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 is a Cadet advanced from one class to another, unless prevented by sickness, or authorized absence, from attending the aforesaid examination; in such a case a special examination is granted; but in no case is a Cadet advanced from one class to another without having satisfied the Academic Board of his proficiency in each branch of study pursued by his class. “No cadet who is reported as deficient in either conduct or studies and recommended to be discharged from the Academy, shall, unless upon recommendation of the Academic Board, be returned or reappointed or be appointed to any place in the Army before his class shall have left the Academy and received their commissions.” (Section 1325, Revised Statutes of the United States.) =====+========+================================================ |Names | MERIT IN | +-----------+-------+------+-------+------------+ |Arranged| | | | | | |in Order| | | | | | | of | | | | | Natural | Class|General | | | | | and | Rank | Merit | | | | |Experimental| | |Mathematics|English|French|Spanish| Philosophy | +--------+-----------+-------+------+-------+------------+ |Maximum | | | | | | |in each | 400.00 | 75.00 |150.00| 125.00| 300.00 | |branch | | | | | | -----+--------+-----------+-------+------+-------+------------+ =====+========+======================================================= |Names | MERIT IN | +----------+------------+----------+-------+-----------+ |Arranged|Chemistry,| Drill | | | | |in Order| Chemical |Regulations:| | | | | of | Physics, | Cavalry, | | | | Class|General |Mineralogy| Artillery | | | Civil and | Rank | Merit | and | and | Military | | Military | | |Geology | Infantry |Efficiency|Drawing|Engineering| +--------+----------+------------+----------+-------+-----------+ |Maximum | | | | | | |in each | 225.00 | 115.00 | 130.00 |125.00 | 300.00 | |branch | | | | | | -----+--------+----------+------------+----------+-------+-----------+
