, it would be
able to erect in convenient locality near the
city such buildings as would be rendered ne
cessary by the proposed extension in its
courses of study. These last contemplate the
establishment of department in which those
more practical studies which are so rapidly
becoming popular will be taught, while the
regular Academic course as at present consti-
tuted will remain unchanged.
Brown University,
the principal educational institution of the
Baptist denomination in this country, was
chartered by the General Assembly of Rhode
Island in 1764 Until the year 1904 it bore
the title of the College of Rhode Island, which,
in that year, was changed to Brown Univer-
sity, by virtue of provision in the charter
empowering the trustees and fellows to give 1t
more particular name, ''in honor Of the great
est and most distinguished benefactor." 1t
was indebted for its origin to the personal exer-
tions of the Rev. James Manning, Baptist
clergyman of New Jersey, who, in 1903, visited
Newport for the purpose of securing in behalf
of projected College in the interests OF ms
denomination, the aid of certain prominent
Baptsts who were then connected with the
Colonial Government. Its founders desired
that the institution might forever remain
| under the paramount control OF the baptlst
persuasion, and hence it was provided thaI
they should enjoy a predominance In the
| Board of Trustees. The President was also
required to be of that faith, but no restrictions
were placed on the choice Of the remaining
| officers, and several other denominations nave
| always been represented in the Board OF lfus-
/ tees. II was, moreover, provided IN the
| charter ''that into this liberal and catholc IN
| stitution shall never be admitted any rellgious
tests, but, on the contrary, all the members
shall forever enjoy full, free, absolute, and un-
interrupted liberty Of conscience"
Manning's services were properly recOg-
nized by his selection ss President In the year
