GEER'S HARTFORD CITY DIRECTORY.
The Hartford Theological Seminary;
Formerly known as "THE THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF CONNECTICUT."
Sixty-fifth Year, 1898-99.
This Seminary is managed by Trustees elect- ed by THE PASTORAL UNION OF CONNECTICUT, a large and increasing association of Congrega- tional ministers.
THE PASTORAL UNION was formed in 1833; and the charter of the Seminary was secured in 1834. The first building was erected at East Windsor Hill, in 1834, where the Seminary remained for over 30 years. In October, 1865, it was removed to 33 Prospect street, Hartford. The corner-stone of its present commodious building, HOSMER HALL, 1507 Broad street, was laid May 8, 1879. This building was the gift of the late James B. Hosmer. It is of brick and stone, three stories and French roof, 160 feet front, with two wings over 100 feet deep. It contains a chapel, music-room, reading-room, several lecture-rooms, office, about sixty stu- dente' rooms, dining-room, kitchen and laun- dry, with every appliance for comfort and efficiency. A fully equipped GYMNASIUM, 32 by 60 feet, is placed somewhat in the rear.
The LIBRARY contains over 67,000 books and 35,000 pamphlets, the larger part of which was secured through the liberality of the late NEWTON CASE. It includes many rare and valuable books, and is especially rich in biblical texts, bibliography, Arabic literature, Reformation history, Lutherana and Hymnol- oxy. It is open to students and the public generally for consultation and the drawing of books from 7.30 A.M. to 9.30 P. M., Sundays excepted. The CASE MEMORIAL LIBRARY is a large, fully-equipped, fire-proof building, ample for the needs of the Library for many years to come.
The READING ROOM is supplied with nearly 500 periodicals, including several daily pa- pers, the various religious weeklies, and the leading American and European reviews.
The MUSEUM contains the large collection of curiosities from missionary lands, gathered by the American Board, together with many ac- quired by the Seminary, forming an unusually rich and instructive exhibit.
The calendar provides but a single session, beginning the last Wednesday in Septmeber and closing the last Thursday in May, with re- cesses at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.

ALNUT LODGE HOSPITAL,
HARTFORD, CONN.
A Private Asylum for the Special Treatment of ALCOHOL AND OPIUM INEBRIATES.
This Institution is founded on the modern view that inebriety is a Disease and Curable. Each Case is made the subject of special study and special medical treatment, suited to meet the exact requirements of the case.
This is accomplished by Turkish, Russian and Saline Baths, with Electricity, Massage, and various other appliances which Art, Science, and Experience have proved to be valuable. Each one is under the direct personal care of the Physician and attendant; and ex- perience shows that a large proportion of these cases are restored by the application of exact means and remedies.

THE FIRST HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING was erected in 1847, at the corner of Asylum and Ann streets. It was a plain three story brick structure, about 70 feet long by 40 feet wide, with desks for about 300 pupils.
In 1869 a SECOND BUILDING was erected upon the present High School lot on Hopkins st., with desks for 880 pupils; it was enlarged in 1877, the addition con- tained four school rooms, recitation and dressing rooms, etc., giving 200 additional desks for pupils. This build- ing, with all its contents, was destroyed by fire onJan. 24, 1882. Only four recitations were lost before the school was in its temporary rooms, 870 and 878 Asy- lum street.
The THIRD BUILDING was occupied January 3, 1884. The building is in the secular gothic style, and is fire proof; the basement walls are of rock faced brown stone; the outer walls above the basement are of Phila- delphia pressed brick, with the dressings of the doors and windows of brown stone. All the floors are laid upon brick arches supported by iron beams; the stairs are of stone supported by brick arches. The building is 236 feet long. In 1897 an extensive addition, built in harmony with the south portion, of 190 feet in length was made, the whole making a building of 426 feet in length, with an average of 50 feet in width; two stories high with an attic and basement. It is finished in the very best manner with all the modern appli ances for heating, ventilating, laboratories, gymnasium, etc. In the rear of this extension is a manual train- ing building, two stories and basement, 182 feet long and 64 feet wide.

HARTFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL .- 89 Hopkins st.
A classical school was founded in Hartford in 1688, which was partly supported by the town and partly by tuition fees. It received its first bequests in 1655, 1659, 1664 and 1680. The town for more than a century managed this school, when they petitioned in 1798 for an act of incorporation, and it was thus continued until 1847 under the corporate name of the Hartford Grammar School, when it was merged with the Classi- cal Department of the Hartford Public High School. Previous to this merging, the school was held in a two story brick building on the southwest part of Lin- den place. It is free to residents of Hartford. The number of scholars is limited to 35. Amount of funds Sept. 1, 1895. $50,000.00
