Highbury College, London
Highbury College was a dissenting academy, that is, a school or college set up by English Dissenters. Its most famous student was Christopher Newman Hall. It had a high reputation, and in time it was amalgamated into New College London.
==History==
It was set up in Mile End in 1783, moved to Hoxton in 1791, and then to Highbury in 1826.〔''The changing shape of English nonconformity, 1825-1925'' Dale A. Johnson. OUP:1999〕 Trustees had acquired about five acres of land, and for £22 000 had commissioned John Davies to build a new college. By 1854, following the amalgamation of Highbury College into New College London, the building had become a teacher training college, and in 1866 it reverted to a theological college, this time for the Church of England〔'Islington: Growth: Highbury', A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 8: Islington and Stoke Newington parishes (1985), pp. 37-41.

Samuel Lewis in his 1831 ''A Topographical Dictionary of England'' describes the students as "single men, eighteen years of age and upwards, producing testimonials of their piety, and being able to translate Virgil, having also some acquaintance with the Greek grammar, fractional arithmetic, and the elements of geography" and the curriculum as "Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Chaldee, and Syriac languages, the belles lettres, intellectual and moral philosophy, the mathematics, history, biblical criticism, the composition of sermons, theology, Hebrew antiquities, &c."
Brown judges it the "largest and most prestigious" of the Dissenting Academies,〔''A social history of the nonconformist ministry in England and Wales, 1800-1930''. Kenneth Douglas Brown. Clarenden Press, Oxford. 1988, p64〕 but still, this meant it had only 40 students in the 1830s.〔''A social history of the nonconformist ministry in England and Wales, 1800-1930''.
