of the Day Antique Course must present signed
specimens of their work drawn or painted from
the solid object.
No specimens of work are required for admission to the First Section of the Day Antique
Course, or to the Night Antique Course.

Head Course only by the action of the Faculty
after an examination of their work in Drawing

New students admitted directly to the Life and
Head Course, and those who have entered the
Schools too late in the previous year to take
the entire course in Modelling, Still-Life, Perspective, and Anatomy, have one year in which
to complete these branches, and may be admitted to the Life and Head Course on this
condition.
Day Life and Head Course students are privileged to work in all the classes of the schools,
including the evening classes.
Day Antique Course students may work in
the Night Antique classes without extra charge.

Students desiring partial courses, including
one or more of the above classes, will be required to make a special application to the
Faculty; but in this case they will not be entitled to the privileges or rates of tuition accorded to those taking the full course.
