liberally to the University; but a disposition to do so has been much more manifest in recent sessions of that body. Besides $70,000 for a science building, the 37th General Assembly (1891) appropriated for the use of the University for two years the sum of $65,044.23. At the date of this writing the 38th General Assembly has not completed its work in this respect. To date the total appropriations by the state to the University for all purposes whatsoever amount to $584,200. It has been mentioned that 77 students attended the first term in 1868. The total enrollments for the succeeding years to the present are as follows: 128, 180, 274, 381, 400, 405, 368, 370, 388, 387, 399, 414, 382, 352, 382, 330, 332, 362, 343, 377, 417, 469, 519, 583, 714. It will be noted that for the last ten years each year, with a single exception, shows a gain over that preceding. The last year's gain is much the greatest, reaching 21 per cent over the attendance for 1892 and nearly 40 per cent over that for 1891. The following table gives details of attendance since 1881-82:
