Changes in Admission Examinations

In June, 1910, and thereafter, instead of the four papers hitherto set in Elementary German, Advanced German, Elementary French, and Advanced French, there will be but two papers, the one bearing the title "German," and the other bearing the title "French."

These papers, which will be each three hours in length, will be so arranged that they may be taken by candidates who are prepared to meet either the Elementary or the Advanced requirement in these languages, or both. These changes are changes in the form of the examinations merely. No changes have been made in the definitions.

German.

The German paper will consist of three parts--A, B, and C--each part containing a passage for translation into English and a composition passage.

A candidate passing parts A and B will be credited with Elementary German for admission; a candidate passing part C will be credited with Advanced German, provided he has already passed Elementary German; a candidate passing parts B and C will be credited with both Elementary and Advanced German. A candidate who takes parts B and C, but who fails to receive a pass mark in Advanced German, will, if he shows sufficient knowledge, be credited with Elementary German.

French.

The French paper will consist of three parts--A, B, and C.

A candidate passing parts A and B will be credited with Elementary French for admission; a candidate passing part C will be credited with Advanced French, provided he has already passed Elementary French; a candidate passing parts B and C will be credited with both Elementary and Advanced French. A candidate who takes parts B and C, but who fails to receive a pass mark in Advanced French, will, if he shows sufficient knowledge, be credited with Elementary French.
