Excerpt from Minutes of the General Council of Medical Education and Registration of the United Kingdom, of the Executive Committee, Vol. 7: And of the Branch Councils, for the Year 1869 There were, in all, thirty - seven candidates, of whom one rejected in 1866, was found sufficiently qualified, and thirty-six were fresh-men. Of these thirty-six, twenty-eight succeeded on their first Examination, and eight were remanded to their studies. Of the last eight, six passed on second Examination, and two did not reappear. The causes of rejection were general professional deficiencies, especially in anatomical and practical knowledge. Of the thirty-seven candidates, seven were found well acquainted with the Latin language but the greater majority of the remainder declined to undergo any Examination in that language. We consider the average abilities and attainments of the candidates in 1868 were not superior to those Of preceding years.
