MATRICULATION.

To be admitted as a student of the University, the applicant
must be at least sixteen years of age; but the Faculty may dispense
with this requirement, in favor of one who has a brother,
of the requisite age, entering at the same time.

If the applicant for admission has been a student at any other
incorporated seminary, he must produce a certificate from such
seminary, or other satisfactory evidence of general good conduct.

There is no prescribed course of studies in this institution.
Every student may select the schools he will attend: but, in the
academic department, he is required to attend at least three,
unless, upon the written request of his parent or guardian, or for
good cause shown, the Faculty shall allow him to attend less
than three.

Students are permitted to exchange schools, with transfer of
fees, within one week after admission: thereafter, no exchange
is allowed, except by leave of the Faculty, and then, without
transfer of fees.
