To the Trustees of the Illinois Industrial University: GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to present to you my quarterly report of the condition and wants of the University. Absent, by your permission, till the first of November, I found, on my return, the University in the midst of successful work; instructors and students quietly and earnestly pursuing the great work which brings them together. The figures given you below will show an attendance a little larger than that of any former term, and, if the entries of the winter term shall equal those of former years, the total attendance of the year will be much higher than that ever before enrolled. We have a large number of students absent, teaching, or at work in other employments, but who are known to have the intention to return, and who may be counted, as they count themselves still, as students of the University; but by our usage they never appear on our rolls or in our catalogues, if not present during the year.
