The Cadet Corps was by a royal decree of May 14th, 1864, placed on the same footing with regard to instruction and final examination as the Real Gymnasium, and by a further decree of April 2d, 1868, the signification and value which are attached to an Absolutorium, or certificate of final examination, of a Real Gymnasium, were equally made to apply to an Absolutorium of the Cadet Corps.
There are three classes.
For admission into the first class, candidates must be acquainted with the following subjects:
