the mark "Unsatisfactory," a better mark than "Unsatisfactory"
cannot be given.
Sec. VIII. If one part of the examination, or a part of the
second or third parts of same, is marked " Unsatisfactory," or
"Poor," it must be reported as follows: Respecting entire parts,
if the mark " Unsatisfactory" has been given, the candidate can-
not again enter for examination before the expiration of three
months; if the mark " Poor" has been given, not before the ex-
piration of six months. In the case of single subdivisions of
parts 2 and 3, not before the expiration of six and eight weeks;
respectively. The time for repeating the examination is fixed by
the Chairman of the Committee, and the candidate so informed.
If an application for repeating the examination is not entered
within a year, the whole course must be repeated whether passed
in part or not. Exceptions are allowed in special cases only.
The second part examination takes place in the presence of the
Chairman. If a candidate fails to pass in this second examina-
tion he will not be admitted to any further examination. Excep-
tions to this decision are made for special reasons only.
Sec. IX. If a candidate has passed in all parts of the exami-
tion, the average mark is determined in the following manner:
The numerical values of the several marks are added together,
and the sum total divided by four; no fractions less than over
one-half considered. When the mark has been fixed, the Chair-
man sends in the examination reports to the proper authorities
(Section I.) for their approval.
Sec. X. If an applicant for examination does not appear per-
sonally before the Chairman at the proper time, or misses the
appointed date, without a valid excuse, the Chairman may defer
his application until the following term (Section III., No. 3). If
a candidate withdraws from a part of the examination already
started, without valid reason, it will affect his case to the same
extent as the mark " Poor" for that special part.
Sec. XI. The examination may be continued or repeated be-
fore that Committee, only, before which it was started. Excep-
tions maybe made for special reasons only. The references,
etc., sent in with the application will not be returned to the candi-
date until he has passed the entire examination. Should he claim
them sooner, all proper authorities (Section I.) must be notified
by the Chancellor of the Empire, before the same are returned,
that the candidate has entered but not finished the examination,
