The University may well congratulate herself on the improvement in the quality of the entrance examinations made during the past four years. Now it requires some knowledge to enter even the first preparatory departartment [sic]; then the poorest applicant was hardly turned away. Then the sub-Fresh department was crowded with conditioned first preparatories; now unconditional passage is the only door to the preparatory school. Apropos to the subject, it is pleasing to announce that quite a decided proportion of this year's entrants joined the second preparatory and Freshmen classes and that the proportion of the first prep are less than usual. "So mote it be."
