year in a medical college, a three years' course of study, or at-
tendance on three courses of lectures delivered in different years,
shall satisfy said requirements. Proof of the qualification of
applicants as above shall, if required, be made by affidavits at
the time of the making of said application and payment of fee
as provided. The president of the board to whom such appli- .-
cation shall have been made, if satisfied with the same, shall
direct the secretary-treasurer thereof to issue to said applicant
an order for examination, 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 Mary-
land. If the president of either board of medical examiners
shall have refused any application, either for want of the quali-
fications necessary to entitle such applicant to an examination,
as hereinbefore provided, or for want of proficiency of such ap-
plicant upon being subjected to an examination, then the presi-
dent of neither of said boards shall entertain or pass upon a sub-
sequent 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 pro-
fessional 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 applicants by this Sec-
tion. Medical students, at the end of their second year of study,
who have, as verified by the certificate of the dean of the college
which they have attended, completed the studies of anatomy,
physiology, medical chemistry and materia medica in said col-
lege, shall on application be examined in such studies by the
State licensing Board, the result of said examination to be con-
sidered as part of the final examination, the full regular fee to
be paid at this time, no part thereof to be returned, but placed
to their credit for the remainder of the examination yet to be
taken. Medical students who have, as verified by the certificate
of the dean of the college which they have attended, completed
a full four years' course of studies and lectures, but who have
not yet received their diplomas, shall upon application be exam-
ined in all the branches enumerated in Section 111 of this Ar-
