They express the ratio of the men in Congress to the number in a graduating class twenty years ago. The size of a class twenty years ago was taken, because that is about the time the average Congressman graduated. The ratios for the different colleges are approximately the same, from which we may conclude...

I may say that the trustees are much encouraged by the present outlook for greater enrollment, although the year is not yet advanced to the time when applications for instruction are most numerous. The policy of the Faculty is to accept men for their quality rather than to seek after mere quantity of students. We weigh...
