Tlie present attendance of students ..at the University of Toronto is 3540. This represents an increase of 1000 in two years, and of 2200 during the'past decade. The greatest proportionate growth > has' been in tho practical science courses, \,hich is only natural, considering the present era of material development throughout tho Dominion. President Falconer states that nearly all the. professors' are overworked, and that additions to'tho staff are required, in all the faculties. He also asks, for a new and larger libr."'-v building, more extensive ■ quarters for the School of Practical Science, and a generous grant for post-graduate purposes.
