It has been ascertained that 312 of the students and graduates of this University lost their lives in the Confederate service. Taking the membership of the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies as rep- resenting the total matriculation in the University for any given pe- riod, it will be found that there were matriculated in the University in the forty-three years, 182510 1867 inclusive,* just 2929 persons. Out of these we know that 190, at least, had died before the war began. This will leave 2739 possible living alumni, (matriculates and graduates), of the Institution. Out of this number, 2729, we know that 312, or 11.39 P er cent, lost their lives in the Confederate service.
It will perhaps never be accurately known how many saw service. Of the 2739 matriculates mentioned above as probably alive in 1861, we know that 1078, or 39.35 per cent, of the total enrollment of the University for the forty-three years, 1825-1867, were in the Confed- erate army.
If we examine the records for the ten years just before the war, we shall find that there were 1331 matriculates between 1851 and 1860 inclusive; that out of these 1331 at least 759 or fifty -six and two-
- This date has been taken because a number of ex-soldiers pursued stu-
dies in the University after the war was over.
