There will be a vacation of ten days at Christmas time, and four days at Easter. The* Christmas vacation will commence the day before Christmas and end on the 2nd day of January following. The Easter vacation will commence on the Thursday before Good Friday and end on the following Monday. 80. There will be four olaeses. Cadets on joining the Royal Military College will be placed in the fourth class, and if qualified will pass suc- cessively into the first class. •^ 81. The subjects of instruction, obligatory and voluntary, for each class, throoghout the entire course, are shown in Table I, page 20. 82. The weekly attendance of each class and the total number of hours available for each subject during the full course of instruction, obli- gatory and voluntary, is given in Table II, page 21. 83. The marks assigned for every subject in the full course, obliga tory and voluntary, and for the obligatory sections respectively of such subjects are shown in Tables III and IV, pages 22, 23 and 24. In these Tables the subjects of instruction embraced in the Military course are marked (M), those of the civil course (C). those common to military and civil courses (M) (C). 84. Bzaminations will be held towards the end of each Term to ascertain the qualifications of Cadets for class promotion and for final graduation. 85. A Cadet will be liable to be examined at the annual examination of any term upon any part of each subject of the course of instruction of hia present or previous clasees, whether obligatory or voluntary. (a.) The sections of the back course of previous classes in which he will be examined will be notified about three months before the examina- tion. The examinatioBB in the back sections will usually be restricted to he work of the immediately preceding class. 15 86. Intermediate exas ioations may also be held daring the term, the marks obtained at which will ba amalgamated with those awarded at the annual examinations. These examinations will be limited to the course of instruction of the Term in which they are held. 87. Gadets passing from the 3rd to the 2nd class, or from the 2nd to the 1st class, who huve not obtained the qnalifyino: minimum in certain obligatory sabjeots in the lower of these classee, will be examined at the ensuing Term examinations in such subjects in ihe papers of the class into which they have passed, or if the instruction in these subjects is completed in the lowor class, then in the papers of the lower class. In the latter case the marks obtained in the previous examination will be cancelled, and the maximum marks allowed to be counted at second examination will be the qualifying minimum of the lower class. (a) If no time is set apart in the higher class for the study of these subjects, it may be taken from that assigned to any voluntary section of any obligatory subject or to any wholly voluntary subject of that class. (6.) No special instruction can be claimed, other than during the reeular hours of attendance at the College of the Instructors of these sabjeots, and then only to such extent as shall not materially interfere with the primary demands of the classes under ordinary course of instruction. (e.) A Cadet, who, on the completion of an obligatory sabject, has failed to qualify, either in the final ezaminatioc or for the entire course of that subject, but who is allowed a second examination in it for the purpose of qualifying for a diploma, can only count at this second exam- ination such marks as are necessary to make up the qualifying minimum for the entire subject, 88. When any subject of 'netruction is divided into obligatory and yoluntary sections the intermediate examination will be on the obligatory sections only. 89. For voluntary subjects a Cadot in any class may elect to be examined in any section of the same subject allotted to a lower class instead of in t^e voluntary work of that subject belonging to his own class, provided that he has not previously qnalided in that section. He can, however, count only half the maximum marks of the lower class. (a.) A Cadet must notify his intention to be examined in a volun- tary paper belonging to a class lower than his own at least three months before the date of examination. 90. When Iwo or more subjects are alternative as obligatory or volun* tary for examination, a Cadet intending to take up both subjects must notify the Instructor at the commencement of the Term which s'fbject he desires to select as obligatory. 91. A Cadet who does not wieh to go through a course of instruQiion in any particular wholly voluntary sabject, wilfdevote the time allotted to it to such other whoUv voluntary subject as he may select ; or if not electing to study any wholly voluntary subject, then he will be required 1« ri to devoto the time thereby available to the stody of auoh obligatory or vohmtartf seoticms of an obligatory aabject, as may be directed by the Gommandant. ^ (a.) A Cadet who in any class does not wish to take np the voluntary sections of any particular obligatory subject, will, after the compktion of the oblatory sections of the class in such subject, devote the time thus available to tbo study of such obligatory or voluntary sections of other oUigatory subjects as he may select, and which may be approved by the Ck>mmandant. The subject approved must be adhered to during the term. 92. A Oadet desiring to study any subject, the whole of which is voluntary, must notify his wish to do so to the Gommandant within yl^^^en days of the commencement of a Term. If his request is approved he will be required to coDt>.nue the study of the subject to within thirty days of the end of the Term. A Cadet will not be permitted to commence the study of a voluntary subject unless the Gommandant is satisfied that there is a reasonable probability of bis passing the qualifying examination at the end of the Term in all the obligatory subjects. 93. No voluntary section of an obligatory subject of instruction shall be commenced by. or gain any marks for, a Oadet, until the Professor is satisfied that he is simoiently forward in the obligatory section, and he has obtained the approval of the Gommandant to commence voluntary work. 94 If a Cadet is absent the whole of any portion of a yearly examina- tion in consequence of sickness, rustication, or any other cause, be will, on his return for the ensuing Term, be required to nass in the whole of the obligatory subjects of the examinations whioa he missed. Tbo maximum marks which he will be allowed to count in any of these subjects will be two-thirds the maximum marks assigned to these subjects. He will not be allowed to be specially examined in any voluntary section of an obligatory subject which he has missed. He will be allowed to count marks fur prior intermediate examinations, both obligatory and voluntary, and also for all Notes, Drawings, etc., which he has executed during the Term. In tho case of sickness he will, however, have the option of accepting qualifying marks only, without examination, if the Professors concerned deem him deserving of them. 95. If the subject missed is one the whole of which is voluntary, the maximum allowed will be the qualifying minimum for " Pass " of that subjtict. 96. If the absence of a cadet from examination occurs in his final year, any examination he may have missed will be held at such time as may be determined by the Commandant, and will be subject to the rules s^pecified in clauses 94 and 95. 9T. If a Cadet is absent from sickness, rustication or any other cause, at any intirmediate examination, marks will be allotted to him at the end of the Term in each obligatory or wholly voluntaiy subject which he has missed, in such proportion as be may obtain at the other examina- tions during the Term. Marks will not be allowed for any examination in voluntary sections of obligatory sabjeota which may bt misstKl. w ^im 98. If a Cadet affords to, or obtains from, another Cadet, any aaaist- anoe daring any examination, or if ho makes oae of any improper means of obtaining information relative to any examination, he will if it is his final examination for graduation, be debarred from receiving any Diploma; if at any annnal examination other than his final, or at any intermediate examination, he wilt be EusHcatei, and, in addition, lose all the marks given for the particalar paper, und will not be re-examined in it. 99. A maximum number of marks will be allotted to each class for ench subject of inB'.raction for each term, distiognishing between the obligatory and voluntary 8eclions of such subjects. 100. All marks, whether above or below minimum, obtained in as obligatory subject in any class, will count for place for class promotion, for Pass and for Diplomu. 101. Marks above qualifying minimum which may be obtained for an obligatory eubject in any class will not count towards making up any deficiency in the qualifying minimum at they{na2 examinatioo in the same subject, but all marks obtained for an obligatory subject in any class will count towards making up the final total for the full course of that com- pleted subject. 103. In voluntary sections of obligatory subjects marks are not counted to a Cadet unless he obtains one-tbird marks in that section, 103. No puhj?cf, the whole of which is voluntary, shall count for marks at any cxamipaiion unless ttie Cadet obtains the qualifying minimum of such subject, which minimum shall in no subject be less than one-third of the maximum marks . 104. The proportion of marks assigned to thr whole of the intermediate examiwitions in any class will not exceed one-half of the total allotted for the Term to that class, exclusive of marks assigned for Drawings, Notes, Becitations, &o., &c. 105. Marks will be assigned at the end of term for Notes, Becita- tions and Drawings executed by any class during the current Term. Those for Notes and Kecitations will nut exceed one-sixth of the total allotted to that class. Eaoh Drawing, or set of Drawings, will have a specified maximum attached to it. 106. From the maximum number of marks assigned for conduct, deductions will be made only as recorded in the Defaulters' Book. The character recorded on the Certificate of Discharge will be in the terms authorized by Queen's Eegulations. 107. For marks for Discipline, N. G. O's will be classified in each rank at the end of every Term, in one of four grades of general efficiency, viz.: A, B, C, D. The proportion of marks to be assigned for each grade will be: — A Or Very good 100 p. c. B " Good 75 " O " Moderate 60 D « Indifierent 25 8 Of the maximum marks ' allotted to eaoh rank. It The marks ooantod will be sabjeot to dedaotione for entries in the Defaalters' .Book against the N. 0. O. Discipline marks. No marks will be counted for acting rank, or for permanent rank held for a less period than 28 days. 108. For marks for DrillH and BxeroiseS and for Non-Gom missioned Officers as Drill Instructors, Cadets will bo olaHsified in each branch at the end of every Term in one of four grades of ezportnoss, A, B, 0, D.

The wholly voluntary subjeots of Instruction are: — Chemistry. Geology and ilinerajogy combined. Civil Bngineering. Architeotnrn. A Cadet may study any one, or all of these subjects ; but he is per* mitted to count marks only in ai>y three of them. The marks for Oivil Bngineering and Architecture will bo recorded separately. A Cadet who electH to study both Civil Engineering and Architecture is permitted to count for each of the separate subjects, the p. o of marks he may obtain in the sections common to both. 110. In practical Geometry and Bngineering Drawing combined, in Military Engineering, and in Surveying, Military Topography, and Beconnaissance combined, a Cadet in order to qualify must do so in Draw- ings and Bzaminations, separately, as well as in the Drawings and Examinations comcined. (a.) He must complete a specified number of drawings, each of which must be passed by the Professor. Each drawing, or set of draw- ings, will have a specified number of marks allotted to it, and the Cadet must quality on the aggregate of ihefull course of these drawings. (b.) The qualifying p. c. for examinations and drawings separately will be that of the fail subject, t. e., for examinations and drawings together; but a deficiency in either separately, provided it does not exceed 10 p. c. of the maximum assigned to the section in which the deficiency occurs, may be compensated for by an excess ot marks obtained in the other section sufficient to make up the qualifying p. c. for the full subject. 111. To qualify for any Diploma of Graduation, or to entitle to record " Pass " for Fhysics on a Diploma, it is compulsory that a Cadet shall also obtain the qualifying minimam in the coarse of .arf'eme/uar^ Inorganic Chemistry studied in the second olasa: This limited knowledge of Chemistry being necessary for prosecuting the study of Physics. ^ m- 19 112. The reqaisite marks in Elementary Inorganic GhemiBtry neoes- sary to record '* PasB" for Phyiics, may be obtained i y a Cadet either in the eeoond or first class, and will be coanted nnder the head of Ohemistry in his general total; bat they will not entitle him to a record of *' Pass *' in Chemi$try unless he alto obtains the qualifying minimum for the full course of Inorganic Chemistry. 113. In the Ist and 2nd Clnnsea painting in monochrome from copies will be combined for qualification with drawing from copies, object, or nature. (a.) The voluntaTy marks unsigned to 2nd and let Classes are avail- able mly for drawing and painting in monochrome, from objects or nature; or painting in co'ours from copy, or object, or nature. Of these marks not more than one third may be assigned solely for voluntary attendances. (6.) The voluntary marks assigned to the 3rd Class are available only for drawing or painting in monochrome, from copies, objecit or nature. 114. When the proportion of marks counted, in its relation to the maximum available, in expressed by a '* Daoimal," it shall be recorded up to two places : the second figure being taken to the nearest possible: Example. • 784 recorded as ' 78 only •785 recorded as '79 115. The aggregate decimals oi obligatory and voluntary sections of any subject, or of any two ur more dififeront subjects, Hhall be determined by dividing the total marhs obtained in the seutiona or subjects by the sum of the maximum marks available for tb«m; and not by ibe addition of the decimals obtained divided by the number of sections or subjects. Example, Obligatory Sections. Voluntary Sections. Aggregate Decimal of Subjects. Maximum Marks— 1,000. Maximum Marks— 550. Marks obtained. Decimal. Marks obtained. Decimal. Subject. Mathematics 600 760 •5 •76 Nil auo Nil •86 •32 •61 Burvevlnar 116. If any "Decimal" falls short of the qualifying minimum by not more tMn one in the second place, it will be accepted as qualification for "Diploma of Graduation," for "Pass" and "Distinguished" in any subject. Example, ■785 recorded as "TO accepted as '8 for quallficationa 11*?. If any " Decimal" recorded falls shori of qualifying minimum by not more than one in the first place it may be compensated for by marks counted (Ficfe Clause 102) in the voluntary sections of the same subject not less in number than those deficient in the obligatory section.
