INFORMATION RELATING TO STUDENTS.
3. At the beginning of the year there were 107 students on the College
rolls (vide Appendix B). During this year there were 38 entries as against 41
and 49 in 1907-1908 and 1906-1907, respectively. Thirty-two students joined
Class A. Two students joined Class B under concession (vide rule 17 of the
College Rules and Regulations). Three students who failed at the Second Pro-
fessional Examination in previous years rejoined Class B and one student
joined Class C under concession (vide rule 18). Thirty-nine students left the
College, viz., 12 passed the Diploma Examination and 5 left Class C after
having failed at the same examination, Four left Class B and 18 left Class A.
Two of the students who left Class B joined the Madras Veterinary College,
one before the examination in November and one after passing the examin-
ation, and two left the Class after having failed at the Examination. Out of 18
who left Class A one died, 8 left after having failed at the examination, 2 because
they were not allowed to go up for the examination on account of not
putting in the required number of lectures, and 4 on having failed to obtain a
scholarship at the Competitive Examination held in March 1908. The number
of students attending the College at the close of the official year was 106 as
