General Examination.
Applicants are required to pass, once for all, to entitle them to matriculation,
on their first coming to the University, an examination in the
English language and in arithmetic. In English, they will be required
to show both a practical knowledge of the language, as proved by
orthography and by correctness in composition, and a theoretical
knowledge of the inflections and Syntax. In Arithmetic, they will be
required to know the elementary processes, Vulgar and Decimal Fractions,
Proportion and the metric system of Denominate Numbers.
