RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GRADING OP STUDENTS. Definitions—Condition—60-70. Failure—below 60. 1. A student must receive a grade of 70 per cent to pass. If he falls below 70, but receives 60 or more, he may have one re-examination a t the time specified for such re-examination, but at no other time. If he receives a grade of below 60 per cent, he must repeat the course of instruction in that subject. 2. No collegiate condition may be carried into the Sophomore year. 3. No Freshman condition may be carried into the Junior year. 4. No Sophomore condition may be carried into the Senior year. 5. No Junior condition may be carried into the second half of the Senior year. 6. No student may be a candidate for graduation who has conditions in subjects, the time of presentation of which amounts to more than 96 hours. 7. For students conditioned in the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years, reexaminations will be held during the week prior to the opening of the next collegiate year. Students who fail in the re-examination in subjects given in the first Semester of the Senior year, totalling more than 48 hours, will not be permitted to go on with the work of the second Semester, but must repeat the subjects the following year. Such re-examinations will be held at a date not later than two weeks from the original examination. 8. There shall be a general examination held at the end of each semester, and each student shall be given a grade in each subject taken, whether didactic, clinical or laboratory, and whether the subject runs through the year or not. 9. A week shall be set apart a t the end of the first semester, devoted exclusively to the mid-year examinations. 10. A standing faculty committee of five, composed of the Dean, and one representative from the instructional staff of each class may hear appeals, if in the judgment of the Dean there is substantial ground for such appeal. Their decision is to be final. 11. A student who has any failures standing against him may not be advanced to the next year without the permission of the committee. Respectfully submitted,

APPENDIX. MICROSCOPES. _ Recommended that each student be required to have an individual microscope and that he be strongly urged to purchase it at the beginning of his Freshman year. The college will rent to students who do not purchase instruments, suitable instruments a t a total rental of forty dollars, payable ten dollars per year in advance. If, at the end of four years, the student wishes to purchase the microscope, he may do so by paying the difference between forty dollars and the cost price. Each student will be required to furnish a suitable bond for the proper return of the instrument in good condition. Any injury above the ordinary wear and tear will be charged for at the actual cost of repair. The student will be given complete charge of the microscope during his entire college course. Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES SPENCER WILLIAMSON,, Chairman.

Students presenting credentials from such medical colleges will be exempt from examination in so far as the credentials cover the work of the year or years for which the applicant seeks to be credited.
