The Rhodes University College, Graham's Town, is the youngest 

 University College in Cape Colony. In 1855 St. Andrew's College 

 was founded, and in 1878 the College and School departments were 

 separated. 



The Rhodes University College was incorporated in 1904, and 

 took over the staff of lecturers from St. Andrew's, which was subse- 

 quently increased. The work is being carried on in temporary 

 premises, pending the erection of buildings to cost ^40,000. Three 

 other schools in Graham's Town have occasionally put students 

 through the Cape University examinations above matriculation, but 

 since the Rhodes College has been established they all hand over 

 their matriculated students to it. In 1905 there were eleven lecturers 

 and 58 students. 



The Diocesan College, Rondebosch, was founded in 1848 as a 

 College School, and in 1886 St. Saviour's Grammar School was 

 affiliated to it under the name of the Diocesan College School. The 

 Matriculation Classes are still retained in the College, but otherwise 

 the separation of College from School is practically complete. In 

 1905 there were five lecturers, fourteen matriculated Arts Students, 

 seventeen Law Students, fifteen in the Survey Department, and one 

 " miscellaneous," making a total of 47. This year there are over 50 

 undergraduates. 



The Huguenot College, Wellington (ladies) was founded as a 

 Seminary in 1874, and in 1898 the growth of the Collegiate Depart- 

 ment necessitated the evolution of a College as a separate entity. The 

 College is only open to Matriculated students. During 1904 there 

 were 27 students, and in 1905 25 students and six lecturers. The 

 separation between College and School is complete. Only the Arts 

 Course is taken here. 



Other Institutions in Cape Colony. By referring to the yearly 

 pass lists of the Cape University since 1905, I find that no less than 

 20 schools in Cape Colony have regularly or occasionally passed 

 students through the Intermediate Arts Examination, not including 

 the five colleges mentioned above. Four have succeeded in putting 

 students through the B.A., viz., Gill College, Somerset East (12), 

 Burghersdorp Seminary (2), Kingswood College, Graham's Town (i), 

 and Queenstown Grammar School (i). The total number of success- 

 ful candidates from these schools is B.A. 16, Intermediate Arts 65. 

 Several of these schools still retain the right of preparing students 

 for Intermediate Arts. 



Passing from the Cape Colony, we find that the only school in 

 the Orange River Colony doing University work is Grey College, 

 Bloenifontein. It was opened in 1858, and was the property of the 

 Dutch Reformed Church till 1882, when it was transferred to the 

 Government. Since 1899 it has put 19 candidates through Inter- 

 mediate Arts and two through B.A., both the latter in T905. It 

 possesses a College Department, with a staff of six lecturers. The 

 separation between school and college is complete. The classes are 

 open to matriculated girls from the High School, as well as to the
