Laboratory Examinations. A candidate who is examined in any study in which a laboratory examination is held will hand in his laboratory note-book at the hour of the laboratory examination. Laboratory note-books will be deposited, after examination, in the College office, where they will be kept for one year, subject to the order of the owners. A candidate examined in June at any place where a laboratory examination is not provided will be required to take such an examination in Cambridge in the autumn; but if he passes the written examination in June and presents a satisfactory note-book, the subject will be temporarily counted in his favor in determining the question of his admission to the School. Examination Papers. A set of recent examination papers will be sent free to any address, on application to the Dean of the Harvard Dental School, 283 Dartmouth St., Boston. Separate papers may be had in quantities of not less than six copies of any one paper (not one each of six different papers) at ten cents a dozen. STUDIES IN WHICH EXAMINATIONS ARE HELD. Examinations for admission to the Dental School will be held in the following subjects. Each candidate must offer studies amounting to 16 points. Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 are required. Electives may be chosen from Section 5. The figure attached to each study indicates the relative weight (termed points) which will be given to it in determining the question of the candidate's fitness for admission. 1. English (4) 2. Physics (2) 3.

See pages 320-336. The examinations in Botany, Zoology, Woodworking, Blacksmithing, Chipping, Filing and Fitting, Machine-tool Work, will be the same as those given in these subjects for admission to the Lawrence Scientific School.

For examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board, see page 350. DIVISION OF STUDENTS. Students are divided into three classes according to their lines of study and proficiency, and during their Junior and Senior years will receive extensive opportunities for clinical instruction and for practice in actual operations on the natural teeth and mouth. In order that the time of study may count as a full year, students of all classes must present themselves within the first week of the academic year and register their names with the Dean.
