Bentley Hall, erected during the presidency of Dr. Alden, consists of a central building three stories in height and two wings of two stories each, besides a basement, which was until recently used for laboratories and shops. The building is devoted to class rooms, society halls, and the office of the president. Ruter Hall, completed in 1855, is a large three-story building which contains the chapel, the library of volumes, and the museum, comprising a collection of specimens of unusual value for the study of geology, mineralogy, and natural history.
