The Cadets employed on the first year’s course constitute the FOURTH CLASS; those on the second year’s course the THIRD CLASS; those on the third year’s course the SECOND CLASS; and those on the fourth year’s course the FIRST CLASS. The academic year commences on the 1st of July. On, or before, that date the result of the examination held in the preceding month is announced and Cadets are advanced from one class to another. At no other time shall a Cadet be advanced from one class to another, unless prevented by sickness, or authorized absence, from attending at the aforesaid examination; in which case a special examination shall be granted him; but in no case shall a Cadet be advanced from one class to another without having passed a satisfactory examina- tion by the Academic Board.
