work and have it counted. Literary-Scientific students who enter with deficiencies in French or German may make up such deficiencies by taking the elementary work in those languages in addition to the required number of studies.

[For the Conditions of Admission to the Departments of Engineering, Chemistry and Medicine, consult the fuller statements of these departments.]

Examinations for Admission will be held in the large hall of the Science Building (second story) at the close and at the opening of each college year. See Calendar. The results of examinations will be reported immediately to the Committee on Admission, who will furnish the successful candidates with Certificates of Approval to be presented by them to the President.

ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE

Candidates will be admitted to any of the above Departments without examination, in case they bring Certificates of Graduation from Preparatory Schools whose Courses of Study fully meet the above requirements. If the certificate is defective in respect to any required study, the student will be examined in that study. Certificates must be made out on blank forms furnished by the Registrar. Students admitted by certificate will be regarded as being on probation the first half-year.

SPECIAL EXAMINATION IN ENGLISH

Every candidate for admission to any undergraduate department of the University will be required, at the time of entrance, to give evidence that he can write the English Language in a legible hand and with correctness in spelling, punctuation and construction. And no student will be admitted as a full matriculant until he has satisfied his examiners by a written test that he has read with care and intelligence the English works named in the "Requirements for Admission" (p. 17) or their equivalents.

Students admitted conditionally will be allowed one year in which to make up all deficiencies. The first two weeks in June are appointed for examination in entrance delinquencies.

ADMISSION OF SPECIAL STUDENTS

Persons of suitable age and attainments may, by special permission of the Faculty and by the payment of a specified fee, pursue certain studies in connection with the regular college classes without becoming matriculate members of the University. The classes which are open to such students, with the conditions of admission, will be made known upon application to the President. Special Students must satisfy the Committee on Admission as to their ability to prosecute successfully the branches which they desire to pursue, and also obtain from the President an order for their admission to the University. They will be registered and enrolled in the same manner as regular students, and from the time of their admission will be entitled to the privileges, and subject to all the regulations of the University, but cannot be candidates for a degree.

ENROLMENT

All students are required to enroll themselves in their respective courses of study at the beginning of each half-year.

On the first day of the session, from 9 A. M. to 12 M., enrolment cards may be obtained at the room of the Committee on Studies. These cards are to be immediately filled out and submitted to the Committee for their endorsement. When so endorsed they are to be presented by the students to the Instructors for their signatures. The cards must be returned to the Committee, properly signed, within seven days.

Instructors will make up their class lists only from the endorsed cards presented by the students.

Absences will be counted from the first exercises of the studies

chosen.

21

No changes of studies, except such as are sanctioned by the Committee, will be allowed.

Decision regarding the choice of studies should be reached before the opening of the Annual Session. For this purpose, Instructors will gladly advise with students at any time.

REGISTRATION

Students intending to enter the University should send their Entrance Certificates or other credentials to the Committee on Admission not later than the week preceding the opening of the Fall term. They will obtain from the Committee Certificates of Admission, which are to be taken, first, to the President for his signature; then to the Treasurer to get his receipt for the Registration fee (see ExPENSES, post). Students are then entitled to enter their names in the Register, and so become regular members of the University.
