to their failure to attend the required number of lectures the number of exami-
nees for 1st year's examination was reduced to 107.

Second years' class.
16. The 2nd year class commenced with 78 students, who included 17
military students who had joined from the two years' course.
At the end of the year only 74 were admitted to examination
for the following reasons:—
(a) Two had died of plague; (6) one left the College without
explanation; (c) one failed to attend the required number of
lectures.
Third years' class.
17. The 3rd year class numbered 78, including a man sent from the
Kishangarh State who had previously passed a two years'
course at the Ajmere School. These all completed the
course.
Re-examination.
18. At the end of June 13 students who had failed in one subject only
at the previous annual examination, after continuing their
studies for another three months, were again examined in
the subject in which they had failed. Of this number 6 passed and 7 had after-
wards to continue their studies in their several classes until the end of the year.

There were thus 33 failures in all.
In the 1st year class of the ten unsuccessful students, two failed in one
subject only. Amongst the eight remaining failures, two were advised to try
some other vocation in life as they were evidently not able to grasp the work
required of them. In the 2nd year class, of the eight failures, one failed in one
subject only. Three of the others having failed very badly for the second
time, were persuaded to discontinue their studies here. In the 3rd year class
out of fifteen failures nine men failed in one subject only and will be examined
again in that subject at the end of June. The remaining six and any who fail
to satisfy the examiner in June will be remanded for another year.
The results on the whole may, I think, be considered very satisfactory.
Proposal to strengthen
the Board of Examiners.
20. The Board of Examiners in their report re-
marked:—
"No action was taken on the recommendation made by the Board last year viz. that
a fourth Member be added to the Board of Examiners at this College. With such a large
number of students the work is extremely arduous and occupies a long time. If it is not
possible to strengthen the Board, then the question of the advisability of allowing the Profes-
sors of the College to examine the junior students seems to be worthy of serious consideration."
"With the present shortage of officers it is difficult for Superintendents, Civil Veteri-
nary Department, to be absent from their ordinary work for long periods. The Board sat
every day, except Sundays, from 8 A.M. till 4 P.M. and gave the examinees the minimum
