MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS.

IV. Preparatory to obtaining any tickets, the student must matriculate, by having his name registered by the Dean of the Medical Faculty ; and he shall not be con- sidered to have attended a complete course of lectures, unless his tickets are taken on or before the third Mon- day of the session.
