| I. | At each Annual Meeting the Senate will be prepared to consider applications from candidates for nomination to one Cadetship at the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. Any Graduate or any Undergraduate who has passed the first Section of the Examination for the degree of Bachelor of Arts will be eligible, on condition of passing an examination in Geometrical Drawing, as required by the Regulations of the War Office respecting admission to the Royal Military College, if he is in other respects qualified under those Regulations. |
| II. | The Regulations prescribe that a Cadet must be between seventeen and twenty-two years of age on admission to the College; the date of admission being the first day of September. The successful candidate will be required to send certificates of age, and of moral character, for the preceding four years, to the Military Secretary, Horse Guards, so as to reach him by the first day of August.page 124.gif) |
| III. | The Course of study at the Royal Military College extends through one year. At the end of the first term, the Cadet has to pass an examination in the work of the term, and failure at the examination involves the loss of a term. There is another examination at the end of the course, and those who pass a satisfactory examination become entitled to Commissions in the Army as Second Lieutenants, and may be gazetted to regiments in the order in which they pass. |
| IV. | The payment to be made on behalf of a Cadet varies from £20 for the son of an officer who has died in the senice, and whose family is left in pecuniary distress, to £125 for the son of a private gentleman. A further payment of £25 for uniform, books, &c., and a deposit of £5 on account, for contingent expenses, are required. The pay of a Cadet is 3s. a day. For further information, intending candidates may refer to the Regulations published in the New Zealand Gazette, 29th September, 1881. |
