THE PAST ACADEMICAL YEAR. —The number of
matriculations in the academical year which is now
closing bu been 540. This is the largest number on re-
cord. In 1864-5 and 1863-4, the numbers were 530 and
518 respectively. A sudden increase took place in 1863,
the number in 1862-3 having been 448, which was about
the average of the last 20 years. The largest number of
admissions until the last two years was 487 in 1845 (the
time of the trectarian controversies at Oxford), and the
lowest was 382 in 1858. The nwnber of students who will
be residing in Cambridge next term will be very large, and
these fmen who have not been fortunate enough to get
rooms in college, and have not secured lodgings, will hays
much difficulty in getting accommodation.
