3.—EXAMINATIONS FOR GRADUATION.
The examinations for graduation are held in the last month
of the session. They are conducted, in each school, by the
Professor thereof, in presence of two other Professors, forming
with him the committee of examination for the school.
The candidates for graduation are subjected to searching
34
principles of the subject, and they are expected to be accurately
versed in all the topics treated of in the lectures and
correlative texts.
These examinations are carried on chiefly in writing; but
in some of the schools they are partly oral.
☞ As a due acquaintance with the English language is indispensable
to the attainment of even the inferior honors of
the institution, all candidates for graduation are subjected to
a preliminary examination, to test their qualifications in this
respect.
