Both institutions wore reported to be crowded, there being only just sufficient accommodation to deal with the enormous number of pupils. Tho Boys' College has 70 paying" pupils and 575 free-place [upils, a total of 645, whereaß the institution was originally intended to accommodate between 500 and 600.
