The total number of Princeton cradu-
ates is 5,439, and of these 5000 are Iiv-
ing. One fifth of the whole number of
graduates have been clergyman, one
twelfth physicians, and only one-eight-
zenith of them have entered public life.
The mortality has been greatest among
the politicians and least among the cler-
gy. A most interesting fact is that 189
graduates of Princeton have become
presidents or professors in colleges, no
fewer than thirty-two of whom have
taken service with their alma mater.
