    Preliminary Examination. The papers set in English (i.) in October, 1895, and in April and October, 1896, shall be of a lower standard than the papers set in this subject in the Arts and Science Prelimin- ary Examination; (ii.) in and after April, 1897, the papers set in English shall no longer be of the same character as the paper on English in the Arts and Science Preliminary Examination; no set books shall be prescribed, nor shall a general knowledge of the life and works of the greater authors be expected of candidates, but one or two questions may be set, giving an opportunity to candidates to show a knowledge of famous literary works. The historical questions shall not be confined to any one period, but shall cover the whole of British History, and shall be set in such a way as to give an oppor- tunity to candidates who have confined their studies to a single period to show their knowledge. A single three hours’ paper shall be set, containing an essay, a paraphrase, two questions on History, two on Geography, four on Grammar (including correction of sentences, parsing, analysis of sentences, and derivations), two of a literary and general kind. Eight answers shall be required. The essay, the paraphrase, one answer on History and one on Geography shall be compulsory. In October, 1895, and in April and October, 1896, alternative papers will be set in English, one on the lines laid down in paragraph (i.), and the other on the lines laid down in paragraph (ii.), and candidates may select whichever they prefer. It shall be in the option of any candidate for the Medical Prelimin- ary to take the papers set on the higher standard for the Arts Pre- liminary in any of the subjects. Excellence 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.1 V. The Preliminary Examination is conducted in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 13—[Regulations as to Examinations]— 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 recognized 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 No. 13—[Regulations as to Examinations]—shall have power to determine what examinations, other than those for the degrees here- inbefore mentioned, shall be accepted, either in whole or in part, in place of the preliminary examination. 1 For further details of Examination 1895-96, see pp. 30—32.
