The following table exhibits for ten years the distribution of the total number of students among two classes: first, those students whose names are found upon the Catalogue of the year preceding; and, secondly, those whose names appear first upon the Catalogue of the year to which the statement relates:

This table shows the distribution of new students from other colleges among the classes of the Institute and the number of years previously spent at college:

Nine are special students. Of the four regular students of the upper classes three take Course IV., Architecture; and one, Course V., Chemistry. Of the special students, seven devote themselves to Architecture and one to Chemistry, while one is a first-year student.

The next table exhibits the ages of our students upon entrance, after taking out five who are repeating the first year, and nine persons of unusual ages. These deductions leave two hundred sixty-two as the number of students whose ages have been made the subject of computation.

The results appear in the table above in comparison with

the corresponding results of 1906-07.

From the foregoing it appears that the average age on entrance is eighteen years and eleven months.

In this connection are presented the ages, at graduation, of the class which left us in June. The two hundred eight
