CHESHUNT COLLEGE.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SpEarATos..-) SIS,—Will you kindly allow me space in your next issue to correct a mistake in your last as to the character of Cheshunt College? In the article entitled "The New Prussian State Religion," the College of Cheshunt is said to belong to the Independents. This is not the case. The College was founded by the Countess of Huntingdon, and belongs to no denomination but that which is called by her name. As a matter of fact, a majority of the students who are educated at Cheahunt enter the Independent ministry, but this is merely a fortuitous occurrence. The consti- tution of the College is essentially comprehensive. Students have been educated there for the Establishment as well as for Noncon- formity. And it seems only fair that the catholic character of the institution should be recognised.
I can vouch for the accuracy of these statements, having been a student of Cheshunt College myself.—I am, Sir, &c.,
Duxford, Cambs., January 29th, 1873. WILLIAM FIELD.
