persons among the graduates who have been either
members Of Congress Judges OF the highest state
Courts or OF the United States Supreme or District
Courts Governors, Lieutenant Governors of States
or Presidents or Professors in Colleges Is m or about

In making these estimates we have included IN our
let few names not marked the Triennial as be-
longing them the distinction having been recently
attained.
The Triennisl Catalogue OF the Phi Beta Kappa so.
cety published last Commencement furnishes addi
tional particulars of considerable interest respecting a
portion OF the graduates. The Connecticut Alpha Of
this Society organized l-O the first Class being
that of the following year The late Chancellor Kent
and Judge Baldwin OF New Haven, father OF Gov.
Baldwin VINO graduated in isl, were among ITS
original members and from the first the Society has
embodied the best scholarship OF the College, and IN
cuded among its members nearly all of the most dis
tinguished Alumni. The number OF It's members eN.
GLIDING those yet unde' graduates IN College and
honorary members not educated at Yale College, is
1896 of whom 9a6 are ye: living the number OF grad
yates for the same period being iOsl. The Society :
Catalogue gives the places of residence and origin Of It's
members so far as they have been ascertained.
We find from this that out of ~ living members

not yet permanently setted) 2i6 reside IN Conn ~ IN

leans We may obtain from this, probably pretty
correct idea of the distribution OF the Whole body o
graduates, in respect to residence.
Out of the s3s, again, 26 are marked as beng or
having been lawyers 293 clergymen, and 50 AS ply
sicians .
The whole number of members, 10 the year l-i2 IN
elusive is 333 of whom appears that IA were or
enaly from Connecticut and that OF these 40 settled
in other states During the early part OF this period
and in fact till within % years, the proportion OF Con
nectcut boys elected this Society considerably
greater amounting twohirds three fourths OF the
whole and the same proportion, doubtless, holds good
with regard all the students and graduates oil ne Co
ege But of late years, the number furnished by tnls
State has been pretty uniformly third OF the ~noe
This fact indicates great increase within the period

increase in the actual number Of Connecticut students
