The University is now in a time of unparalleled vigor; the elective scheme of education which was first put forward a few years ago, in spite of ominous mutterings of more conservative colleges predicting dismal failure, has pushed far ahead, and the ever increasing size of incoming classes proves more and more the success of the plan.
