The total OF 1855 is decidedly in
ferior to the preceding winter
semester, ,4151, and Is also below that
for the summer semester of last
year, SSS9, which figures represent
high-water marks. This decrease is
chiefly due to a notable lessening of
the number of Russian matriculants,
partly also to a diminutlon in the
attendance from Switzerland and
America. The graduate courses in
the universities of the United States
are today Offering such admirable
opportunities for advanced students
