ADMISSION

For changes in the requirements for admission on and after September, i8gg, see page 43. Applicants for admission to the freshman class must be at least sixteen years of age, and it is desirable that they be two or three years older than this. 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 better to begin upon the first collegiate day in September. Admission to the freshman class of the University may be obtained in one of three ways: (a) by certificate from a fully accredited high school; (b) by examination; (c) by transfer of credits from some other college or university. 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 from the Registrar in advance, and it is better to forward them to him for approval before registration days.

*For an account of these, see "Accredited High Schools," p. 255.
