of

No one can be admitted to the Freshman Class under the age fifteen years, or to an advanced standing without a corresponding increase of age.

All candidates for advanced standing are examined in the preparatory studies, and also in those previously pursued by the classes they propose to enter, or in other studies equivalent to them. No candidate can be admitted later than at the beginning of the Senior year.

A student who has accomplished half or more of the preparatory course, may be examined on that part, and receive credit therefor. In such a case, he will be examined, in any subsequent year in which he may present himself, only on those studies on which he has not already passed. But no credit will be given unless the candidate is able to pass on at least half of the preparatory course.

The regular examination for admission is held on the Friday and Saturday of Commencement Week. All candidates must be present at 9 A. M. on the former day. A second examination is held, commencing on the day preceding the first day of the Fall Term.

Candidates may be examined in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Chicago, provided that they make application to the President before June 1st. The time of these examinations will be Thursday and Friday of Commencement Week. But, if no applications are received before June 1st, these examinations will not be held.

Ladies are admitted to equal privileges in the University with gentlemen.

All candidates for admission must present satisfactory testimonials of good moral character; and certificates of regular dismission will be required from those who have been members of other colleges.
