There was a large influx of students in the wake of the 1859 Revival and the south wing with its dining hall and student accommodation ('Chambers') was added in 1869. Princeton seminary had an important influence in the shaping of the ethos of the College during this period: the Rev Roberts Watts who was appointed Professor of Systematic Theology in 1866 hoped to make 'Belfast another Princeton'. The north wing with its wood-panelled chapel was designed by John Lanyon, son of original architect, and completed in 1881. The first degrees under the Royal Charter were conferred in 1883. However, the death of Watts in 1895 marked the beginning of the end of the Princetonian influence. A partial union took place between the faculties in Belfast and Magee in 1922.
