Posted here are the catalogues for 1850 and 1852, listing the students enrolled at the time (a much, much larger number than shown as graduates for any given year) and the graduates from 1839 to 1852.

Also listed is the faculty and examples of the lecture cards issued to the students for payment and admission to their courses during the current year.

Discussion of the College's rules, regulations, data, and fees

A list of the students and their hometowns for the year 1850.  Many of these students may have just been upgrading their knowledge, or dropped out after taking a number of courses.  But, most likely the majority were 'refreshing' or expanding their limited knowledge.  The number of students registered for a current year is huge compared to how may actually graduated in previous years.  Since the admission requirements and the curriculum was only two years, it might have been a case of many attended, but few succeeded.
