CAMBRIDGE, APRIL 12.—THE NEW TEIPOsES.—
The syndicate appointed to consider whether may and what
alterations may be made in tne regulations which fix the
standing of candidates fur honours in the Moral Sciences
'f rives, and Natural Sciences Tripes, beg leave to report:
That with a view to encourage a more complete study of '
the subjects introduced into the new triposes, and to pro-
mote the improvement of students after they have passed
the examination fur their B.A. decree, it -ppears to the
syndicate to be desirable that persons of the standing of
middle bachelors, as well as commencing bachelors, be
allowed to be candidates tar honoura in the new tripuses.
They recommend, therefore, that without disturbing the
existing regulation by which all students who have passed
the examination for the B.A. degree are allowed to be
candidates fur honour, in the new triposco next
succeeding such examinations, such students shall also he
allowed to he candidates for honours in each of the
new tripeors next but one succeeding such exami-
nations ; and that the candidates fur honour who arc of the
standing of middle bachelors, being examined by the same
examiners who are already appointed for the new tripes,
he classed separately in a Middle Bachelors' Moral Sciences
Tripos and a Middle Bachelors' Natural Seleners Tripos.
The syndicate further recommend that students who shall
have passed the examination for the B.A. dearer be
admitted to be candidates fur honours in the Middle
Bachelors' Triposes, whether they have been candidates
or not for such honours in the Moral Sciences

Tripes— o;•- .Natural Sciences Tripe* open to com-
mencing bachelors of their standing. But the syndicate
are of opinion that the two prizes now given to the best
proficient. in moral philosophy should be given only to
candidates for honours in the commencing bachelors'
tripos, agreeably to the foundation of these prizes.
Thu syndicate further recommend that all students
who ;hull have passed the examinations and kept
the exercises required tbr the degree of Bachelor of Law
or Bachelor of Medicine, be allowed to become candidates
for honours in the above-mentioned triposes in the fourth
Lent term and fifth Lent tens after the completion of their
first term of residence. That both students in law and stu-
dents in medicine becoming candidates for honours in the
' new triposes in the fourth and fifth Lent tenns after the
completion of their first term of residence be classed with
the commencing and middle bachelors respectively. The
syndicate further recommend that, in conformity with the
grace passed Feb. 20, WO, no student who has degraded
he allowed to become a candidate fur honours in the Moral
Sciences Tripos or Natural Sciences Tripos without leave
first obtained from the syndicate appointed to examine into
the cases of applicants for permission to become candidates
fur honour. after they have degraded. The syndicate re-
commend that the first examination under these regulations
take place in the Lent term of 1842. (Signed) O. E. Corr
