Aid is afforded by the American and Ohio Education Societies to such students as are preparing for the ministry. The Seminary has also a special fund for the aid of students, from which several may receive a partial sup- port.
The Classical and English Schools furnish employment for a few experi- enced teachers, at reasonable compensation. After the completion of the first term of the middle year, students are permitted to supply vacant pulpits in the vicinity, as opportunity may offer. During the summer vacation all the students may engage in preaching or other religious work, as Churches or Home Missionary Societies call for their services. With reasonable pru- denee and economy any student may pursue his course without interruption or embarrassment.
