The average number of students attending the school since 1858 

 has been yearly about two hundred and fifty, being mostly veterina- 

 ry and agricultural students. The students must provide their own 

 maintenance and lodging. A free education and scholarship can be 

 obtained if the student enters his name ; moreover, it is necessary 

 that he has received a certain specified general education, which is 

 considerably less than is required for matriculation at the univer- 

 sity. Latin is not required. 



The scholastic year commences on the 23d of August, the annual 

 period of instruction consisting of two sessions of six months each.

 ures, yet the instruction is so arranged that these may occupy a pe- 

 riod of six sessions ; as a rule, the period of study is four years
