Excerpt from The Tenth Biennial Report of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb, 1909-1910
In these two years, thirteen pupils have been honorably dismissed from the school. Six of these did not complete the full course of Study, but were given certificates showing that they had been in attendance a certain number of years and were of good moral character. The other seven, having satisfactorily completed the full course, were awarded diplomas. Of this seven, two took the additional course required for Gallaudet College, passed the entrance examinations, and entered upon the work there. Two others passed one half the college examinations, but did not return to complete the course. What is still more grati fying is the fact that two others, Hugh Barber, of Beaufort County, and Guy Monroe, of Moore County, passed' the entrance examination re quired for admission to the Agricultural and Mechanical College of this State.
