1780-1783. AND MANNING. 337 A committee was appointed to break the old seal of the College, which had the busts of the King and Queen of Great Britain, to agree upon a new seal, with suitable devices, to be made of silver, and to report its proceedings to the Corporation. President Manning's account for salary from May 5, 1780, at £60 per annum, was allowed. It was also voted that the College Library, which had been in the keeping of the Rev. William Williams, at Wrentham, during the war, shoul...d be at once brought into town, that it might be used by the stu- dents as formerly. "At this meeting of the Corporation," says the chronicler, "the deplorable situation of the Seminary was particularly taken into con- sideration ; whereupon it was resolved that the edifice, which had been long occupied as a barrack and a hospital by the American and French troops, should be directly repaired ; and ample provision was made for the immediate instruction of youth in all the branches of polite and useful literature." The records read as follows : — Resolved, That a subscription be opened for raising not exceeding £300 for the sole purpose of repairing the College edifice ; and that the money so subscribed, be repaid with interest out of the first money raised by the Corporation ; and Joseph Brown, Esquire, is hereby appointed and authorized to receive the said money, lay out the same lor the purpose intended, as to him shall seem best, and render an account of his proceedings to this Corporation.
