A student may be admitted to the military class, or may be assigned to official duty in the Battalion, upon the conditions following, viz: He must have finished the studies of his course, or allowed equivalents, up to the time of such admission or assignments. He must have at that time, and must continue to maintain, such standing in other University studies, as will permit him to take a fourth study.

Freshmen may enter the military class at the beginning of the Spring term; they may be appointed corporals.

In an emergency students may be appointed to commands other than those specified in Rule 3. 5. A suitable number of students, not to exceed fifteen, may be assigned by the Professor of Military Science to be musicians. So long as they perform satisfactorily the duties of musicians they shall be exempt from other military duty. 6. During the Spring term the Faculty shall appoint a committee who shall examine candidates for nomination to the Governor of the State to receive commissions in the State militia. This examination shall be upon the theoretical studies pursued in the military classes, and in the practical work of the parade ground, taught at this University.
