The MOST Ray. PRELATE having briefly opened the pro-
ceedings,
The Rev. Mr. NICOLAY read the report. It commenced
by referring to the success which had attended the operation
of the college during a period of seventeen years, and con-
gratulated the friends of the institution that there were now
being educated within its walls more students than at any
previous anniversary meeting. In the department of general
literature and science there were at present 122 students, in
the department of the applied sciences 54, in the medical de-
partment 192, occasional students 85, who, with 502 pupils
in the school, made a total of 955. At the Universities, the
students had acquitted themselves in an honourable manner.
At Cambridge, Air. Hensley was senior wrangler, and first
Smith's prizeman. Two were placed in the first class in
classics, and six obtained fellowships. In the University of
Oxford two had been elected students of Christchurch, and
two others had been nominated for election. In King's Col-
lege Hospital, the number of students was greater than in the
corresponding year of 1844 by 3,000; still, the subscriptions
to that institution only exceeded those of the same period by
54/. 18s. New buildings for the hospital were about being
erected. The report concluded by remarking on the advan-
tages likely to acerue from the establishment of the theologi-
cal department. All the Bishops had agreed to admit 5511-
dents of King's College as candidates for holy orders, with
the exception of the Bishops of Ely and Bangor, who had
declined on account of local circumstances.
