ADMISSION Applicants for admission to the freshman class must be at least sixteen years of age, and it is desirable that they should be two or three years older than this. No distinction is made with regard to sex, nativity, color, or place of residence. Entrance may be made at any time, provided the candidate is competent to take Up the work of the classes then in progress ; but it is very much better to begin upon the first collegiate day in September, when a large number of the classes are organized, very many of them to continue during the year. Admission to the freshman class of the University may be obtained in one of four ways : (a) by certificate from an accredited high school ; (b) by examination ; (c) by transfer of credits from some other college or university ; (d) by obtaining permission to enter certain classes as a special student. ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE FROM ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOLS* Certain public high schools and a few private preparatory schools have been, after examination, approved by the Faculty of the University, and full graduates of these schools are admitted to the freshman class without examination. Candidates for admission in this way must file with the Registrar upon entrance a certificate of graduation and of preparatory studies. Blanks for these certificates must be obtained of the Registrar in advance, and it is better to forward them to him for approval before registration days. ADMISSION BY EXAMINATION Examinations of candidates for admission to the University, are held at the University on the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before the beginning of the fall term in September, and on the two days previous to the opening of each of the other terms. Each candidate must be in attendance during the whole period of the examinations. *For an account of these, see page 5E035
