9. New Haven Gymnasium. — The great importance of this 

 undertaking, its close connexion with the interests of learn- 

 ing, the high standing and eminent qualifications of the gen- 

 tlemen concerned, the happy location, the ample accommo- 

 dations of the buildings, and the deep interest of the com- 

 munity in the success of the enterprise, have induced us to 

 insert, not a mere notice, but the entire prospectus of the in- 

 stitution. — Editor. 



Prospectus of the New Haven Gymnasium ; a School for 

 the education of Boys, to be established at New Haven, 

 Conn. ; by Sereno E. Dwight and Henry E. Dwight. 

 We propose in the ensuing spring, to establish, at New 

 Haven, a school for the education of boys ; and, have en* 

 gaged the large and commodious building, originally intend- 

 ed as a steam-boat hotel, with the adjacent grounds. The 

 house is one mile from the college, and three fourths of a 

 mile from the centre of the town ; and commands a fine view 

 of the New Haven valley, and the surrounding mountains, 

 of the harbor, the Sound, and Long Island. 



New Haven, as a place of moderate size and great salu- 

 brity, as distinguished for the beauty of its site and environs, 

 the neatness of its buildings and grounds, and the richness of 

 its foliage, and as presenting a state of society in a high degree 

 moral, enlightened and polished, is a favoured seat of educa- 

 tion. It is within eight hours travel from New York, and 

 within less than twenty-four from Boston, Albany, and Phil- 

 adelphia, and has a direct communication with every part of 

 the United States. 



The proposed institution, in its general plan, is intended 

 to resemble the Round Hill School, at Northampton ; the 

 proprietors of which, for having introduced the Gymnasium
