| NOTE: There has hitherto been no regular certificate of graduation, for the present system is the result of gradual growth. The following list embraces the names of those who, at the time of leaving the institution, were sufficiently advanced in their studies to be regarded as alumni. The years are the dates of graduation. The first five belong to the Pioneer School. Hereafter there will be a uniform course for those who receive the diploma of the Academy. |
