...Exeter catalogue for 1888-89 has just been published. It contains a good deal of interesting matter, and shows that a liberal advance has been made at Exeter during the past year. But few changes have been made in the board of trustees and in the faculty during the past year. George S. Morrison, of Chicago, was elected last June into the board of trustees, and he is the only man residing in the West, who has received such a distinction. The faculty remains the same in number but has two new members, Messrs. Fowler and Stone, who have filled...
...HAVEN, Dec. 16, 1888.- The semi-annual examinations for the first half of the present college year close Wednesday, after which the campus will be entirely deserted for three weeks, the vacation having been increased a week to make up for the decrease in the Thanksgiving recess. The change was made this year for the first time, particularly in the interest of western men who are unable to put the extra days at Thanksgiving time...

...catalogue just issued, has 1,365 students, of whom 688 are in the Academic department, 308 in the Scientific, 133 in the Divinity School, 106 in the Law School, 47 in the Art School, and 35 in the Medical School. The increase in numbers during the past two years has been 231, of whom 120 were added this year. All the departments except the Art School showed a marked increase. One of the most encouraging signs is the large number of our own graduates who are pursuing their professional or special courses here rather than at other universities...
...circulation of the University library during the past year has been somewhat less than ten thousand volumes. This is exclusive of the special departmental libraries of the graduate schools and also of the Linonia and Brothers which has a circulation somewhat in excess of the University library. This is to be accounted for chiefly by the fact that this library contains works in general literature while the University library is limited to works of a heavier character. One rather surprising fact is that the scientific department withdraws only about 5 p. c. of the total circulation. The showing...
