Out of 2,228 students on the books of the University colleges there were thus 181 who rose from the status of undergraduates to that of graduates —a percentage of 8-1, as against 8-4 for 1911. Two degrees of Doctor were awarded in medicine. The degree in Agriculture was the first conferred, and there have not yet been any Doctors of Music or Bachelors of Veterinary Science. Affiliated Colleges. Reference to Table Ma will show that there were 2,114 students actually in attendance at the four University colleges, an increase of 338 over the number for the previous year. Of these, 89 were graduates, 1,341 were undergraduates, and 684 were unmatriculated students. In addition to the matriculated students mentioned above, there were 114 students attached to the various University colleges, but exempt from lectures—that is, they were prevented by distance or by the necessity of earning their living from attending lectures at the college, but were allowed to keep terms, except in certain science and professional subjects, by passing the annual college examination.
