Indiana State University,

We are in receipt of the catalogue . of Indiana University for the y ear 1895-6. It is a neat pamphlet of one hundred and forty pages. The total enrollment for the year is eight hundred and seventy nine, an increase of one hundred and eight over last year. Of the nibety-two" counties of the State eighty-eight are represented. And Jasper Co , we notice, is represented by the proportionally very large number of ten students. And, not counting Monroe County, in which the University is located, Jasper County’s representation is larger in, proportion to its population, than that of any other county in the state, with the single exception of Benton county. All of which show that Jasper Co. people are as fully alive to the advantages of higher education as any others in the state. That Indiana University is a growing institution is shown by the fact that in 1884-5 the total attendance was only one hundred and fifty-six. .During the last four years the attendance has increased about one hundred annually. Thu rapid increase in the number of students has made the appointment of new teachers necessary. There are now sixty-five members of the faculty and there are two hundred and fifteen courses offered. These teachers are trained in thirtyeight of the best universities of this country and Europe. Three thousand volumes have been added to the Library during the year. Indiana University, as the head of the school system of the State, has more and more identified itself with the best interests of the people and with each year becomes more and more an instrument for good in the State. Catalogues will be sent to any person on application to the Register of Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.
