__________________________________________________________
     (1)Dr. Ewing Jordan, secretary of the Alumni Society of the University of
Pennsylvania, kindly prepared this list.  He writes:  "The first Southern stu-
dent matriculated in the College May 25, 1754.  With the exception of a very
imperfect matriculation list, found only a few years ago, covering the period
from 1754-1775, it is nearly impossible to give any accurate figures in regard
to the greatest number of Southern matriculates at any special period during
the early years, as well as the number that matriculated before the Revolu-
tion.  Previous to 1775, thirty-five Southern students were graduated from our
College Department, and about half that number were graduated from our
Medical School.  Maybe the number of Southern matriculates in our Univer-
sity previous to the Revolution numbered at least twice, if not four times, as
many as the total number of graduates I have just given.  That our Univer-
sity was a favorite institution with Southern students and others from the
West Indies during the early years of its existence, can readily be inferred
from consulting its graduate lists.  When we come down to a lated period we
can give more accurate statistics, especially concerning our Medical School,
where the Southern matriculates from 1810-1861 amounted to about seven
thousand.  I regret that I am unable, under the circumstances, to answer
more accurately your queries."
