Reminiscences of Public Men in Alabama.


THE UNIVERSITY DURING THE WAR.


It is difficult to publish an authentic Catalogue of the Cadets of the University, or of other material facts in connection with the history of the Institution during the war. There are remaining among the archives only some unsatisfactory frag- ments, and we find no Catalogues. It is sufficient to say that, during that period, the College roll reached its greatest numbers. In 1862-'3 there were 256 Cadets; and in 1863-'4, the number reached 341. In 1865, the University closed with 265 Cadets. The officers on duty at the University at various times, from the be- ginning to the close of the war, are given below :

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE COLLEGE BUILDINGS.


On the 4th of April, 1865, the main buildings of the University, including the Rotundo, were destroyed by fire, by the United States troops. The College Li- brary, and also the Libraries of the Erosophic and Philomathic Societies, were consumed. The President's Mansion, the Observatory, and five cottages for Pro- fessors, remained,

THE PRESENT CAPACITY OF THE BUILDINGS.


In 1868, a new and splendid edifice, capable of accommodating two hundred Cadets, was erected. This building contains a large,'mess-hall, and commodious offices and recitation rooms, as well as extensive dormitories. There is now abun- dant room at the University for two hundred Cadets, and all necessary officers.

FINAL NOTE.


As in all works for the press, however attentively the proof-sheets may be ex- amined, some typographical errors will escape correction, so in this volume, a few may be detected by the careful reader-not of sufficient importance, how- ever, as to require a formal enumeration. Whatever they may be, the super- visor, representing the author in publication, takes all the blame upon himself.
