The university, proper, embraces . twelve colleges, or departments of " learning, viz.:* College of Liberal Arts, Medicine, Law, Engineering, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Music, Com- merce, Oratory, Theology, etc. Her growth has been wonderful. When I I? J entered it forty-seven yearB ago, the $$(afaculty consisted of four or five pro- j|| * feasors. Now the faculty consists of p| four hundred and fifteen. In my grad- ISfV'.'-"Mating class there were only thirteen. '$$£:â- :, I» this year's graduation class there |||- were one hundred and eighty-two. E|;iWhen I entered the university the IjK'i: number of students in all the classes kfyksy.was less than one hundred. This year &!V5:" the number of students in all depart- ferments' was 4,454. m0$. -When I entered the value of all Its igl-'; property could not have been more pi than 176,000 or 1100,000. Now the §§§ value of all its buildings, grounds, museums* libraries, etc., Is in round numbers, three and one-half million of dollars, and its endowments and trust funds about four and a half mil- lions of dollars, or a total of about eight millions of dollars. The city of Bvanston has grown with the university. When I came here the population was about 1,200. Now the population ft* 85,000.
