 philosophy, and belles lettres ; a professor of mathematics, 

 natural philosophy, astronomy, and geography; a professor 

 of the Greek and Latin languages ; a professor of law ; a pro- 

 iessor of medicine and surgery ; and a professor of chemistry. 



The funds of this university consist chiefly of lands, and 

 may be considered as amounting to 179000 dollars. The li- 

 brary consists of more than 1300 volumes; beside a law li- 

 brary, and a medical library, for the students of law and me- 

 dicine. The philosophical apparatus is respectable, and mea- 

 sures have been taken to render it still more so. 



The number of students at this seminary, in 1801, was 

 about 70. Of these 19 were students of law, and six of medi- 

 cine. The annual expense of boarding, tuition, &c,, is bom
