accordance with the provisions of the statute, the elec-
tion of a new rector will be proceeded with on the 18th

elect4rs are the whole body of fellows, 24 in number,
and it is lawful for them to elect any one to the rector-
ship who either is or has been a fellow of the college.
The number of persons eligible is thus very large.

tion will he holden in Magda!en-hall on Tuesday,

cipal of Magdalen-hall ; the Rev. R. Gandell, Chaplain

George Rawlinson,
A paper has been printed for the use of members of
the Heb lornadal Board, and circulated widely among
those engaged in the tuition and discipline of colleges,
proposing certain alterations in the times and mode of
the examinations. Responsions are to be held three
firms in the year—viz., in Hilary, Act, and Michaelmas
Terms, during the last fortnight of each. The number
of the masters of the school. is to he increased to four.
and these four are to sit continuously in two different
schools, SO OA two sets of examinations may be going.
on at mice. The first public examination under Mode-
rators is propo-ed to b held twice a-year, in the same
terms as at present, hut the examination is to be ad-
vanced to the beginning of the Easter Term, and to
commence on the ‘Vedoesday after Ea-ter week ; while
in Michaelmas Term it is to be deferred to the latter
portion of the Term, nod to commence on Nov. 20.
The,t, changes are calculated to prevent the examina-
tions from iliterfering, as they do at present, with col-
lege lectures. Tney are likely to give general satis-
faction.

The aggizes commence to-morrow. The assize sermon
will be preached at St. Mary's, by the Rev. R. Eden,
of Corpus Christi College.
