Excerpt from Regents Examination Papers for the Academic Year 1895 The phenomenal growth of examinations conducted by the University of the State of New York is almost entirely due to the revised system of 1891 and well illustrates the ease with which the schools respond to new requirements. In 1891, 330 schools called for question papers. In 1892, 357 schools called for question papers. In 1893, 393 schools called for question papers. During the year ending July 31, 1894, 420 schools called for question papers. During the year ending July 3i, 1895, 486 schools called for question papers, including bound volumes. As the use of the examinations is entirely voluntary with each school, the growth indicates that the question papers, notwithstanding recognized imperfections, give general satisfaction. Three previous volumes of question papers have been issued, and the demand for them has been so great that in each case a second edition has been found necessary. We have frequent requests for permission to use our papers as tests for teachers and students. Under no circumstances is a paper allowed to be seen till after its official use, but courtesy seemed to demand a rule for supplying schools anxious to keep abreast of our work. We therefore mail at the close of each examination to those who send 50 cents to cover postage and labor of the year, a set of all papers used. The bound edition for the entire academic year is sent post paid in paper for 25 cents, or in boards for 50 cents, the receipts being used to pay part of the expenses of binding and printing. The question papers in academic subjects are those used for regents credentials in New York academies and high schools. The medical examinations are those prescribed by law for license to practise medicine in New York state. The law examinations are those given to candidates for the degree of LL. B. The extension papers represent examinations given in regents centers at the end of the course of 10 lectures.
