l>nrcli Rifiirini'il.- The venerable body, commonly 

 distinguished as Dutch Reformed, wisely contents 

 itself with a single theological seminary. The Dutch 

 churches in America till 1771 were subject to the 

 elassis of Amsterdam, which then made it a condition 

 of their independence that measures l>e speedily taken 

 for theological education. Nothinr: was done till after 

 the Involution. In October, I7s|. the Synod ap- 

 pointed J. 11. Livingston. D. D.. of New ^ ork, pro- 

 reeBOT of theology, and 11. Meyer, of Pompton, N. .1., 

 instructor in the "inspired languages." The former 

 delivered an IBUgOIW oration May lit. 17>;">, in New 

 York, and be.L'an to receive students at his lioiisc: for 

 a time he taught also at Flat bush, L. I. Synod ap- 

 pointed "lectors in theology." living elsewhere, with 

 whom young men should study, that they might be 

 examined and certified by Dr. Livingston. Two other 

 professors at one time received students at their homes. 

 I5y arrangement Ix-tween tin- tieneral Synod and the 

 trustees of (Queen's mow Kutgers) College, at New 

 lirunswii-k, N. ,}.. Dr. Livingston became its presi- 

 dent, and removed thither ISIO. having up to that 

 linn- certified alHiut '.in candidates. In IS12 the ( !en- 

 eral S\ nod adopted a plan for the full organization and 

 government of the school, and provided for the ap- 

 pointment of a boanl of superintendents. A second 

 professor was appointed is 15. a third lS2f>. and a 

 fourth ISiJiV Synod controls the seminary and i : 

 its professors, who promise strict adherence to the 

 Heidelberg Catechism, the Bdgio Confession, and the 



e: ..... ns of the. Synod of Dort, The buildings are on, 

 irrounds given by ,'i patrons, and include 2 halls, a 

 library, and f> residences, in all valued at $35(1, (KX).
