826            JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS.          [Mar, 10,

The undersigned beg leave respectfully to repent that they and
the Faculty of the College desire to continue to afford to the Com-
mittees any further information that may be required on these sub-
jects, and that they hold themselves in readiness so to do.

Respectfully your ob't serv'ts,               

Will. H. Tuck,
                               D. Claude,                             

Jno. Ridout,
                                                          A. Randall,

1st. To give a full statement of the proceedings of the Board
since 1st January 1850, would be but to transcribe the records
kept by the Secretary. The books containing these may be seen
by any member of the Legislature, upon indicating his wish to
the President of the Senate, who is the Secretary, and will show
them on the spot, for inspection.

The number of regular students, in the year 1850, was 78; the
number of graduates 3. 1851, regular students 88; no gradu-
ates that year. 1852, regular students 96; graduates 11. 1854,
regular students 81; graduates, none that year. 1855. regular
students 76; graduates 4. Besides the graduates above referred
to, there were several who received English Diplomas. The
number of graduates for 1856, is 8. Of those who have gradu-
ated during the period above mentioned, nine received their edu-
cation gratuitously. During the same period, there were forty-
five, and at this time there are twenty-one free or non-paying
students.                                                        

2nd. The amount received from the State since 1st January
1850, has been $15,000. The other resources of the College have
been the profits of an invested fund, which has yielded about
$1800 per annum. The tuition fees have amounted to a sum
which has fluctuated within the above mentioned period, from
$1,069.21, in 1850, to $1,940, the highest sum to which this source
reached during the said period. Owing to the increase of students
since the recent re-organization, the receipts from this source will
probably reach $2000 for the present year. A part of the invest-
ed fund, $10,000, has been appropriated to building Professors'
residences, on the College grounds, within the past year, which,
to that extent, will diminish the income from that source.

It is manifest, that without an investigation which would require
more time than is left of the session of the Legislature, it is im-
possible to state in detail and minutely how said donations and
other revenues have been appropriated. If notice had been given
in time, that such information would be required, it could and
would have been cheerfully furnished.
