WHITE, No. 80 Eldridge street ; the third day finds them at the rooms of the Presbyterian Educa- tion Society, No. 116 Nassau street, drinking in the erudition of Prof. ROBINSON ; or, in the absence of the latter, profiting by the genial instructions of the scholarly GEORGE BUSH, at his study, No. 115 Nassau street ; and again they are to be found gathered about the polished and enthusiastic SKINNER, in his quiet retreat in the chapel of the Mercer-street Church. No dormitories having yet been ...provided, the students came from every quarter of the city, as far away as the Deaf and Dumb Institution on Fiftieth street, and some from the other side of the river. The plans having at length been completed and approved, con- tracts w^ere made for the erection of a seminary building on Uni- versity Place, and of four Professors' houses in the rear, on Greene street. Early in March, 1837, the work was fairly begun, but with utterly inadequate resources. The original subscription had reached nearly seventy thousand dollars ; but the first installment, payable June 1st, 1836, had yielded scarcely more than ten thousand dollars, four fifths of which had been required for the purchase of the lease ; the ground rent and assessments absorbed nearly three fourths of the small remainder, leaving almost no provision for the payment of the salaries of the three Professors, the purchase of books, and' other EARLY ANNALS.
