EXAMINATION FOR DIPLOMA. 
747 
The seal of each separate envelope is to be broken in the presence of the 
assembled Candidates, at the commencement of the time appointed in the 
Time-Table. This direction, as well as the order and hours of examination 
laid down in the Time-Table, must be strictly observed. 
I beg to invite your careful attention to tlie “Advice to Candidates” at 
the foot of the enclosed copies of the Time-Table, and to the forms which 
will be sent with the papers. 
One of the forms for each subject will have to be signed by 
two members of the local board. To provide for this it will 
be necessary that you should immediately make arrange¬ 
ments with your colleagues on the local board to secure the 
attendance of a sufficient number of them in rotation on the 
different evenings of the examination. 
The college will provide writing paper of foolscap size, 
scribbling paper for rough drafts, and blotting paper for the 
use of the candidates, who should be desired to bring their 
own pens and inkstand to the examination-room, but nothing 
else. They must be required, on entering the examination- 
room, to give up all books, papers, memoranda, writing 
books, or blotting paper which they may have brought with 
them, under the penalty of immediate exclusion from the 
examination, and the rejection of any papers they may have 
written, if any such articles should hereafter be found in 
their possession. After such notice the plea of accident or 
forgetfulness cannot be admitted. 
The candidates should sit, in the order of their numbers, 
as far apart from each other as possible. 
Three hours only are allowed for each paper. 
All writing must cease at the end of three hours to a 
moment; and, if there is no clock in the room, notice should 
be given to the candidates when one or two hours have 
elapsed, and again when they are within ten minutes of the 
end of each sitting. 
The candidates should leave their answers at their seats, 
after having carefully fastened them all together in order 
through the upper left-hand corner. 
The papers should then be collected, and arranged in the 
order of the candidates’ numbers. After a separate declara¬ 
tion has been filled up and signed in reference to the papers 
on each subject, it should be tied up with them ; and the 
whole set or sets completed each evening should be sealed up 
and forwarded to me. 
A numbered card and a copy of the time-table are enclosed 
for each candidate. Previously to the distribution of the 
cards, it would be well for you to make a list of the candi¬ 
dates, with the number of each opposite to his name, for
