strnctors These gentlemen simply un-
dertoek to carry out the theory OF the
constitution OF the Seminary, which
prescribes that they shall appoint and
conduct religious services for the ,livi-
nifty students, as we'll as impart instruc.
t!on to them. For various reasons, the
principal being that professor of the
Seminary has commonly been either
the pastor or supply of the church, and
that the classes have usually been small,
this regulation has not always been Cur
ried ont literally. It's substance was
considered to be gained by the attend
ance of the students upon the services
OF the church, the pulpit of which was
usually flied by professor. aud by
prayer meetings aud the exercise known
as tho Conference" II has been felt,
however, for some time past, that the
rule ougdt to he more strictly enforced,
and the presence Of lnrge class afforded
an additional reason for delaying it no
longer. The obligation is as binding
upon the students to attend, as upon
the professors to appoint these services.
And neither is seriously affected by their
omission heretofore. Ont of q GLASS of
