University Sessions, 1825-1880
The first three sessions of the University were aligned to the calendar year, however, in 1827 the academic year was established as beginning in September of each year. In 1842, October 1st became the beginning of the academic year and that carried through until 1891, at which time it changed to the middle of September.
