 Attendance. — The total number of visitors recorded during the 

 year was 245,125, being a decrease of 50,165 in the figures for the pre- 

 vious year. The daily average showed 668, as against 809. No 

 plausible reason, other than the inclement weather during the 

 winter months, and the omission of the Spring Lecture Course, can be 

 given for the falling off in attendance. A number of eminent and 

 distinguished students of the different sciences have visited the insti- 

 tution during the year, most of whom were en route to the Louisiana 

 Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. Gratifying expressions at the 

 progress of the institution were frequent. The classification of the 

 attendance during the year follows, and a list of the school classes, 

 thirty pupils or more, that visited the institution dttring the year:
