Tbe examinatioo might be a abam, the curriculum might be a kbam, the certificate might be boughland aold like anything in a abop ; or, on tbe other band, the examination might befairl) good and the diploma correspondingly valuable ; but there was not tbe amslleot guarantee, exopl tbe personal character of the people who composed tbe adminis- tration of sach of these licencing bodied, as to what might happen.
