However the University likes to "count" the exercises that weren't held from [[1755]]-[[1757]] (no one graduated until 4 years after the school opened, duh). Nor do they count the fact that no one graduated between [[1778]], when [[King's College]] closed as a result of the Revolutionary War, and [[1787]], when [[DeWitt Clinton]] became [[Columbia College]]'s first graduate (and transfer student). So we're up to 255 for some reason.
