 vested funds, and grounds and buildings valued at 

 $123,000. Trevor Hall was erected 1869 and Rockafeller 

 Hall 1879. The library has over 21,000 volumes, and 

 includes that of Neander. No subscription to creeds

The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary was

 tions suspended from 1862 to 1865, when it started 

 again with 7 students. It has now some 114, with 

 6 teachers, real estate worth $120,000, over $200,000 

 of invested funds, and a library of 8500 volumes.
