Abstract
EDINBURGH.—The matriculation returns for the past year have now been completed, and show a considerable increase in the number of students in residence over any former period. The numbers on the register for 1876 were 2,302, for 1877 they amount to 2,560. The students are divided between the several faculties as follows:—In the faculty of arts, 953 students; of theology, 67; of law, 364; and of medicine, 1,176. The ground is now being cleared for the erection of the University Extension Buildings, which, with the aid of the Government grant, will be vigorously proceeded with, and thus furnish the additional accommodation so urgently required for the increasing number of students, and for the fuller development of the teaching resources of the University.
