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 the presence of two other Professors, forming with him the committee
of examination for the school.

The candidates for graduation are subjected to searching interrogations
on the details and niceties as well as the leading principles of
the subject, and they are expected to be accurately versed in all the
topics treated of in the lectures and correlative text.

These examinations are chiefly carried on 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 any of the honors of the Institution, all
candidates for graduation are required to exhibit in their examinations
due qualifications in this respect.
