struction and administration is given at
500 and the total enrolment of students
at 2,i25. This figure does not include
the summer school of forestry or the
enrolment in the regular teachers
courses. If these are included the total

is raised to ISIS. These figures show
the largest number of students in the

than half what it is at present. Ten
years ago it was 1869. The depart
/ mental enrolments as given in the

! Arts %, department of music At, forest
i school 40, divinity school liz, medical
! school las. law school 253. The deduc-
! ton of 1870 for names inserted twice is
