THE VISIT TO CAMBRIDGE.-UNIVERSITY

ARRANGEMENTS.

The council of the senate have reported to the
senate that the grace which was approved by them)
and subsequently sanctioned by the senate on the
21st inst., for the purpose of fixing the 16th of
June as the day for conferring the honorary d 6
grees and reciting the prize exercises, was so or
proved with special reference to the intended visit
to the university of their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Wales.

They have since understood that it would be
more agreeable to their royal highnesses to fig au
earlier period for their visit, viz., from the 2d to
the 4th of June, so that they may be present in the
university before the members have separated for
the long vacation.
The council therefore recommend that the hotio"
rary degree 3 be conferred on June 3, and that the
Vice-Chancellor be authorised to fix the day and
time for reciting the prize exercises.
As the examination for the ordinary degree of
8,21. canaot take place in the Senate-house at the
time fix,md by grace of Oct. 23, 1858, viz., May 26+
the council recommend that the syndicate which
was appointed on the 21st inst. to make prepare•
tions for the visit of their royal highnesses be on'
powered to sign a place in which the examination
shall be held.

A grace to authorise the carrying into Effict the
foregoing recommendations will be offered to the
senate at the next ensuing congregation.
