*University scholarships of former sessions, therefore not candidates for special honors.
Note.—The principals think it right to express their gratification at the general character of the school for good conduct and hard study, and at the excellent spirit displayed from the beginning to the close of the session. They are especially pleased that the influence of the system of honors was almost universal, that so many boys were stimulated to reach the highest divisions, and that among them are names of all classes, the youngest as well as the oldest.
