Students in naval construction to wear silver-grey cloth
round each cuff, instead of purple cloth.

Estimated cost of the above uniform, to last three years
with care, not more than £20.

A senior engineer student in his fourth or fifth year of
service, on requiring a new uniform jacket, may procure a
double-breasted one, similar in shape to that worn by a
commissioned officer.

Patterns of the working suit and of the sleeves of the
undress coat and jacket are kept and can be seen at
the Admiralty, Whitehall, and at the training school for
engineer students at Keyham, Devonport.

cotton or merino drawers, four merino vests, two neckties,
two pairs braces, six white handkerchiefs, six coloured hand-
kerchiefs, six towels, one clothes-brush, one sponge, one
leather bag, one clothes-bag, one brush and comb, one tooth-
and one nail-brush, three pairs boots, one pair slippers, two

forms and other clothes, washing, subscription to recreative
fund, &c., is estimated to be about £25.

51. Students will be required to find their own books, and
    a list will be furnished to each on appointment. They will
    also be required to find their own stationery and drawing
    materials.

52. The foregoing regulations will be generally followed,
    but my Lords will modify them from time to time as may be
    considered desirable.

Medical Examinations.

53. With a view to prevent parents and guardians from
    incurring the inconvenience and expense of preparing candi-
    dates for entry as engineer students in Her Majesty's navy
    who may be physically unfit for the service, it is suggested
    that the candidates be submitted to examination by the
    medical adviser of the family, or any other qualified medical
    practitioner, to whom the following points may be submitted
    as those upon which they will be physically examined by
    naval medical officers. It is to be understood that this
    private examination is merely suggested as a guide to parents
    and guardians, and to lessen the chances of disappointment,
    and that it is by no means intended to take the place of, or
    to influence in any way, the regular official physical ex-
    amination.

or weakness of the physical powers of the body, either
hereditary or from chronic disease, wounds, or injuries.
