VI. Marlborough College Statistics. 



Though it does not in any degree enter into the contemplation of the 

 Committee to discuss the returns of any particular college or establish- 

 ment in detail, and indeed it would be foreign to their purpose to furnish 

 the means of comparison that might be invidious between one institution 

 and another, the series of 1850 observations made during several years by 

 Dr. Fergus on boys in Marlborough College, and communicated to the 

 Committee by the Rev. T. A. Preston, have been thought by the Com- 

 mittee to constitute an exception, and it has been considered advisable to 

 prepare abstracts of them as afibrding an excellent example of the useful- 

 ness of systematic records. These have been prepared by Sir Rawson W. 

 Rawson for each quarter of a year of age, in the same manner as those of 

 the boys at Christ's Hospital, contained in the Committee's last Report. 

 See Tables XX. to XXIII., to which are added tables of head-girth, arm- 

 girth, and leg-girth (XXIV.-XXVI.) prepared by Mr. Roberts.
