A Dictionary of Law
In the universities, a student who has honorably passed through the prescribed course of study and received a certificate to that effect. A cadet-engineer who has successfully completed his academic course, passed the closing examination, and received from the Academic Board a certificate to that effect, has hitherto been called a "graduate." The act of August 5, 1882 (22 St. L. 285), did not make such graduates "naval cadets."
