UNITARIAN. 



The Divinity School of Harvard University, now 

 jirofessedly n on -sectarian, made its mark and attained 

 its reputation in the service of this body, and sent 

 forth most of its ministers. Harvard College began 

 in 1636 as a seminary for preachers, with a limited 

 academical course. The first chair was that of divinity, 

 endowed by T. Hollis, an English Baptist, 1721. The 

 first chair endowed by a native of New England (T. 

 llanciirk) was that of Hebrew. The Divinity School 

 began to have a separate existence in 1815, and was 

 organised 1819. For near 60 years the chairs were oc- 

 cupied solely by Unitarians, among them many eminent 

 men, as Drs. Ware, Norton, Peabody, Hedge, and Ab- 

 bott. The graduates were a numerous body of the 

 highest culture, and very many of them attained dis- 

 tinction. Of late no doctrinal restraints exist. Lec- 

 tures have been delivered by a Trinitarian, and the 

 appointment of an "orthodox" professor of dogmatic 

 theology has been sought for years. There are now 6 

 professors, 21 students, 1 7,000 volumes, and real estate 

 worth $100,000. C. C. Everett, D. D., is dean of the 

 school. 



SfeadciBe Theological School, Meadville, Pa., was 

 founded 1844 by the Unitarians and the Christian 

 Connection and chartered 1846. A belief in the divine 

 origin of Christianity is the only doctrinal test. The 

 successive presidents have been Drs. II. P. Stebbins, 

 1844-56; 0. Stearns, 1856-63, and A. A. Livermore. 

 Divinity Hall was erected 1854, and a fire-proof build- 

 ing holds a library of 18,000 volumes. The real estate 

 is worth $30,000 and the endowment is $160,000. Two 

 professors and an instructor are resident, and 3 give 

 part of their time. There are about 30 students and 

 400 who have been such. A partial course is given 

 besides the regular one of 3 years.
