INFORMATION RELATING TO STUDENTS.
3. At the beginning of the year there were 106 students on the College
rolls (vide Appendix B). During this year there were 24 fresh entries as
against 38 and 41 in 1908-09 and 1907-08, respectively. Twenty-three students
joined Class A and 1 joined Class C under concession (vide Rule 18). Thirty-
seven students left the College, viz., 17 passed the Diploma Examination and
5 left Class C after having failed to pass that examination. Five left Class B
and 10 left Class A. Two of the students who left Class B had joined under
concession under College Rule 17 in January 1909. They discontinued their
attendance during the middle of the year. Two left the Class in July on having
failed to pass the Supplementary Examination held in March 1909 and 1 after
having failed to pass the Examination in December. Two of the students left
Class A after having failed to pass the examination in December and 2 because
they were not allowed to go up for the examination, not having put in the
required number of lectures. One having passed at the examination, left the
Class with a view to joining the Madras Veterinary College, and 5 left during
the middle of the year, probably to take up some other course. The number of
studeuts attending the College at the close of the year was 93 as against 106
and 107 in 1908-09 and 1907-08, respectively.

examination in December 1909. Three of them passed and 1 having failed left
the College. They were not on the College rolls either at the beginning or at the
end of the official year 1909-10. They are, therefore, shown in Appendix A

GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIPS.
4. The total number of Government scholarships sanctioned is 21, but at
the end of the last official year there were only 18 men on the scholarship list
and 3 scholarships were consequently left vacant. Out of these vacant scholar-
ships one was under special orders of Government, awarded in July 1909 to a
Sindhi student who had failed at the Diploma Examination in December 1908.
This brought the number on the list to 19. Of these 19 men, 1 left on havino-
passed the Diploma Examination in December 1909 and 4 on having failed at
the examination. This latter number includes the Sindhi student who was
given a scholarship in July 1909. Thus in January 1910 the number of vacant
scholarships was brought up to seven, 4 of which were then filled up by the
