The fall meeting of the Board of Regenta was held on Friday last, and among other things, the Preaident's report was presented. Thia was quite a longthy document, tor it treated of the Uuiversity in all its departraenta with considerable minuteness. We repeat here only the most important tacts and ideas contained in it. The University contaiued lastyear 1,193 students. Of these there were 47S in the literary department, 370 in the medical departmeut, and 346 in the law department. The number of women iu the University was 122, distributed ae follows : In the medical department, 47 ; in tne law school, 3 ; n the school of pharinacy, 4; in the department of literatura, science and the arts, 58. 'he graduating class of the literary department nuinbered 101, the largest class ever sent out by that depavtment of the University. he President referred at some length to the elations between the University and the pubc schools, and conBiders each as helpful to the ther. The best results have grown out of the dmissioii of students to the Uuiversity on iptoma, tor they, as a rule, have been the e8t preparad. More thau one-half of the reshman class each year is made up of these tudents. President Angelí then considers ach of the professional schools by itself, showng them all to be very prosperous. He,'nnds ause lor rejoiciug in the rigid examinations ud more thorough instruction of the medical epurtment. He hits the truth when he says : The present state of education in the profesión is as disgraceful to the practitioners as it s dangerous to the patiënt." He then calis pon the professiou of the State to stand by ie Regents and the Faculty in their attempts 0 better this state of things, for uuless they o, it is uext to impossible for them to advance 9 fast as they desira. He speaks of the iuadquijgy of the present library to ita wants, and hinks that 110,000 annually, tor a number of 'ears, could be used to advantage. The law brary room is too small for its use, and so eeds very much the room now occupied by ie general library. This requires the contructiou of a library building. THE FINANCES.
