Eight are in their second year, and the remainder in their first. There must be a mistake somewhere, as regards two of the students, for they are put down as boipg in their first year although their names appear in the very first published Hist of matriculated students, so far back as the c’oseof 1872, We observe that of those who enter a large proportion do not continue through the full course.
