The  New  College  Hall.  The  Building  Committee.  The  Funds. — 
We  have  chronicled  the  progress  of  the  College  building  with  the 
greater  interest,  as  for  the  time  during  which  it  was  in  course  of  erection 
our  Institution  was  without  a  local  habitation,  and  our  ability  to  accom- 
modate the  National  Association,  and  the  coming  courses  of  instruction 
depended  on  its  partial  and  final  completion.  At  this  writing  the  plaster- 
finished.  On  the  7th  of  October  Prof.  Parrish  inaugurated  the  hall  by  a 
ing  is  finished,  and  the  lower  Hall  and  the  two  larger  lecture  rooms  are  nearly 
general  introductory  to  the  lectures  in  the  upper  room,  at  which  several 
hundred  persons  were  present.  The  address  was  a  historical  account  of

hoped  the  building  will  be  handed  over  to  the  College  by  the  Committee 
and  Contractor,  so  that  our  Standing  Committees  on  the  Museum  and 
Library  may  have  the  opportunity  to  restore  these  important  influences 
to  their  new  positions  in  the  lower  hall,  where  the  members  can  again  get 
at  them.    It  is  not  our  purpose  now  to  give  a  description  of  the  building
