III. EXTRA-ACADEMICAL PRIVILEGES OF

STUDENTS AND GRADUATES.

The following are some of the privileges and exemptions of Graduates, and of those who have passed certain of the University Examinations, in regard to admission to the several professions: they are all shared in common with members of other Universities.

(There is an ambiguity in the use of the term 'Public Examination,' but it is usually interpreted to mean Moderations and not Responsions.) (b) Admission as Attorneys and Solicitors.

1. Any one who has been matriculated at the University, or who has passed the Local Examinations of the University, is exempted from passing the preliminary examination which would otherwise be required before he could be articled.
