The Courses then offered, with their attendance, were as follows: Mathematics Attendance 164 Mechanical Philosophy 105 Chemistry 280 Architectural Drawing l l 1 Mechanical Drawing 104 Freehand Drawing 102 s Vocal Music 380 I Compare these courses with the many taught today and it will be seen 1 at a glance how Cooper has forged ahead. In 1860 there was an enrollment of 1246 pupils: today the number totals 2914. The Faculty consisted of 24 members in the year of the schoo1's birth, while today there are 104 teachers and professors on the staff. What will the end of the next seventy years show?
