Ir is estimated that the total enrollment at 
Cornell University will this year be 3,000, as 
compared with 2,543 last year. 
ACCORDING to the Allahabad Pioneer Mail, as 
quoted by Nature, during the past year, no fewer 
than 11,000 candidates presented themselves 
for the various examinations of the Madras 
University, and of these slightly over 4,000 
were successful. The fees paid by candidates 
amounted to nearly Rs. 1,87,000 ; while sundry 
items, including about Rs. 10,000 interest on 
Government securities swelled the income of 
the University to a little over two lakhs of ru- 
pees. The total expenditure for the year came 
up to Rs. 1,80,000, of which sum Rs. 1,38,000 
were absorbed by examiners’ fees. The Arts 
Examinations, as usual, yielded the greatest 
portion of the University income—the total fees 
realized from candidates amounted to over one 
and a half lakhs of rupees, while payments to 
examiners came up to Rs. 90,000. The Law 
Examinations yielded a quarter of a lakh of 
rupees, while the examiner’s fees only amounted 
to slightly over half this sum. The Medical 
and Engineering Examinations, however, are 
conducted at a loss; but, after balancing re- 
ceipts and expenditures, the University realized 
a net profit during the past year of Rs. 10,000, 
without reckoning the Rs. 10,000 accruing as 
interest from Government securities.
