(2)  A  teacher's  permanent  certificate  issued  by  a  State  Depart- 
ment of  Education. 
(3)  The  certificate  of  a  legally  authorized  State  Examining  Board 
covering  the  required  subjects. 
(4)  A  certificate  showing  one  year's  completed  work  in  an  ap- 
proved high  school,  or  its  equivalent,  officially  signed  and  sealed 
by  the  principal  or  other  authorized  officer  of  the  school. 
The  applicant  can  obtain  from  the  Dean  of  this  College  a  blank 
certificate  showing  the  required  subjects  of  preliminary  education. 
He  must  have  inserted  therein  by  the  principal,  or  other  authorized 
officer  of  the  school,  the  particulars  indicated.  Careful  attention  to 
these  details  will  prevent  delay,  expense,  and  complications. 
It  is  very  desirable  that  all  certificates  be  forwarded  to  the  Dean 
on  or  before  the  15th  day  of  September.  These  will  be  submitted 
to  the  State  Examiner,  who  will  approve  them  so  far  as  the  studies 
pursued  cover  the  requirements  for  matriculation,  and  his  report, 
with  the  credit  due,  will  be  promptly  sent  by  the  Dean  to  the 
applicant. 
ADMISSION  BY  EXAMINATION. 
An  applicant  who  cannot  present  a  satisfactory  diploma  or  certifi- 
cate will  be  required  to  pass  an  entrance  examination.  Credit  will 
be  given  to  each  student  for  preliminary  studies  as  indicated  by  the 
State  Examiner  on  the  application  certificate,  but  deficiencies 
must  be  made  up  in  the  examination. 
The  examination  will  be  conducted  by  the  State  Department  of 
Education  and  will  cover  the  following  required  subjects  and  such 
of  the  elective  subjects  as  each  student  may  select.  The  value  or 
credit  given  to  each  subject  will  be  indicated  by  marks,  and  a 
minimum  of  not  less  than  16  counts  (four  of  which  must  be 
obtained  for  algebra  and  four  for  languages)  will  be  required  of 
each  student. 
A  detailed  statement  of  the  studies  and  of  approved  text-books 
for  the  guidance  of  students  in  preparatory  work  is  herewith  pre- 
sented. It  is  urged  upon  those  who  have  not  the  necessary  certifi- 
cate of  scholastic  attendance,  that  they  carefully  select  their  electives- 
and  prepare  for  the  examination  by  personal  study  or  private  tutor- 
ing prior  to  matriculation,  and  to  facilitate  this,  the  names  of  the 
text-books  recommended  for  review  are  attached.
