3. In January 1920 new students were not admitted as in previous years
in consequence of the change in the College Sessions beginning with the
year 1920-21. New students will be admitted in future in August.
4. There were 76 students' names on the roll in 1920. Of these, 41 were
promoted to a higher class, 27 were failed students, 7 had not appeared for the
examination in December 1919, and one a former student in Class B, was re-
admitted in January 1920. Of the failed students, 8 discontinued the course and
of the 7, who had not appeared for examination, 4 left the College. There were
thus 64 students' names on the College rolls at the termination of the official
year as against 104 at the commencement.
5. This year there were 15 Government scholarships vacant on 1st January
1920, viz.,13 for youths from the Presidency proper and 2 for youths from Sind.
These vacancies were caused by 9 scholars having passed out of the College, 4
scholars having failed to pass in the Annual Examination and 2 scholarships
having been withdrawn from students on account of their having given up the
course owing to family circumstances. No fresh scholarships could be awarded
to students as no admissions were made in January 1920. The Central Pro-
vinces Government continued the scholarships to 2 students already in the
College. The following Native States continued to maintain scholars:—Gwalior
1, Indore 4, Rewa 1, Junagad 1, Bhavnagar 1, Porbandar 1, Mysore 4 and H. E.
H. the Nizam's Government 5. Besides these the Lingayat Education
Association awarded a scholarship to a student already in the College. There
were thus 32 students in receipt of some assistance from scholarships and 32
without such assistance.

throughout the year and accommodation therein is much sought after. All
arrangements for the hostel have been carried out by Mr. Dhakmarvala.
