    Students who fail in one or more branches in this entrance examination may enter the first year course, but shall not be allowed to begin the second course until the entrance requirements are satisfied. The College is free to honor official credentials issued by medical colleges of equal requirements, except in the branches of study embraced in the last year of its own curriculum. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine in the y-ear 1S99 and thereafter shall have attended at least four courses of medical instruction, each course of at least six months' duration, no two courses of which shall have been in the same calendar year. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS. Candidates must be at least twenty-one years of age. They must have attended four annual courses of lectures of not less than six months' duration each at this College; or, have attended three such courses at some other recognized medical college or colleges, and one at this; or, have attended two such courses at some other recognized medical college or colleges, and two at this; or, have attended one such course at some other recognized medical college, and three at this; or, having been admitted to advanced standing in this College, shall be required to have attended at this College such courses of lectures as shall be necessary to complete the curriculum of four annual courses of lectures in medical colleges, and to have pursued, including the attendance on lectures, the study of medicine for four calendar years. Candidates must have dissected all parts of the cadaver. They must have attended six cases of obstetrics. The presentation of a satisfactory thesis is a requirement for graduation. If of con- spicuous merit it will receive honorable mention; if also of a suitable character, it may be read at the College commencement exercises. Theses must be completed and delivered to the Dean, on or before the 15th of May. The thesis which a candidate presents, must be written by himself or herself, and must be on some subject connected with medicine. Evidence of time spent with a reputable practitioner of medicine in the interim between the courses must be presented before graduation. Evidence of good moral character must be presented (this must include unexception- able conduct during attendance at the College). Tuition seventy-five dollars first year, one hundred dollars each of three other years. By a provision of the Shurtleff P^und, established by will of Rev. David Shurtleff, a number of acceptable persons, who can give satisfactory evidence of their inability to pay the regular college fees, may be enrolled as students. Income from the above source is influenced by the earnings of stock investments, therefore the number of students who can be received will vary accordingly. Applicants should consult the Registrar. There will be opportunity offered for a limited number of nurses and special assistants to earn a part of their expenses while in college. Applicants must have written recommendations of character, satisfactory to the Faculty, and must be able to pass all entrance examinations. It is hoped that as many friends of the College as are able, will personally provide special funds to aid deserving students. There is no object more worthy of bequest than medical education.
