the tatersib, u iu $50 degree commemorate
sith The resources and intelligence az The State,
there Is gratifying evidence, that The Institution
- gtosing IN the eonh6,ne, ABd Affection OF tho
community. The aggregate number 81 Students
at present Is tni eighty .fNe. Of tbis number
however, more Than tsriy are members Of the

admissions into either % the Glasses. II will be
readily perceived, that a like number OF appii-
oanis Tor admission al the sppfoschiug Commence
mcni, would makoa ycry favorable change in the
aspect Of oar affairs,
In conclusion, the COMMITTEE beg leave 10 re-
mark, that IN the respects in whish the citizens
OF Nofih.Caroiaa can he regarded at least tru, to
themselves the most striking Is the almost uni
yetsal description 10 undcryaluC or own lnslitu-
lions and our own citizens, An examination Of
the Catalogue Of the Colleges Of other States, will
shew that quite as large number OF young men
Gom this State are acquiring Collegiate education
abroad, as at home. II by so dong. they were
enjoying decidedly supoflnr advantages, them
course would be entitled to marked comnendstion.
How Tar this IL Tie case, two satesments Of we'll
ascortaincd authenticity may enable The public TO
decide.
There is no instance known during series OF
years ~bc'c young nan OF regular standing in
this Institution. has rot been admitted into The
same Glass Of any other College, 10 which be may
have applied more remarkable fact is, that
ihrco young gentlemen who commenced their Col
legiate course with the present Senior Glass in the
University, and prosecuted their studies through
tho most dical, part OF The system, are, it is un-
dersood. 10 graduate IN the course of tho present
year, one al Western, a second at southern,
and a third alta Northern Institution, of well es
,ahlisted ropu,atan--caeh one receiving the high
os, distinction IN bis Class
It's clear to demonstration, therefore. that our
young men are not compelled 10 20 abroad, 10 OBJ
tain an education IN all respects equal To that Civ
