! REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF STUDIES.
The Semi-Annual Examination, whicl
began on Thursday, Jan. 9th, came to {
close on Monday, Jan. olst., when the re
suits were publicly announced in the Stud,
Hall, for the qualification of those who, BY
persevering industry, had attained a high
standing, and also as practical reminder
to those who, by an opposite course, failed
to establish reputation for diligence. No,
satisfied with this, the Rev. President wishes
to give still further and more public CON-
mendatioa to those who, IN the exam;na-
ton, gave evidence of more than ordinary
ability, developed by diligent application
to study during the session just passed. To
this end the following summary of the re-
salts of the examination is presented for
pu blication. 'aH.il 3a4 a@
To render this brief report perfectly clear.
| must remark that by per cent. as express
ing the standing of student, IS meant the
proportion of questions in hundred, cor
rectly answered by him. Thus ninety per
cent, mean that be answered ninety ques-
tons out of one hundred, or nine out of
ten. A students average per cent is like
wise the proportion of questions in hum
dred correctly answered by him, taking to-
gether all the branches of study pursued
by that student. Thus supposing that he pur-
sues three studies and receives in one
eighty per cent. in another eighty-6ve, aud
in the third Dinety-6ve; his average will be
the same of thesedvided by three or eighty
six and two-third. With this explain alton l
proceed, giving first the Graduates. O.
The following were passed for Diplomas
in the Commercial Course, to be publicly
conferred at the annual commencement in
June: Edward Murphy and John Gallag-
her, both of WATERFOWL. el6 81 osl
DISTINGUISHED STUDENTS following
attained an average per cent above ninety
which is deemed exceedingly good, and
worthy of special commentator, viz: N.
Boyle. D. W. Gallagher, F. Hilgin, E.
Murphy, NJ. Moore, NJ. orion, NJ. Pentony,
Thos. Shea, B. T. Stacey and J. Weiner.
The highest per cent. was obtained by Mas

acquitted themselves very creditably in the
examination, but not having attained 100
per cent. in any study, nor an average |
above ninety, their names are not specially
mentioned. The average per cent. Of ques-
tons correctly answered in the entire ex-
animation was eighty -four. ~, 81.
The general results have been highly sat-
isfactory, considering that the examination |
was thorough in every class, and in the
more advanced classes even severe, and |
this, taken in connection with the perfect |
harmon and good feeling which have ex-
listed since the beg inning of the year, and |
which renders lite in the college truly pleas
ant: gives promise of even higher success
during the session just begun.
