This shows an incrcusc Of 20 over the
enrolment OF last session.
The record of the Preparatory De-
partment for the year is very satisrac-
tory. In spite of the reduction in rates
Of tuition, this department has more
than paid the salary Of the Principal:
and it is probable that it will furnish
some fifteen members to the Freshman
Class next session. The Principal has
done faithful and efficient work.

having successfully completed the pro
Scribcd courses, are recommended for

company the report Of the Standing

you authorize the Treasurer to borrow
Il sufficient amount to settle in full the
claims against the College for current

that che balance duo on account Of cur
rent expenses is smaller than the bal
ancc due ut the close Cf last session.
