The above list does not represent
the number of students who will
enter college from the Normal next
year. Many, a number probably
equal to the above list, will go to
college who have not completed the

fact that some of the colleges do
not require that students in order
to be admitted, shall have taken
the advanced work as is required
by Normal to complete the college
