General Examination.

Applicants are required to pass, once for all, to entitle them to matriculation,

to show both a practical knowledge of the language, as proved by orthography

and by correctness in composition, and also a theoretical
knowledge of the inflections and Syntax. In Arithmetic, they will be
required to know the four elementary processes, Vulgar and Decimal
Fractions, and the metric system of Denominate Numbers.
