The growth of Princeton during the decade now passed has been very rapid, but more especially during the last five years. The number of students in 1889 shows an increase of 50 per cent. over that of 1885 while the following tabulated statement gives the growth from 1877-78 to the present time. It will be seen that the totals do not correspond in all cases to the sums of the items; this is because allowance is made for the Fellows who also take post graduate courses:

Catecory1, Catecory2, Catecory3, Catecory4, Catecory5, Catecory6, Catecory7, Catecory8.
