STUDY.  A building or an apartment devoted to study or to literary employment.—­Webster.

In some of the older American colleges, it was formerly the custom to partition off, in each chamber, two small rooms, where the occupants, who were always two in number, could carry on their literary pursuits.  These rooms were called, from this circumstance, studies.  Speaking of the first college edifice which was erected at New Haven, Mr. Clap, in his History of Yale College, says:  “It made a handsome appearance, and contained near fifty studies in convenient chambers”; and again he speaks of Connecticut Hall as containing thirty-two chambers and sixty-four studies.  In the oldest buildings, some of these studies remain at the present day.

The study rents, until December last, were discontinued with Mr. Dunster.—­Quincy’s Hist.  Harv.  Univ., Vol.  I. p. 463.
