 Statistics show that the Wesleyan University 

 has furnished a larger proportion of teachers 

 than any similar institution, giving an average 

 of twelve years of teaching for each alumnus, 

 including the youngest ; 158 were engaged 

 in the late war, of whom 18 lost their lives. 

 The beautiful Memorial Chapel commemo-

Owing partly to the number of preachers

 respectively.

 of color ; a negro graduated in the regular 

 course with the class of i860, and a Japanese 

 enters this year ; it is even doubted whether 

 women would be refused admission, as there
