The Wharton School has nearly doubled in numbers since 1888,
and now reaches 66. The Course in Natural History has increased
from 5 to 8. The special two year course in Biology Preparatory to
Medicine increased in 1890-91 from 44 to 65, and fell off last year
to 56, and again this year to 44. . This loss, which was less than the
radical change introduced by the lengthening of the Medical Course,
led us to expect, is more than made up by the increased number of
students in the other College departments electing courses in Biology.
The students in Music have just doubled in numbers during the last
three years.
The number of new students admitted at the beginning of the
present year is 219of these 146 are pursuing the work of the Freshman
class, the remaining were admitted to advanced standing or to the
special courses in Biology, Music and Architecture. In 1887-88 the
Freshman class numbered 69.
The following table shows the growth of the Freshman class
during the past four years:
