STUDENTS, COURSES OF STUDIES, AND DEGREES.

In accordance with the plans thus formulated, the students have included those who have already taken an academic degree, and who have here engaged in advanced studies; those who have entered as candidates for the Bachelors’ degree; and those who have pursued special courses without reference to degrees.  The whole number of persons enrolled in these three classes during the first fourteen years (1876-1890) is fifteen hundred and seventy-one.  Seven hundred and three persons have pursued undergraduate courses and nine hundred and two have followed graduate studies.  Many of those who entered as undergraduates have continued as graduates, and have proceeded to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.  These students have come from nearly every State in the Union, and not a few of them have come from foreign lands.  Many of those who received degrees before coming here were graduates of the principal institutions of this country.  The degree of Doctor of Philosophy has been awarded after three years or more of graduate studies to one hundred and eighty-four persons, and that of Bachelor of Arts to two hundred and fifty at the end of their collegiate course.
