The number of students was augmented to one hundred in war time, and seventy in time of peace: thirty sons of naval officers to be admitted free, the remainder at £72 per annum; and the age of admission was altered, 12-1/2 to 14 being substituted for 13 to 16. Two lieutenants, a clerk, two sergeants of the Royal Marine Artillery, and a matron were added to the complement; and Latin and Greek were introduced as part of the plan of study. In 1821 further changes were authorised:-- 1st. That the age of admission be from 12-1/2 to 13-1/2. 2nd. That no student remain more than two years, whether he completes his course or not. 3rd. That any student completing his course within two years shall be discharged. Some examination papers which are extant, dated February and April, 1822, are of the size and form familiarly known in later years as the "College sheet"; and Inman strongly insists that these papers should be circulated in the Fleet, for the benefit of midshipmen at sea. There was evidently a strong feeling among the authorities during the "twenties" of last century that the College was behind the times; for in February, 1828, we find more alterations. The sons of naval officers are to pay £40 per annum, and others £100. Again, in June of the same year, a new circular appears, with some radical alterations. The peace establishment was raised to eighty students, one-half to be sons of commissioned officers of the Navy _and Army_:-- Sons of flag and general officers to pay £80 Sons of captains, colonels, and lieut.-colonels commanding 70 Sons of commanders and under, and regimental field officers 50 Sons of officers who have lost their fathers 40 Sons of officers whose fathers were killed in action 20 While sons of civilians were to pay 125 In January, 1829, the College was first opened to commissioned naval officers who wished to study on half-pay; and on April 1st of the same year appears the first report of the Lieut.-Governor on the class of commissioned officers, seventeen in number, registering the hours of attendance on each day. On April 14th the Professor asks for some scientific apparatus for the use of commissioned officers, and encloses a syllabus of their course of study, which is as follows:-- Euclid as far as the third book, higher geometry (including some curves), algebra (including geometrical and arithmetical progression), proportion, making of logarithms, plane and spherical trigonometry, astronomy.
