Of the forty-five students in the five years from 1857 to 1861, for which the Seminary was fairly held responsible, seven were preachers at the opening of 1862, and thirteen were members of the theological class.
The expediency of continuing the Seminary at the metropolis, had been discussed in the mission for several years.

The other missions preferred training their native ministry within their own bounds; and the interior stations of the Western mission had strong objections to sending their pupils to be educated where expensive habits were almost necessarily acquired.
It was resolved, in the same year, to discontinue the boarding-school for girls at Constantinople, with the expectation of reviving it, also, at Marsovan.

It was commenced in 1845.

The whole number of pupils had been one hundred and twenty-eight, of whom one half became members of the church.

Eighty-three were from Constantinople and vicinity, and forty-five from the interior.
Thirty-seven completed the course of four years.
