UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 13.3.—Grace to confirm the follow-
ing Resolutions for the Institution of a PREVIOU s Examina-
tion this day passed the Senate :-
1. That there shall be, every year, a Public Examination in
the Senate-House, in the last week of the Lent Term.
2. That this Examination shall continue for three days ; the
hours of attendance, upon each day, being from half-past nine
o'clock in the morning to twelve, and again from one to three
o'clock in the afternoon.

Professors of Divinity, Civil Law and Physic, the Regius Pro-
fessor of Greek, and the Public Orator (provided that not more
j than two of them are members of the same College) ; upon this

History of the other Subjects of Examination.
7. That the first of these proposed annual Examinations
shall take place in the Lent Term of 1824.

quired to attend- the next following Examination, and so on ;
and that, if any one shall absent himself upon any other ac,
count from the proper Examination of his year, he shall not be
allowed the Term in which the Examination takes place, and
shall, moreover, be required to attend the Examination of the
next year, and so on.
11. That two Classes (each of them arranged alphabetically)
shall be formed out of those examined—the first consisting of
those who have passed their Examination with credit—and the
second, of those to whom the Examiners have only not refused
their Certificate of approval.
12. That those who shall not be approved by the Examiners,
shall be required to attend the Examination of the following
year, and so on : and that no degree of B.A. ld.L. LL.B. shall

ing that the Candidate for such degree has passed, to the satis-
faction of the Examiners, some one of these Examinations.
