The number of degrees granted includes only the bachelors' degrees in the arts and in science, but not three awarded to students who completed their work before 1868 whose degrees were withheld for disciplinary reasons. In a few instances graduates of 1869-1904 are listed with their original classes, even though for one reason or another their degrees were actually awarded a year or more later. There were about 609 students who were enrolled in the College between the fall of 1868 and 1904 but who were not graduated. 31
