No one shall be examined whose name does not appear on this list. 2.-The time and place for holding any Public Examination, the form of Certificate to be given, and such other points as may not be settled by Statute of the Dean and Chapter, or by Regulation of the University, shall be determined by the Warden and Senate.

4.-Every Student who is admitted to an Extraordinary Examination shall pay, on his name being received by the Senior Proctor, the sum of Five Pounds.
