buted for in accordance with the foregoing regula-
tions in regard to the rank or classification of their

quence of sickness or rustication, a payment of £10
shall be required for the privilege of his name being
kept on the rolls of the establishment, and for a
vacancy being kept open at the commencement of the

cadet, on first joining shall be required to pay, in
addition to the regulated contribution, a sum of £25

will receive notice, and which must afterwards be
kept up at his own expense. He shall also be re-
quired to pay the regulated contribution in advance,
for each half-year of the time during which he re-
mains under instruction; and a deposit of £5 on
account, for contingent expenses, which latter sum
he shall be required to make up on returning to the
Royal Military College after each vacation, to cover
any expense that may be incurred on his account
during the ensuing half-year.

IV. GOVERNMENT AND ORGANIZATION.

31. The Commander-in-Chief will be the President
    of the Royal Military College.

32. An independent inspection by a Board of
    Visitors, appointed by the Secretary of State for
    War, and reporting to him, will be made once a year.
    Such Visitors will not be a permanent body, but will
    not be all changed at the same time. The report of
    this Board will be presented to Parliament.

33. The College will be under the control of a
    Governor, appointed by and responsible to the Secre-
    tary of State for War through the Commander-in-
    Chief.

34. He will be assisted in the arrangement of the
    studies by a Board, composed of the Commandant and
    the professors or senior instructors of the different
    branches. The head of each branch will have the
    general power of supervision and inspection over the
    studies in his department, with the duty of reporting
    on them to the Governor.

35. The Governor will be assisted by a staff officer,
    who will be responsible in his temporary absence
    for the charge of the establishment. This officer will

have the custody of the records and correspondence
of the College, and will give the Governor such
assistance as he may require.

V. DISCIPLINE.

36. The cadets will be subject to such rules and
    regulations as are, or may be from time to time,
    established for the maintenance of good order and
    discipline.

    will be liable, on the report of the Governor to the
    Commander-in-Chief, to be removed from the list of
    candidates for commissions.

39. The name of any cadet expelled for misconduct
    will be recorded in the department of the Com-
    mander-in-Chief, and will be made known to the
    First Lord of the Admiralty, and to the Secretary
    of State for India, in order to prevent his being
    admitted into Her Majesty's naval, military, or Indian
    service.

40. The cadets will be distributed in divisions of
    not less than twenty-five, each division being under
    the immediate charge of one of the professors or
    instructors selected by the Governor.

41. The officers of divisions will be the channel of
    communication on all subjects between the cadets
    and the Governor. They will reside in the College,
    and will exercise a strict superintendence over their
    divisions, for which they will be responsible to the
    Governor. They and the unmarried officers will mess
    with the cadets.

42. During the hours of study the cadets will be
    under the charge of the professors and instructors,
    to whose orders they will be required to pay implicit
    obedience.

43. The cadets will salute all officers, professors,
    and instructors belonging to the College, whether in
    or out of uniform, and all other officers when in
    uniform.

44. The professors and instructors will have certain
    limited powers of punishment, within and without
    the halls of study, at the discretion of the Governor,
    to whom they will report all punishments which they
    may inflict.

45. No professor or instructor will be permitted to
    give private instruction to a cadet, either during the
    vacation or at any other time, or be allowed to
    prepare candidates for admission to the College.

46. The cadets will be required to appear at all
    times in uniform, except when on leave of absence,
    or when otherwise exempted by the Governor.

47. The study undress may be worn at all times
    when cadets are under instruction, with the exception
    of riding or parade, when they will wear their
    uniform. The forage cap will be worn with the
    study undress.

    who are successful in the examinations specified in
