The aggregate number of students for the current year is two hundred and one. The State Scholarships, twenty-seven in number, have been entirely full for several years past, and although all applications for scholarships have been granwd up to this time, it is evident that hereafter there will be more applications than vacancies, and that a strict conformance with the law must be Observed in the appointments. The act of legislature requires, in case there are more applications for the bounty of the State than there are vacancies to be filled on the part of the State, said Board shall give the preference to such young men as are fitting themselves for agriculture and mechanical or manufacturing occupations in life, who are or shall become orphans through the death of a parent in the naval or military service of the United States; next to them, such as are most in need of pecuniary assistance; and, furthermore, they shall provide that the appointments shall be distributed, as far as practicable, among the several counties, in proportion to their population.
