Packer Collegiate Institute. BOARDING AND DAY-SCHOOL FOR YOUNG LADIES. BROOKLYN, L. I. This Institution has been widely and favorably known, the last. twenty-five years, for the superior opportunities it affords, and for its success in thorough education. Its ample means enables it to secure the best instructors in every department, and to obtain whatever is desirable for the full illustration of every study. In the system of instruction pursued, it is designed to combine the advantages of both private and public schools. It is delightfully situated on BROOKLYN HEIGHTS in a thoroughly healthy locality, quiet and retired; while its proximity to New York renders the advantages of that city easily accessible. Young ladies who wish a partial course can select such studies as are best suited to their need. If instruction in Languages, Music, or Painting, only is desired, the Packer Institute offers unusual facilities for rapid progress, under the guidance of most accomplished teachers. Catalogues will be sent to any address, on application to PACKER COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE, Brooklyn, L. I., New York. FACULTY OF INSTRUCTION. REV. NOAH PORTER, President. REV. LEONARD BACON, Church Polity and American Church History. REV. SAMUEL HARRIS, Doctrinal Theology. REV. GEORGE E. DAY, Hebrew and Biblical Theology. REV. JAMES M. HOPPIN, Homiletics and the Pastoral Charge. REV. GEORGE P. FISHER, Church History. REV. TIMOTHY DWIGHT, Sacred Literature and New Testament Greek. The next annual term will open on the 11th of September, 1873, and continue eight months, until the third Thursday of May, 1874. The rooms in the commodious DIVINITY HALL, recently erected, are completely furnished, and they will be assigned to new students in the order of their application. A few of the rooms have two bedrooms attached to them, but, in general, provision is made for each student, at this advanced stage of his education, to room alone. The building is warmed throughout by steam, and lighted by gas. Fire-places are also provided in all the rooms. Bath rooms and other conveniences are placed on every floor. The building is thoroughly ventilated on an approved system. No Catalogue of the Seminary is published separately from the Annual Catalogue of Yale College, of which it constitutes a part. Those, therefore, who propose to enter upon a course of Theological study, are referred to that for information. The following points, however, may be briefly stated: 1. Members of the Theological Department are thereby Members of the University, and as such have free access to its libraries and collections of science and art, are allowed to attend gratuitously the lectures of any of the Professors in the College and in the Sheffield Scientific School, and on proving themselves to possess the requisite qualifications, receive from the Corporation the degree of Bachelor of Divinity, with the enrollment of their names in the Triennial Catalogue of the University. Many of these lectures in the other Departments, as well as the opportunities for wider culture in general, will be of special value to those preparing for the ministry. Those who intend to become Foreign Missionaries have the further privilege of attending gratuitously the lectures of the Medical Department. 2. Students have only to make pecuniary provision for about eight months of study annually. In the remaining four months of vacation, from May to September, they have the opportunity to engage in Home Missionary or other labor, with remuneration for their services. 3. The expenses for the annual session are $4 to $5 a week for board; $15 to $25 for fuel and lights; $5 a year for care of room. There is no charge for instruction, room rent, or use of library. 4. Students, whose circumstances require pecuniary assistance, will receive $1 a week towards the expense of board—thus reducing the charge to $3 or $3.50 a week. They will also receive $100 annually from the funds of the Seminary. Additional aid to the amount of $100 is afforded by the American Education Society. These means of assistance fully cover all the expenses mentioned above. 5. After the close of the second year, in May, the Students have frequent opportunities to receive remuneration from preaching in the neighboring churches. Letters of inquiry may be addressed to any of the Professors in the Theological Faculty, who will send a Catalogue on application. ART. I.
