As far as possible students will be assisted in making up deficiencies, in order that they may follow the regular courses to advantage. Special students will be admitted to all classes by passing satisfactory examinations. Any special student in good standing, when leaving the school, may, upon application to the Faculty, receive a certificate show- ing the amount of work performed.
