RICHMOND COLLEGE.
END OF COMMENCEMENT WEEK.


Personal, &c., &c.
Richmond College has had, during the
past year. very prosperous session. and
! its commencement has proved a brilliant
and appropriate finale OF the years hard
work.
FIGURES.
The college has matriculaied 139 stu
deuts, OF whom 126 are from Virginia and
thirteen from other States. OF this num-
Der fifty-three are candidates for the min
istry.
The figures In reference TO the patronage
OF the principal institutions in the State
are OF deep interest. and are appended as
follows.
Number Of academic Students Emory
and Henry College, 149; Richmond Col
lege, 139: Roanoke College, 137; Uniyer-
sity Of Virginia. 1886; Washington and Lee,
1913; Randolph-Macon, 100; Hampden-
Sidney, 74-total. S67 academic students.
[The above figures do not include students
attending law medical delartments.1
The number Of Viryinid Students in the
above statistics is rs follows Richmond
College, 1876; Emory and Henry. 81; Roa-
nOke. 81 (: Randolph 81; University
OF Virginia. 50; Washington and Lee.
5S: mpden-Sidney, 49-total Virginia
academic students, $40.
The patronage from outside of the State
lis: Washington and Lee, Gj; Emory and
Henry, 62; University OF Virginia, 81;
Roanoke, So; Randolph Macon. 2j; Hamp-
den-Sidney, %; Richmond College, l3. Ii
will thus be seen that in its Virginia pa
trOnage Richmond College stands first, in
ITS general patronage second, and lowest in
| its outside patronage. An average outside
patronage with the other SIX institutions
mentioned would give Richmond College
ia instead Of 139 students.
The religious and moral influences OF the
college during the past session have been
marked, and the good order and studiOus
habits OF the students have been very
gratifying.
