We are pleased 10 learn that this most
excellent institution is fast rcgaining its
%. prosperous condition. Being q south
IN institution, supported in the main by
,.gthrrn students, there was II very great
decline in its numbers during the war, al
slough not within the limits OF the Con
rlrlacy, where all young men over cigh-
teen. and vast numbers under that age, en-
,errd the army. As soon, however, as the
VA. closed, the old patrons Of the school,
arIGcriatiug It's excellence, together with
The necessity Of education ut that time,
cane To its rescue and during the last
session there were, exclusive of the medi-
cal department, two hundred and sixty
,gre students in the colIcgc--a number
more than double that OF the preceding
session, which was the most prosperous OF
any during the war. OF this number,
about two hundred and twenty are from
the southern States and the District of
Columbia. From present indications, there
will still bc an increase next session and
il will not be long before Georgetown Col
lt,e will be in more ilourishing condition
