January, and the 31st December, 1884, was 915. The council were directing their attention to whether increased facilities might not be afforded in King's College to that numerous and valuable class of students who are designed for commercial pursuits, by supplying them with a regular system of instruction, specially adapted to their intended course of life, at the same time that every opportunity is held out to them of improving in other branches of useful learning. A very favourable report was also made of the attention of the students to their religious and literary duties, and of the progress they were making in their various studies. Several donations had been received; among which was a large and valuable collection of books from William Marsden, Esq., connected with oriental literature and general philology, for which a separate apartment, to be called the Marsden Museum, is to be erected. Three hundred pounds was received from P. H. Leathes, Esq. The report concluded by setting forth that, after all expenditure, there remained a clear sum of 1500l. at the disposal of the council.
