MISCELLANY.

EXAMINATIONS.

Written examinations are held at the close of each term or oftener, and whenever any study has been finally completed. Any student failing to answer correctly 75 per cent, of the questions proposed, loses all credit for that study, and is precluded from proceeding with any other studies, without special permission. A record is kept of each student's term work and standing, and from this his final certificate of graduation is made up. A statement of the scholarship and conduct of each student will be sent to his parent or guardian as soon as may be after the end of each term.

DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES.

The law provides that, " on recommendation of the Faculty, the Trustees may authorize the Regent, as President of the University, to issue diplomas to such persons as shall have completed satisfactorily the required studies, and sustained the examination therein, conferring such Literary and Scientific Degrees as are usually conferred by Universities for similar or equivalent courses
