ships in which also received endowments from Mr. and Mrs. Street. The School thus endowed, and designed in the intention of the founder to form an important adjunct to the Undergraduate instruction, was opened to students in 1869, when Mr. John F. Weir, N. A., was appointed Professor of Painting, and Director of the School, and D. Cady Eaton, Esq., was elected to a Professorship of the History of Art. After the erection of the Art School, the paintings deposited by Colonel Trumbull in the Trumbull Gallery were transferred thither, and the latter building was devoted (from 1868) to a President's office and the ampler accommodation of the Treasury. Mr. Warner had retired from the office of Treasurer in 1852, and had been succeeded by Mr. Edward C. Herrick, at whose death in 1862, Mr. Henry C. Kingsley was appointed.

On one of the adjoining squares on the west, a Gymnasium for the use of the Academical Department was erected in 1859.

The chief addition to the resources of the College under President Woolsey, besides those named, was the "FUND OF 1854," collected by a general subscription, and amounting to $106,390, of which about $70,000 was devoted by the subscribers to the general needs of the Academical Department. This relief enabled the Corporation among other things to meet the expense of a rise in the annual salaries of the Academical Professors, which had remained substantially unchanged since 1817, when they were fixed at $1,100.

The LIBRARY funds received some additions, the most considerable being the sum of $5,000, the accumulations of a legacy bequeathed in 1842 by Addin Lewis, Esq. (Yale, 1803), of New Haven, but not received until 1849. The Library was also enriched by many large gifts of books, conspicuously by the presentation in 1869 of the extremely valuable Oriental library collected by Professor Salisbury, who supplemented this gift with a provision for additions to the collection, thus rendering this important department among the most complete in the Library. Mr. Herrick resigned the Librarianship in 1858, and was succeeded by Mr. Daniel C. Gilman, who had already for two years acted as his Assistant. On Mr. Gilman's retirement in 1865, Mr. Addison Van Name, who still holds the position, was appointed. In 1867 Mr. Franklin B. Dexter was put in charge of the construction of a new card-catalogue, and in 1869 he was permanently connected with the Library, as Assistant Librarian.

Of the other Departments, the DIVINITY SCHOOL under President Woolsey entered on a new career of prosperity. Of the Faculty who had given it its early reputation, Dr. Taylor died in 1858, Professor Goodrich in 1860, and Professor Gibbs in 1861, in which year also Dr. Fitch's name disappeared from the list of instructors. A new era for the Seminary began with the appointment in 1858 of Mr. Timothy Dwight (Yale 1849), as Assistant Professor of Sacred Literature. With him was associated in the work of reconstruction, in

1861, as Professor of Ecclesiastical History, the Rev. George P. Fisher, transferred from the College pastorate; and the same year was marked by the accession of the Rev. James M. Hoppin to the chair of Homiletics, and of Mr. Henry H. Hadley to the chair of Hebrew; Mr. Hadley remained but a single year, and his place was supplied by Mr. Addison Van Name, until the appointment of Professor George E. Day in 1866. In 1866 the Faculty was further strengthened by the addition of the Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacon, who on his retirement from active duty as pastor of the First Church of New Haven, assumed a part of the instruction in Theology in the Seminary, which had been assigned since Dr. Taylor's death to Professor Porter of the Academical Department. These temporary arrangements continued until 1871, when the Rev. Dr. Samuel Harris, President of Bowdoin College, accepted the Professorship of Systematic Theology; Dr. Bacon continued to give valuable service in the Faculty as Lecturer on Church Polity and American Church History until his death in 1881.

Just after Governor WILLIAM A. BUCKINGHAM had contributed $25,000 to the funds for instruction, the death of that munificent friend of the University, Mr. AUGUSTUS R. STREET, in 1866, provided an endowment of nearly $50,000 for the chair of Ecclesiastical History; and the wise step taken the same year, of recognizing the relation of this Department to the University by entitling its future graduates to the degree of BACHELOR OF

DIVINITY, insured permanent success to the work which was next undertaken.

In the prospect that the site of the Divinity College erected thirty years before would soon be demanded by the Academical Department for its needs, subscriptions were opened in 1866 for a new Hall, and by the devoted efforts of the Faculty for this object funds to the amount of $133,000 were secured, and a handsome building (EAST DIVINITY HALL) erected in 1869-70 on the square next north of the College. In connection with this a fund for an excellent Reference Library was contributed by Henry Trowbridge, Esq., of New Haven. The Chapel adjoining this building, the gift of Frederick Marquand, Esq., of Southport, Connecticut, was added in 1871.

The corps of instruction was enlarged in 1871 by means of the gift of $10,000 from Henry W. Sage, Esq., of Brooklyn, N. Y., for the foundation of a lectureship on Preaching and other appropriate topics, to be filled from year to year by the appointment of distinguished pastors of any denomination, a provision of great advantage to the students. Other important additions were made to the scholarship and general funds.

These external improvements were accompanied with a satisfactory growth in numbers of students. The oldest professional School, that of Medicine, underwent in Dr. Woolsey's administration, like the Divinity School, an entire reconstruction of its Faculty. Of the original staff, Professor Silliman and Dr. Ives continued in active service until

1853, and Dr. Knight until 1864; the next in rank, Dr. Beers, retired in 1856; Dr. Charles Hooker died in 1863, and Dr. Bronson resigned in 1860.

Dr. Worthington Hooker was added to the Faculty in 1852, and died in 1867, being succeeded by Dr. Charles L. Ives; Professor Benjamin Silliman, Jr. took his father's place in 1853; Dr. Pliny A. Jewett served as Professor from 1856 until 1864, when he was succeeded by Dr. Stephen G. Hubbard; Dr. Charles A. Lindsley became Professor in 1860, Dr. Leonard J. Sanford in 1863, Dr. Francis Bacon in 1864, and Dr. Moses C. White and George F. Barker in 1867.

An important event in this period was the sale of the building and grounds in 1859, and the erection of a new Medical College, on York street, in 1860. In the later years, the constant and self-denying efforts of the Faculty, who were nearly all engaged in professional practice, were directed to the lengthening and making more thorough the course of study. The lack of pecuniary endowments embarrassed, however, all their plans.

The LAW SCHOOL at President Woolsey's accession was under the charge of Judge Daggett, then extremely aged, and of Judge Storrs,-both of whom retired in 1847,-and of Mr. Townsend who

died in the same year. A new Faculty was then appointed, consisting of Governor Clark Bissell and the Hon. Henry Dutton. Governor Bissell retired in 1855, and his successor, the Hon. Thomas B. Osborne, assisted Professor Dutton for ten years longer. Judge Dutton was then left in
