" No person shall be employed as teacher who is not a professor of reli- gion, of exemplary manners, good natural abilities, and literary and scientifle acquirements ; of good acquaintance with human nature, and of a natural apri- tude for instruction and government, without preference of kindred or friends, place of birth, education, or residence." It was made obligatory on the teach- ers " to open and close the school with prayer; have some portion of the sacred Scriptures read cach day by the pupils; also to regulate the tempers, enlarge the minds, and form the morals of the youth conunitted to their charge ; also, to look after the health of the scholars, and urge the importance of habits of industry and application. . . . The teachers must also ineuleate the funda- mental principles of the Christian religion, and the great and important Chris- tian doctrines [ which are stated at some length in the Constitution], as found in the creeds of the evangelical church s."
The By-Laws were some of them strict in their nature, the "students not being allowed to indulge in profare swearing, any species of gambling, or infemperance, and being forbidden to associate with any persons of bad morals, or to frequent grog-shops or laverns." Article 8 reads, " Each slu- dent. shall attend public worship on every Sabbath, or give a satisfactory excuse for not attending "; and Article le, " No scholar shall be allowed to attend a dancing school while a member of the Academy " [though this was afterwards modified in its form, referring ouly to "minors, without consent of' their parents "].

The academy building was painted in 1829, at an expense of $35. Available funds of the institution, November, 1830, reported at $802.90, and then being slowly increased by annuities paid by the trustees and others, - usually 83 each, - none being more constant in such payments than Rev. Mr. Crockett. The present bell, still heard (1881) from the Congregational meeting-house, was procured in 1530, succeeding a smaller one, of one hundred pounds' weight, Additional ileins. previously used, - Holbrook's " apparatus," purchased in 1831 for $10. At a special meeting of the trustees in 1835, it was voted to " take immediate measures to build a female seminary " ; but not executed. Anonymous letters, received by Josiah Webster, keeper of the boarding-house, 1840, were at last fastened upon two of the students, and resulted in their suspension.

The Catalogue for the year ending Nov. 21, 1840, is, for those times, a very creditable pamphlet of eighteen pages, printed in San- bornton, by J. C. Wilson. Total number of students, one hundred and eighty ; male department, one hundred and nine ; female depart- ment, seventy-one.

The executive committee of the trustees announce their prospects for the coming year, - winter term to commence Wednesday, Dec. 2, - with undiminished confidence in their present preceptor, Dyer 1. Namborn, A. M. ; adding that " the success of the institution, since it has been under his charge, has surpassed their highest expectations." The boarding-house was abont to come maler the care of Mr. Noah G. Smith, one " highly recommended for that station "; price of board to be eight shillings a week only, including washing, and exclusive of wood and lights ; with tuition, $3.50 a quarter. The two literary societies, entitled the . Literary Pano- plean," and the " Merenrean Loquendi," are also commended. The " Analytical Grammar," prepared by the principal, having already passed through three editious, is favored with a long advertising card.
But with the decay of the " Square," the academy gradually dimin- ished in patronage and efficiency. Had its founder lived, it woukl doubtless have been more substantially endowed. Its limited finds soon became exhausted in the support of the school and the outlay for the boarding-house. The last academy term was in 1857. In 1865 the building had been left in quite a forlorn condition, no one appar- ently interested in its welfare, - clapboards loose ; glass broken ; occasionally used for promisctions dancing of not a very high order! But carly in 1867 the school district at the Square obtained the control of the building, for a nominal sum, from the few remaining Final disposal of the building. shareholders then living or accessible, repaired the whole outside, and converted the lower story into a comunodious school-room, which was first ocenpied by a dedicatory religions meet- ing, Sabbath evening, May 19; the first district school commencing under Miss Sarah Taylor the following day.

This institution was located near the lower Piper Mills, Salmon Brook, the academy building being erected in 1845, just east of the old Chapel, between that and the present school-house. lts origin. We only know that it grew up in connection with the . religious movement, elsewhere described, which resulted in the build- ing of the " Chapel" ; or rather it followed that movement in about thirteen years, being designed to give it greater permanence and effectiveness, as well as to afford first-class high-school advantages to the youth in contiguous parts both of Sanbornton and Franklin.
Dea. Nathan S. Morrison was the leading spirit in this educational not less than in the religious enterprise ; indeed, he was said to have
Dra. Nathan S. given more than any two others towards erecting the Morrison. school building which for nearly twenty years was to do
good service in the cause of academic culture. Its nine teachers, as below, were all excellent scholars, and some of them had begun to prove, as since, more or less eminent in their profession. At least five of them were students or graduates of Dart- Character of mouth College, and one of Bowdoin College. The last its teachers. term of school was held in the old academy, about the year 1861 ; and in 1863 the building preceded the Chapel by some nine years in being removed, afterwards to serve as a dwelling-house on Shute's Hill.

IV. - THE NEW HAMPSHIRE CONFERENCE SEMINARY.
Ouly one of the four higher institutions of the old town is still in existence, and that the latest and most eminent, whose three goodly buillings now crown the summit of Academy Hill in Tilton, a few rods west of the spot once occupied by the earliest of the four. (See 1. ) The time of its inception is imlicated by the following allusion in the records of the Northfield amt Tilton branch of the Methodist Episcopal Church : -

Church very generously offering to furnish a building for the accommo-
records. dation of a conference seminary, it was determined to locate the school here. The building was erected and the school com- menced in the fall."
From other sources we learn that there was then "a strong pres- sure to have it on the Sanbornton side of the river; but it was finally decided for Northfield, and as the bnihling was to stand on the land of Col. A. P. Cate, he delivered the first stroke with a hatchet npou one of the trees which was to give way for its erection.

the church record is : "Our new seminary was opened in August." This was the: " commodious and substantial " building virtually sup- planting the former, and hence called the " second " in the history of the institution, --
" Where under one roof the Faculty and students lound a pleasant home, and halls and recitation-rooms for academic purposes. After live years of sue- cessful progress [eoutluning our quotatlou from the Granite

Uunectarian. the church preferences of the students. It has ever enjoyed a
liberal patronage from Christlhn parents of every denomination. . In 1552 a charter was granted by the Legislature of New Hampshire to the institution, authorizing its trustees to connect with its academic work the higher and more perfect education of ladies, and giving it for this purpose the title of the 'New Hampshire Female College.' In accordance with N. l. Female the provisions of this charter, there are two courses of stinly especially designed for ladies, entitled the Classical and the Belles- College. Lettres courses, - the one reqnring four and the other three years for its con- pletion. These courses afford ladies tliorongh and systematic education. Diplomas conferring degrees are awarded to the graduates. The lady board- ers occupy a separate building, and are nuder the constant supervision of the preceptress and lady teachers.
" In lsis there was a change in the administration of the school, necessi- tated by the deeease of its talented and highly honored president (Rey. Dr. Barrows ]. At that time the Faculty was reorganized, and the courses of study thoroughly revised. From nine to eleven professors and teachers are now regularly employed. lustruction is given after the best modern imethods, and the work is earefully rested by written and oral examinations. Persous are not passed from term to term in the courses of study except on satisfactory evidence of corresponding prollciency. There are several of

It is reganded with a just pride by the citizens, and cher- ished as one of the valuable attractions of their thriv ing village."

Two or three rods from Third home of either extremity of this main building are two others of the seminary. three stories, similar to each other in size and shape, and extending back a greater distance than the central building : that on the west being the ladies' boarding-house, as above ; that on the east being devoted to the rooms of gentlemen teachers and students. These buildings, of brick, constituting the third successive " home " of the institution, are constructed ou much the same model as the second, erected in Northfield, except that the two end buildings are not, as in that, in immediate connection with the central.
" The high rank in the various vocations of active life attained by the numerous graduates of this seminary, now scattered over all the world, attests its important place among New England educational institutions." Among its students and graduates are found Distinguished
graduates. (according to the enumeration of the Granite Monthly) In fewer than ten eminent as lawyers and jurists, two mem- bers of Congress, and one a New Hampshire State officer; some half a dozen prominent and highly successful as business men ; at least ten who have stood high as clergymen and divines, one of them a dis- tingnislied theological author ; three or four as physicians, and nine as educators or professors in various higher institutions of learning. not including Rev. Silas E. Quimby, A. M., the present president of the institution ; Rev. Sylvester Dixon, A. M . the veteran professor of mathematics ; and Miss Annie E. L. Hobbs, the preceptress, - who are also among its graduates. These lists might, no doubt, be consider- ably enlarged.
