The opinion is rendered at. the solicitation of Dr. S. C. Baker, secretary of the State board of ex aminerq, and i. as follows: Replying to your letter of the 5th inst. in your letter you ask for a con struction of "An Act to amend Sub division 7 of Section 970, Vol. 1, Revised Statutes of South Curolina, as to the qualifications of physicians, so as to exempt graduates of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina and all graduates who pre sent a diploma from a reputable medical college in this State. Ap proved the 15th day of February, A.D 1901." In this act sub-divis ion 7 is amended so as to read as follows: "Nothing in this section ~kshall apply to regular graduates S 'gdiplomas issued by any col ho .tablished reputation in this loge o1B !a has a four years' course State, whi --- sandngofnO of instruction j25 a s .ta nigo exmnot less than 75 per o' kgory evidence tion, and make satiBsn a7 ''d of ox of their standing to the boaa',.. aminers, nor to commissioned m: cal officers of the United States army or navy or United States marine hos pital service, nor shall it include! physicians or surgeons residing in other States and called in consulta tion in special cases with physicians or surgeons residing in this State." It is to be noted that while the title of the act mentions specifically the Medical College of the State of South Caroina the body of the act has no: reference to this particular college; this being accounted for by the fact that in the senate all special refer ence, to this college was stricken out and the provisions of the act made app~licable to "any college of estab lished repultationl in this State, which *has a four years' course of instrue tion and a standard of not less than Iatc s between the people fa n of the trading public. more to k nock out old fc No matter whatj F FARE!

It, is a didicult matter to give any satisfactory construction of ihis act. as a whole for several reasons, among thenr: Grammati cally there is faulty construction, as is evident when the words, "and make satisfactory evidence of their standing," etc., are construed with what precedes. The sub-division is in one sentence and cannot be parsed by any rules of grammar, but taking for granted that the word "make" should be read "making," so as to have reference to the graduates, we pass to another diffloulty. The section in which this sub division is to be found contains all of the statute law of this State relating to the powers and duties of the State board of medical examiners, and by this Act Inothing contained in this section shall apply to the regular graduates therein described. That is, such graduates are not subjected to any of the 'provisions of this section, such as examination application for li cense, registry by the clerk of the court of the county for the payment of any fees to the board, for the rea son, as aLove stated, that such re quiremnents are to be fond nowhere else in the statutes than in the sec tion from the operation of which thcy are expressly exempt. Yet, in addition to the requirement that the Igraduates shall hold a diploma issued by some college of established repu tation in this State, which hat~ '. four years' course of instructlo:, and a standard of not less than 75 per cent. on exammnation, he is required to ''make satisfactory evidence of his standing to the board of medical ex aminers," no provision being made -te licensing by the board of the ,'n,nor the payment of any fee for th aking of this "evidence," nor the mannLer in which the board shall signify its >proval or satisfac tion in the premiseig I shall now procee to attempt to answer the questions propounded by you without quoting ie same iu, extense. By this Act the g 'iaduates therein named~ are exempte from relatering in the office of the e 'erk of court in the county in whi 'a they reside. Before the graduat can avail himself of the benefits o 1 Act he must submit to the boa of examiners his diploma, and 'Nae board must be satisfied from evidenm.f submitted that the college issuing such is one of "established reputa ,han ke sale.

The board can not subject the graduate to the ox amination provided for in Subdivi sion 3, of the section, and, inasmuch as the foe 'therein mentioned is to be paid by the "applicant for the exam. inlation," the graduate cannot be re que.tAed to pay any fee. You say that within the past few years a nuiber of graduates from the Med ical College have failed to pay the examination fee and were refused license by the board; have these re jected men now the right to prtctice under the Act or does examination under the Act apply only to men graduating after the passage of the Act ? "Is it requisite that the grad uiates of the Medical Ooliege of the State of South Carolina show that they are graduates after a four years' course of study before they can reap the benefits no matter how short a period of study the college authori ties ma;y see fit to require?Y" To this I answer that the clear meaning of the Act is that the grad unte has covered "a four years' course of instruction," and upon examina tion of the same has come up to "a standard of not less than 75 per cent." Graduates of the coliege who hold diplomas issued before the four years' course was established cannot claim the benefits of the Act, inas much as such diplomas were not issued by a college basing a "four years' course of mnstrnct ion." In miy view of the Act it muist be left to tbe college authoritie~s to plakn or map out "a four years' course of in struction," and this, as I un derstand it, would mean that or dinarily four years wvould be con sumed by the averago student in covering the course, but it is not re quired that four years' actual study and attendlancel upon the college should lbe shiown by the student, in. asmuch as under extraordinary cir' cumtances the full col'rse might be taken and mustered in less time. I think that the Act leaves details of this ebarneter to the faculty of the college, demand inmg, however, that its diploma after its estab)lishinlg such a course shall hold out to the world that it is in effect a certificate that the gradIuate hani passed1 all t he ex aminations required by the course burd comes up to standard fixed and a\'vertised.
