The examinations are held at the University, twice each year,
in accordance with the dates in the above programme. The principal
of any accredited school may, upon application, not later than May
1st, receive authority to hold the June examination in his school also.
Copies of the papers will be furnished gratis.

These examinations are held under the Honor System, no paper
being accepted unless accompanied by the usual pledge. All candidates,
who take their examinations at the time appointed, are tested
free of charge. In case of delayed entrance, where the grounds of
postponement are good, the President of the University may admit
the candidate to a special examination, for which an additional fee
of five dollars is charged. This fee is payable in advance and is in
no case returned.
