RELIGIOUS TRAINING The College authorities are convinced that without Religion there can be no education, in the true sense of the word; that is to say, no complete and harmonious development of the intellect and heart of man. A textbook on Religion is made use of in every class, and a lecture on the Evidence of Religion is given once every week to the students ; and in all classes the day’s work begins and ends with prayer. The Catholic religion is taught to Catholic students, who are required to attend regularly to their religious duties; non-Catholic students, however, are admitted to the College and their religious views duly respected. EXAMINATIONS There are two examinations each year, one in January, the other in June. These examinations are both written and oral. The annual promotions and prizes are decided by the exami nations, combined with the monthly marks of the entire year. Any student who fails to attain an average of 60% in his examinations and year’s work combined, will not be promoted at the end of the year. In the grad- uating class, the special prizes are decided by disputations, written essays on phil- osophical and scientific subjects, together with the results of the final examination.
