...society would find a place in the building, as soon as it might be formed. The present membership of the societies might indicate a lack of general interest on the part of students; and yet the membership of the societies has constantly increased, even in proportion to the very rapid growth of the University. The building, also, would undoubtedly concentrate much of the interest which is now dissipated simply by neglect.

This school has had a remarkably rapid growth, as the fact that $1720 were paid as fees by the students in the summer courses in 1886 as against $7,873.50 in 1891 testifies. The Faculty last year decided, after much discussion and deliberation, "to admit to its list of courses that may be counted for the Bachelor's degree eight summer courses - one in German, two in Engineering, one in Physics...
