PROSPECTUS OF A CtiURcn or ENOLAKD COLLEGE

IN CONNEXION WITH THE UNIVERSITY CF

_ Î ho Legislature of this colony, by tho founda-

tion and munificent endowment of the UNIVERSITY

OF SYDNEY, having provided an Institution in

which secular knowlodgo of the highest order

may bo acquired, but from which, by the terms

of its constitution, Religious instruction is ex-

cluded, it has become a matter of deep importance

that members of the Church of England, by tbe

establishment of a College of their own, in con-

nexion with thc University (as contemplated by

the Act for its incorporation), should bo enabled

to avail themselves of the advantages thus

It is proposed to establish, therefore, in per-

manent nllinncs with tho Sydney University, a

Church of England College, to ho allied QUEEN'S

COI.LEQH ; in which systematic Religious instruc-

tion, <loaic.»tio supervision, and moral discipline,

with elementary teaching, and efliciont assistance

in prcpiiring fer the University Lectures and

Examinations, shnll bo provided for Students

of the University, whoso Guardians or Parents

may desiro to sccuro snob, advantages for

thom. And thus, whilo tho acquisition by

them of all other usol'ul knowledge will bo

facilitated, and that union of the Tutorial and

Professorial systems bo attained, which is so im

I portant in Academical Education, tho groat object

will bo kept in view of instilling into their minds

a reverence for tho doctrines and tenets of our

Church : and Learning will bo consecrated, as it

over should bo, to tho service and honour of

With these views, tho following Tlnn and Ar-

rangements (subject to modification by tho Sub-

scribers horenfter) aro proposed.

1. That Col logo Buildings sholl booreotedin the

3. That tho Metropolitan Bishop shall bo Visitor

4. That the Council shall draw np Rules (with

5. That tho Warden, who shall bo a Clergyman

in Priests' Ordors, shall bo appointed by tho

six Fellows ; and the Sub-Warden bo ap-

pointed by tho Worden, subjoct to their ap-

C. That there shall bo twenty-four Follows be-

longing to the College ; of whom eight shall

bo Clergymen in Priests' Ordors.

In circulating tho forogoing Prospectus of a

Church of England College, tho Committoo ap

fiointcd nt tho Public Meeting hold to promoto

ts establishment, having given tho subject their

maturo and anxious attention, and hoing satisfied

of tho perfect practicability, as well ns of tho

Ïiroprloty and urgenoy of tho< object, earnestly

ii vi to co-operation in thoir design.

Tho Committee submit it for Bupport, in tho

persuasion that a largo portion of tho community

will readily unito willi thom in tho advancement I

of principles, and tho promotion of a system, I

within this colony, whioh havo for agos aeon so j

conducive to tho prosperity, tho moral greatness,

and tho glory of Englnnd. Thoy aro anxious,

for tho Membors of thoir Church, to toko advan-

tage of tho opportunity hold out to them by tho

Legislature, of acquiring instruction in the

highest brauchen of secular learning; undor

Professors so distinguished, and admirably quuli

flod in thoir rospcotivo departments, as those who

now fill tko Chairs in tho Sydnoy University.

But Churohmen, however influenced by such con-

siderations, fool that in tho University ono thing,

the most essential, is yet wantina j and they

desiro that, in this colony as in England, mental

improvement nnd Roligion should movo togothor,

With suoh views, tho establishment of on In-

stitution to bo called " Queen's Colloge" lins been

projected, in oonncotiou with tho University i

and the Committee, trusting to tho cordial

sympathy of thoso intorostod lu tho undertaking,

solicit subscriptions towards tho object. On tho

amount so 'raised will materially depend tho ex-

tent of tho endowment, willoh will bo doubtless

contributed by tho Govornniunt anti Legislature.

Tho Cummitte, therefore, deeply sensible of tho

importance ol'Mils movement, (rust that it will

bo mot hy prompt and generous assistance,

lt will bo observed, that the Prospectas con-

templates tho erection of Buildings; and the

Committee confidently expect that sufEoient funds

will be received, not for'that object only, but for

a liboral endowment of tho College. It is hoped,

however, that arrangements may atonoo bo made,

for tho reception of Students attending the Uni-

versity, and their moral and religious supervision

by Clergymen willing to undertake that duty; or

by other competent persons.

It is proposod by the Committee, that subscrip-

tion s ot £50 and upwards may bo payable in four

annual payments ; and that Subscribers shall bo

entitled to voto in tlte election of Fellows, accord-

ing to the following scale, viz.:-£10 and under

£50, one vote ; £50 and under £100, tue votes ;

£100 and under £20e,/onr votes ; £200 and undor

£400, lix votos; £400 and under £500, eight

vetes ; £500 and upwards, ten votes.

It is scarcely necessary to add, that.although

tho plan and arrangements now proposed, are such

as appear to tho Committee to be in accordance

with the views expressed nt tho general Meeting,

they will, of oourse, bo subject to modification, if

ultimately the Founders of the Institution shall
