III—EXAMINATIONS FOR GRADUATION.
These are partly oral and partly in writing, and are conducted
by the Professor of the school, in the presence of two other
Professors, forming with him the committee of examination for
the school. Here the student is subjected to searching interrogations
upon the details and niceties, as well as the leading
principles of the subject, and he is expected to be accurately
versed in all the topics treated of in the lectures and the
correlative texts.
As a due acquaintance with our own language is made
indispensable to the attainment of even the inferior honors of
the University, all candidates for degrees are subjected to an
examination, in order to test their qualifications in this respect.
