...Dean of the Law School shows that in 1872, the first year in which an examination on the studies of the first year was required of candidates for a degree, nineteen passed, while in 1875 almost three times that number were successful. The total amount of the funds of the University, August 31, 1875, was $3,139,217.99 showing a total increase during the year...
