Benefactions and Improvements.
Thanks are due to those liberal patrons whose hearts the Giver of all good has disposed to remember by legacy and gift the needs of the Institution. Its educational facilities would be increased and greater permanence of administration secured by increased endow- ment.
Improvements will be made by the Trustees as rapidly as the means at their disposal will allow.
An Alumnus has proposed to fresco the Seminary Hall gratuit- ously, provided the materials can be furnished. Some preliminary repairs will also be necessary. This generous proposition cannot be accepted unless other Alumni or friends shall be pleased to as- sist. The opportunity should not be lost. All contributions re- mitted to the President will be gratefully acknowledged.

BOARD.
Board for entire term, including room rent and washing, but not including fuel or lights, $3.00 per week ; if less than an entire term, $3.50 per week. The President and other members of the Faculty board with the students.
All students are required to board in the Institution, except those who board with relatives, or such friends as are approved by the government of the school. Board payable one-half in advance and the remainder at the middle of the term. An allowance of ten per cent. is made to young men holding license to preach. No deduction in board or tuition for a few days absence at the commencement or close of a term, or for any but providential ab- sence.
Boarding pupils provide their own towels, napkins, soap, sheets, pillow-cases, pails and carpets.
Carpets and extra furniture will be supplied in ladies' rooms, if desired, for a small additional charge.
Twenty-five cents will be charged each boarder for the key to the room, which will be refunded when the key is returned at the close of the term.
Visitors are expected to pay for board at regular rates.
The expenses will be kept as low as is consistent with thorough work in an Institution of this grade.
Keepers of boarding-houses must render an account of the de- portment of boarders as often as called for ; and any concealment or collusion between them and their boarders will be a sufficient reason for interdicting such boarding places.

Suggestions to arents
Please impress upon the minds of your children the purpose for which they attend school, and the necessity of making every thing subserve that object. New experiences await them, and their hap- piness and success depend upon the spirit with which they under- take their work and the habits which they form during the early part of their stay here. Guard them against forming hasty and doubtful associations with strangers ; but advise them to seek scholarly, re- fined and religious companions. It would be well for them if they could bring their roommates with them.
Furnish them thoroughly for stormy weather and bad walking, especially if they do not board at the Boarding House.
They will have very little use for spending money beyond the regular bills of the Institution. Please require of them a specific account of all expenditures. When pupils are young it is well to deposit their money with some member of the Faculty.
While we consider ourselves in duty bound to do the best we are able for all entrusted to us, we cannot exercise the influence over the manners and associations of our pupils who board out of the Institution that we can over those that are in the family with us.
It is desirable that all students should undertake as much work as they can satisfactorily accomplish. On the other hand, if they are hurried and overloaded, superficial scholarship and impaired constitutions will be likely to result.
Regular and simple habits in diet, sleep and exercise are essen- tial to the preservation of the health. More students are broken down by carelessness and irregularity than by hard study.
Please discourage their visiting home, or other places, during term time. It necessarily interrupts their studies, and diverts their at- tention from their proper work.

It is a mistaken kindness to send them boxes of confectionery, nuts or other edibles. There can be no possible demand for them and the effect, physically and socially, is always mischievous.
We shall esteem it a favor to have you communicate with us freely concerning your children, especially if they think they have reason for complaint.
Weekly or monthly reports will be furnished to parents when re- quested.
It is very important that all the pupils should be present at the opening of the term. The loss of the foundation-work of the first days is damaging to the scholarship of the student, embarrassing to the teacher, and hinders the progress of the remainder of the class.
The school will be organized at 10 o'clock, A. M. of the day ad- vertised ; the classes will be formed and the lessons assigned. Rec- itations will commence regularly on the day following. To insure accommodation in classes, the name and studies of the pupil should be registered on the morning of the first day.

REV. LORENZO D. BARROWS, D. D., President of this Institution, died at Ply- mouth, Feb. 18, 1878. This is, we think, the first instance, in the history of the Semi- nary, of the death of a member of its Faculty. He was its honored President dur- ing the years 1865-71. He assumed the Office at the commencement of the last ar- ademic year, and reluctantly relinquished his work but a few days before his death.
The cause of Christain education has lost a warm and persistent advocate; the Church, a devoted and ceaseless worker; the ministry, a pattern of piety and zeal; humanity a fearless leader in moral reform; and the Seminary one of its ablest and most efficient friends.
"He rests from his labors, and his works follow him."
CARRIE BELLE HARRIMAN, of the Graduating Class of 1877, died in Warner, April, 12, 1878, aged 22 years.' She was a good scholar, faithful to her duties, and greatly endeared to all who knew her.
ORRIN WESLEY PILLSBURY, of the class of 1880, died of consumpton, Oct. 29, 1878, aged 23 3-4 years. He had been a student here about two years, and for the last two terms was teacher of Vocal Music. He was an excellent Christian young man, and gave unusual promise of usefulness in the ministry. He had been on a voyage to Siena Leone, by the recommendation of his physician, and died when within four days' sail of New York. We shall meet him again when the sea gives up its dead.
ROSCOE SYLVESTER DIXON, a student in the Seminary and son of Prof. Dixon, died in Tilton, Aug. 20, 1878, aged 11 years. He was a good Christian lad, and was mature in mind and proficient in scholarship far beyond his years.

This Insititution offers to its undergraduate students, three courses of study, each extending through four years, called respectively the Classical, the Latin-Scientific, and the Scientific Course, and conducting respectively to the Degress of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Philosophy and Bachelor of Science. In each of these courses, the studies of the first two years are nearly all required; but in the last two years only about half of the prescribed quota are required, the student selecting the re- mainder from a wide range of elective studies. It is believed that a sufficient amount is required in each of the great departments of study, to afford a good foundation in general culture; while the large freedom of election in the later years of the course, allows the student to adapt luis work to his own tastes, talents and purposes.
Post-graduate courses in the various departments of science and literature are of- fered to graduates of this and of other colleges.
An Astronomical Observatory provided with a fine telescope, a well-furnished Chemical Laboratory, and a large and constantly increasing Museum of Natural History, afford facilities for a practical training in the methods of observation and research employed in those sciences.
The Library numbers over 27,000 volumes ; and its steady increase is provided for by special fund.
There is a well-stocked Reading-room, and a well-furnished Gymnasium.
Scholarships securing free tuition can readily be obtained by any who are at once needy and deserving; and no young person of ability, energy, and moral worth, need be deterred by poverty from undertaking a course of liberal education in this Uni- versity.
Ladies are admitted to the University on equal terms with gentlemen.
Examinations for admission are held on the day after Commencement, and on the first day of the Fall Term. These days for the year 1879 will be respectively June 27 and September 11.
For further information address,
REV. CYRUS D. FOSS, D. D., PRESIDENT.

"A city is itself a great university, Boston particularly so; and the plan of this Institution, as rightly indicated by its name, is to organize into a great educational corporation the means of instruction so abundantly spread out in that city. Other colleges and universities gather their corps of instructors only by arduous selection and at great expense, and even then may find it difficult to create that society of letters and atmosphere of culture so essential to the growth of scholars."-Spring- field Republican.
I. For admission to the Classical Course, two entrance exami- nations must be passed.
2. The University has established a higher standard of require- ments for Classical Degrees than is found in any other in the world.
3. This University was the first in the United States to present in Theology, Law and Medicine, uniform graded courses of in- struction covering three scholastic years, and to require in each case, in order to graduation, the full three years of study.
4. Its departments of Oratory and Music have no counterparts in any other University.
5. It is the only one in this country which offers a four years' course in Medicine and the Baccalaureate Degree in Medicine and Surgery.
6. It is the only one in the world organized from the first and throughout without any kind of discrimination on the ground of sex.
Circulars of the different Professional Schools sent free. A copy of the Year Book of the whole University for the current year, with an essay on "The Liberation of Learning in England," will be sent on the receipt of twenty-five cents. Address the Reg- istrar,
