UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

°ILFORD, May 20.

The Rev, S. L. Warren, M.P„ and Mr T. G, Jackson,
M,A , Scholars of Wadham College, have been elected Pro-
bationary Fellows ; and Mr Hughes, from Rossall, and Mr
Peck, from St. Paul's School, have been elected Scholars.
Messrs E. S. Carter and J. H. Fish, from Durham, and
W. Moffatt, from Lincoln, have been elected Scholars, and
Mr Banks, of Lincoln College, has been elected Bible Clerk
of Worcester College. At the same time the Rev. C. H.
Tomlinson was admitted Fellow.

Mr E. Caird, B A., Exhibitioner of Balliol College, has
been elected to a Fellowship in Merton College. Mr Caird
obtained the highest honour at the examination before
Moderators in Easter Term, 1862, and a classical first class
in the final examination of Easter Term, 1863. He also
obtained the Pusey and Ellerton (Hebrew) Scholarship in
1561. _ _

Ina Convocation held this day at 2 o'clock, it was pro-
posed that the statute "De Examinations Candidatorum
qUi non aunt de copore Universitatis" shall continue in
force for one year, dating from the first day of Michelmas
Term, 1861.
ProfessorHAWLINSON would not oppose the second decree,
which was rendered necessary by the double failure of the
Council in their attempt to legislate on the subject. It was
not a satisfactory arrangement, but he accepted it as the best,
under existing circumstances. He rose chiefly to answer
the attempts which had been made tc show by statistics
that the examinations had done no good to the religious
education of the country. Up to 1861 it was certain that
no good had been done, but since the original statute was
modified in that year, a great improvement had taken place.
The percentage of candidates who accepted, and who passed,
the religious examination was greater in 1863 than in any
previous year. The certificated students who passed in
Divinity, who were 274 in 1858, rose to 370 in 1862, and to
393 in 1863. He urged that there was no sufficient reason
for substituting the compulsory for the voluntary system,
as the latter was working so well. The Cambridge system,
to which appeal had been made, was really voluntary.
Dr. PVSEY maintained the accuracy of his statistics, but
had not brought them with him, and could not enter into
details. What he had specially remarked, and intended to
call attention to, was that the number of those placed on the
third division who passed in religion was constantly dimi-
nishing. This was, he thought, owing to the fact that the
religious examination did not help towards a pass. In this
respect the Cambridge plan differed from the Oxford one.
He proceeded to explain the reasons which had made him
consent to drop the statute last brought forward, and make
the present temporary arrangement, and justified the Conn.
cil's preference of their own plans over the advice of the
delegates. There would be time now to give full considera-
tion to the various amendments of the scheme which had
been suggested—as to the propositions of Professor Smith
awl Professor Shirley. The recent debates had caused him
great pain, especially as involving dilleiences with one
whom he had known and respected for 30 years.
The MASTER OF BALLIOL (Dr. Scott), as the person re-
ferred to, must say that he had nothing to retract from the
observations which he had made on former occasions. Im-
putations of a painful character had been thrown out against
the delegates. They had been accused of violating the
statute, and of maintaining thrir violation in spite of a legal
opinion given against them. Again, they had been accused
of mistranslating in their regulations the important clause
" conscientias cause." These charges had not hitherto
been retracted. 'With respect to the degree of weight to be
attached to the recommendation of the Delegates, what he
had wished to impress on the house was that it was just in
proportion as the Delegates were familiar with the entire
working of the system that they felt strongly as to the in-
expediency of the plans which the Council had brought
forward. _ _ _ _

Dr. PITSEY said that he did not mean to charge the Dele-
gates with maintaining their violaticn of the Statute after
the opinion referred to had been given.
Dr. SCOTT gladly accepted Dr. Pusey's retractation.
Dr. POSEY had not retracted. He had never meant to
make the oharge which the Master of.Balliol supposed him
to have made.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR said no formal legal opinion had
ever been given, and any Delegate was quite free to reopen
the question of the true interpretation of the Statute.

CAMBRIDGE, May 20.

man, 8.A., Emmanuel College; H. C. Casson, 8.A.,

We are authorised to state that their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales have graciously consented
to honour with their presence the ball to be given at the
Fitzwilliam Museum on June 2.
The following regulations have been issued by the Vice-
Chancellor for the maintenance of order at the approaching
visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of
Wales ;--

1. No person will be admitted into the Senate-house or
Senate-house-yard on Thursday, June 2, or Friday, June
3, without a ticket.

2. Every person who is a member of the University will
receive one ticket, not transferrable, for his own admission.

one ticket to admit a lady within the Ssnato-house on each
of the above days, and every incepting M.A. or LL.M. shall,
if possible, have one ticket to admit a lady on one of the
above days; but, as the accommodation for ladies in the
Senate-house is necessarily very limited, the number of
tickets issued will not exceed the number of places re-
served.
[Applications for such tickets (to admit ladies) must be
made in writing to the Vice-Chancellor, and be received by
him on or before May 27, and must be endorsed " Applica..
