Any graduate in Arts of whatever standing may offer himself for examination, but no candidate can obtain a place in the Class-list who has exceeded the twenty-fifth Term from his matriculation. Every candidate whose name has been placed in any of the three Classes, or who, being disqualified by standing, has in the judgment of the Examiners shown sufficient merit to entitle him, but for such disqualification, to a place in the Class-list, receives, on application to the Clerk of the Schools, a certificate of having passed.
