Reply-To: moonrakers@lists.bcn.mythic-beasts.com I have started to view the Cadet Register for the East India Co. FILM # 1835744----from Salt Lake City. The first half of the film is given to those cadets who failed to pass the examinations given by the company---nearly always because they failed certain academic subjects. They were examined by the following professors: Professor of Mathematics and Classics " of fortifications " of Hindustani " of French They also had to provide a medical certification, letters of recommendation, a school history, a brief family history and respond to a number of questions posed by the examining board. Many also submitted their certifications of baptisms and letters from their vicars/ministers attesting to the fact that they were regular C.of E. members. The idiot who filmed the register kept putting one letter partially on top of another so I was often unable to read a letter that accompanied an application.-----or was this a film of a film of the register??-- who knows.? The handwriting often is difficult to read. more to follow, Kathleen in Toronto . ooroo If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door. Anon.
