Our College Building is now finifhed— It is a strong and handsome brick building, Izo feet 10ng...45 feet wide, and three (lories high, containing four chimnics, 24 fire places, 24 piincipal rooms, 48 bed rooms, 48 defers, and 106 windows, with a deep and spacious cellar under the whole, a part of which will make an excellent La boratory whenever a Frofefforlhip of Chim iftry (hall be eftabtiflied. This building faces South, zo degrees East, so that in Summer, in the hotted part of the day the fun scarcely enters the win dows. Better accommodations for (Indents •cannot be found in any College in the Unit ed States.
