    Mathematics, and (4) Greek or French or German: provided always that, in the case of a candidate whose native language is not English, an examination in the native language of the candidate may be substi- tuted for one in either French or German, and an examination in any other classical language for one in Latin or Greek.1 IV. The extent and standard, of the Preliminary Examination shall be determined by the Joint Board of Examiners constituted under Ordin- ance, General No. 8—[Kegulations as to Examinations']—in accordance with the terms of that Ordinance. Under this Section the Joint Board have determined that for the Medical Preliminary Examination the papers set in Latin, Greek, and Mathematics, shall be the same as those set on the lower standard in these subjects in the Arts and Science Preliminary Examination; and that the papers set in English, French, and German, shall be of a lower standard than those set in these subjects in the Arts and Science Preliminary Examination.2 It shall be in the option of any candidate for the Medical Preliminary to take the papers set on the higher standard for the Arts Preliminary in any of the subjects. Excel- lence in one or more subjects will be permitted to compensate in some measure for deficiency in any of the other subjects. Such excellence may be shown either by attaining a high percentage of marks on the lower standard, or by passing'on the higher standard. Candidates who, having taken English, Latin, Greek, Mathematics, or a Modern Language, on the higher standard, as prescribed by the Arts Ordinance for the Arts and Science Preliminary, have obtained a satisfactory percentage of marks, shall be held to have passed the Medical Preliminary in these subjects, provided that all the subjects required by the regulations of the General Medical Council are taken at the same time. V. The Preliminary Examination is conducted in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance, General No. 8—[Regulations as to Examina- tions]—-and, subject to the provisions of the immediately succeeding section hereof, the entire examination must be passed at one and the same time. VI. A degree in Arts or in Science (not being a degree honoris causa tantum) in any of the Universities of the United Kingdom, or in any Colonial or Foreign University specially recognised for the purpose by the University Court, shall exempt from the Preliminary Examination; and the Joint Board of Examiners appointed under the provisions of Ordinance, General No. 8—[Regulations as to Examinations]—shall have power to determine what examinations, other than those for the degrees hereinbefore mentioned, shall be accepted, either in whole or in part, in place of the preliminary examination. The Joint Board have issued the following rules under the heading— 1 The candidate for the Degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery must have been registered in the books of the General Medical Council at least live years prior to the date of his graduation. In order to be so registered he must transmit to James Robertson, Esq., the Scottish Branch Registrar. 1 George Square, Edinburgh, together with a printed form of application, which may be obtained from the Assistant-Clerk (Matriculation Office), a certificate of having passed the Pre- liminary E xam ination. 2 For details of examination 1894-95, see pp. 88-30.
