The admissions, 105 in number, are 14 in excess of those ad¬ mitted last year ; and 46 above, or nearly double, the number ad¬ mitted the year previous. The disproportion between males and females, 42 of the former to 63 of the latter, is still greater than was noticed last year; so that the preponderance of females seems to be increasing. Other details regarding the admissions will be found in the fol¬ lowing tables.
