of students who at the time of the passage of this Act shall
be in their second year in a medical college, a three years'

required, be made by affidavits at the time of the making gf
said application and payment of fee as provided. The presi-
dent of the board to whom such application shall have been
made, if satisfied with the same, shall direct the secretary-
treasurer thereof to issue to said applicant an order for exam-
ination, and when said applicant shall have passed an
examination as to proficiency satisfactory to said board, the
president thereof shall grant to such applicant a license to
practice medicine and surgery in the State of Maryland. If
the president of either board of medical examiners shall have
refused any application, either for want of the qualifications
necessary to entitle such applicant to an examination, as here-
inbefore provided, or for want of proficiency of such appli-
cant upon being subjected to an examination, then the presi-
dent of neither of said boards shall entertain or pass
upon a subsequent application from said applicant until
after the expiration of six months from the rejection of said
previous application. The respective boards are authorized
to license, without examination, applicants who present
proper certificates of proficiency and professional standing
at the time of application, issued by boards of medical
examiners of the District of Columbia and of other States,
the requirements of which are of as high a standard as those
governing the boards of medical examiners of this State;
provided such boards of such States or district grant the
same privileges to licentiates of the examining boards of
Maryland, such applicants, however, being still required to
furnish the same proof of qualifications required of other

of the final examination, the full regular fee to be paid at
this time, no part thereof to be returned, but placed to their
