This is the age of prodigious enterprises
in every department ofhuman achievement:
and not Il whit behind the greatest is the
literally devised University which had its
birth two years ago in the city of Boston.
Isaac Rich, wealthy citizen and a gen
erous patronizer of education endowed the
institution to the sum OF nearly two million
dollars, on conditions which the incorpora-
tors have been able to meet and thus large
ly supplied with the requisite funds, and an
able board of trustees, success is sure.
The endowment, securely invested in
real estate and bonds, brings Il handsome
income which is not expended in brick and
mortcr, stately buildings, or ornamental
and colleges, but in securing the best talent
that can be found in this and foreign count
rics. The requisite lecture rooms and dor
mitores are hired at much less cost than
for which they could be built.
Under the most favorable auspices seven
departments have been opened; viz: One
preparatory, situated at E. Greenwich,
II. l., formerly East Greenwich Seminary
Two colleges college of Liberal Arts"
which opened at No. 20 Beacon St. Sept.
20, with class of twenty, four of whom
were ladies'. Rev. j. w. Lindsay d. D.,
is Dean of the Faculty. college of Mus
| ic." DIR. Ebcn Tourjee, Dean of Faculty,
has been in successful operation for year
past. 1t is the only musical college in this
country except department of the College
of Liberal Arts connected with Yale which
undertakes course of study somewhat sim
liar.
In addition to these are or-post-colc-
giatc professional schools.
Hon. Geo. S. billiard, LII. D., is Dean
ofthc School of Law, and has a long list of
eminent professors who assist him in making
this department the first law school in the
country. 1t graduated, last year twenty
two of u class of twenty-eght. Two of the
six who failed to pass the examination,
were soon admitted to the Suffolk Bar,
showing that the standard for graduation is
higher than the requirements of the courts.
A "School of Oratory," under the Dean
ship of Professor Lewis b. Munroc, the
most distinguished of his profession in the
country,
Both schools of medicine Alopathy, and
Homeopathy, have been admitted and or
ganized. Soon Boston, owing to this step
will stand side by side with Philadelphia
and New York in permitting both schools
to practice in her city hospitals, But the
oldest department of the University, is the
School of Theology, organized three years
ago under the new charter it having been
previously the Concord Biblical Institute.
Under its present regime it has been pro-
crossing and developing till it has attained
the cnviablc rank of the first in the coun-
try, for its advantages and clcarness of in
structon. OF the Faculty, we need say
nothing at present, except to remind the
public that Rev. DR.. Townsend, author of
"Credo" occupies one of the Professional
chairs, and Rev. DR.. Latmcr holds the
Deanship.
At the head of this Institution, as Pres
idcnt, is Rev. w. +. Warren ID. ID. prob
ably the first scholar of his age, in this
country indeed, he has no peer as a Ger
man student. As Theologian, h is the
first in rank in his denomination.
: Col. Il. w. lligginson in commenting the
opportunity of the co-cducation of the sexes
in this University he says: "Should its
prosperity mpovorish, and empty every
other College in Massachusetts they will
deserve the punishment, and their rival its
success.
No matter what they have effected other
wise, they have not done the duty that lay
nearest to them; for they have not admitted
women, and this younger institution, being
faithful, at least in this, may justly say To
them, 'Ths thou shouldst have done and
not have left the other undone.'
