3^ UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 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. The scholarship examinations* held each year on the first Saturday in June and the day preceding, in the several counties of the state, afford an opportunity to' pass the entrance examinations before coming to the University, since these examinations are taken as equivalents of the regular entrance examinations. The subjects upon which the entrance examinations are held are described below. Text-books are named merely to aid in showing the requirements. Equivalents are accepted. The examinations which a candidate is required to pass depend in part on which of the four colleges of the University he intends to enter. In the following statement of subjects for examination, those requirements which are common to all the colleges are given first; then follow statements of the additional requirements for each college. To determine on what subjects he must pass examinations, then, a candidate must add to the uniform requirements first stated those classed as additional for the particular college he wishes to enter. SUBJECTS IN WHICH ALL, CANDIDATES FOR ADMISSION MUST BE EXAMINED For additional requirements for the different colleges, see pages 38, 39, 40.] 1.
