    Under this section the Joint-Board have directed 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.^ In English, 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 opportunity 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. One paper shall be set in French and one in German. The papers shall be of a lower standard than those set in these subjects in the Arts and Science Preliminary Examination. The time allowed for each of these papers shall be three hours. The paper in each subject shall comprise questions in Grammar, translation into English, a piece of English, and some short sentences in English of an idiomatic character, for translation. 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. Candidates who, having taken English, Latin, Greek, or a Modern Language, on the higher standard, as prescribed by the Arts Ordinance for the Arts and Science Preliminarjq have obtained a satisfactory percentage of marks, shall be held to have passed the Medical Preliminary in these subjects ; and on the higher Mathe- matics ])aper, an intermediate pass in Mathematics is granted; Provided that all the required subjects are passed at no more than two examinations. It shall be at the Board’s discretion at all times in the case of any candidate for the Medical Preliminary who professes all his four sub- jects at one time, and who has obtained in all a number of marks equivalent to the sum of the marks required for a pass in each, to allow such candidate a pass in the whole examination, provided that in no single subject he has obtained less than half of the marks required for a pass, and that the pass-mark be reached in the English paper. V. The Preliminary Examination shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 13 (Regulations as to Examin- ations), and, subject to the provisions of tlie immediately succeeding section hereof, a candidate shall be obliged to pctss in all the required stdijects at one or not more than two examinations; Provided that he 1 For details see pu- 30, 31.
