CLASS STANDING AND EXAMINATION For the determination of class standing and for advancement and graduation the results and markings of all studies and examinations conform to the procedures followed in the Academic Department of the University. The numerals 1, 2, 3 indicate that the student has passed in the first, second and third grade; 4 indicates condition; 5 failure. In addition students may be certified in each department of study as "Passed with Honor." "Passed" or "Failed." The judgment of an instructor upon the work of a student may be determined by (a) personal contact and observation of routine work (b) by oral, written or practical examination (c) by a combination of these methods. Each department makes such rules as it deems necessary concerning the marking of students but all reports are referred to the Committees on First and Second Years or Third and Fourth Years who thereupon transmit their recommendations to the Advisory Board of the Medical School. Students who have an unabsolved failure at the end of the fourth year will not be recommended as entitled to the degree of Doctor of Medicine or permitted to enter their intern year until the failure is absolved in such manner as may be directed by the Advisory Board of the Medical School. The Faculty reserves the right to sever the connection of any student with the Medical School at any time for what it deems either mental, physical or moral unfitness for a career in Medicine. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION The candidate for the degree of Doctor of Medicine must have attained the age of twenty-one years and must be of good moral character. He must have studied Medicine four full years, and must have attended four annual courses as a matriculated student, the last of which has been spent in this School. He must have completed the required work, have fulfilled satisfactorily all special requirements, and have received a satisfactory grade throughout the entire medical course. He must have discharged all indebtedness to the School. INTERN YEAR Students entering the School in 1914 and thereafter will be required to supplement the academic course in Medicine with a year as intern in an approved hospital or laboratory or as a special worker in a department of the Medical School. COURSE IN PUBLIC HEALTH On the completion of the first three and one-half years of the medical curriculum, the student may enter upon a course in Public Health, designated as Public Health Curriculum C, involving one year of study in the College of Letters and Science and one-half year in the Medical School. On completion of the course, the degrees of Doctor of Medicine and Graduate in Public Health (Gr. P.H.) will be conferred. In the cases of persons holding the degree of Doctor of Medicine from acceptable schools, the curriculum required will be determined by the Committee on Public Health Study Lists.
