EXAMINATIONS.
Besides the daily examination upon the previous lecture, two General
Examinations of each class are held during the session, which every member
is required to stand. The Intermediate Examination occurs near
the middle of the session, and is upon the subjects of instruction of the
first part of the course. The Final Examination occurs near the end of
the session, and is upon the subjects of instruction of the second part of
the course only, or upon those of the entïre course. These examinations
are conducted in writing. The questions have numerical values affixed.
If the answers at any general examination amount in value to three-fourths
of the aggregate value of the questions, a Distinction is awarded to the
student, and the fact published at the close of the session. Examination
for a Proficiency or for Graduation usually coincides with a general examination.
The general and graduating examinations are conducted in each School
by the Professor, in the presence of two other Professors, forming with
him the committee of examination for that School. They are sufficiently
comprehensive and difficult to render it impossible for a student, without
steady diligence, to attain a Distinction, and candidates for a Proficiency
or for Graduation are subjected to searching interrogations on
the details as well as on the general principles of the subject, and are expected
to be accurately versed in all matters treated in the lectures and
correlative text. Moreover, the student's command of English, and his
standing at both daily and general examinations are taken into account
in estimating his qualification for honors.
