UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD, FEB, 2.
In a Convocation held this day, at two o'clock, the
statute regulating the Craven Scholarships received the

assent of tho house.

The following gentlemen were nominated by the
Proctors to be the dolegetos for carrying the address to
the Qa,)en, on the Princess Royal's marriage
The A.lawLer of University, D.D.
The Pr,iv. sr f Worce,tsr. D.D.

Rev. 11. 0. Cox-, Cotpue, M.A.
Rev. A. W. Haddan, Trinity,
Rev. J. Cooper, Wadham, M.A.
Rev. H. Moberley, New, M,A.
In a Congregation held immediately afterwards the
statute fixing the legal commenceinent and close of term
was submitted and passed.
The form of statute uniting the Aldrichian Professor.
ship of Medicine with the Regius Professorship was read
and promulgated. No speaking took place.
The form of statute fixing a different time for the
examinaticn before moderators, and placing private
tutors in toe schools upon the same footing with exa-
miners from the same College or Hall with a candidate,
was then promulgated.
Mr. RO‘ERS, of Magdalen Hall, objected to the die-
qualification being. extended to those who have given
private inaruc ion within the space of two years. He
;bought the space of one year would be fully sufficient.
He wished to know whether it was proposed to take any
steps for the purpose of punishing those who were found
copying in the schools, and for preventing the practice
in future.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR ruled that this question was
out of order, not being relevant to the statute under
discussion.

Mr. FOWLER, of Lincoln, wished the disqualification
to be further extended, but would be satisfied with Mr.
Rogers's limitation as to time. Ho moved an amend-
ment to the effect that "No private or college tutor
who had given instruction to a candidate for a year
previous to the examination should take any part in
examining such candidate, or be entitled to vote upon
his olass."

Mr. MAN BEL, of St. John's, pointed out certain
practical diff►culties which would arise from' the adop.
tion of the proposed statute, and in a still greater degree
from the adoption uf the amendment.

Professor NEATE thought that at present the examina-
tions were in an unsatisfactory state. He desired to see
a well-paid body of examiners, boding an intgrmediate
position between the professors and the college tutors,
on the latter of a hom he male some reflections.
The MASTER of BALIOL /Dr Scott) mentioned that
the statute was brought for ward in its present form as
being all that Congregation had approved of the general
Examination Statute brought forward two terms ago.
Professor CONINGTON saw great difficulties both in
forbidding and in allowing private tutors to examine
their pupils. Ile had formerly voted for the clause under

the impression that it prevected college and private
tutors from voting. He thought it would be best that
they should not vote. He agreed with Professor Neste
that it was desirable to appoint a well-paid body of
examiner,, who should neither be professors, college
tutors, nor private tutors during their term of office.
The JUNIOR PROCTOR observed that the effect of the
eta, tate was to place private tutors on exactly the same
level of disqualification with college tutors. It might
perhaps be desirable to increase that disqualification, as
Mr. Fowler's amendment proposed ; but the first step
was to put the two classes on an equality. At present
the matter was not r-es integra. They were taking up,
and carrying out the previously expressed wishes of Con•
gregation. He vindicated the college tutors from the
reflections of Professor Neate, and pointed out certain
objections to the appointment of such Boards of Exami-
ners as Professors Neate and Conington bad recom-
mended.

Mr. ROGERS believed that some dissatisfaction always
attended the publisation of a class-list, but it arose from
the opinions entertained of candidates by those who had
not seen their papers.

Mr. DYKE, of Jesus, begged to suggest to the Heb-
domadal Council the propriety, of reimposing the oath of
secrecy on examiners. It was in consequence of exami-
ners not observing proper secrecy that dissatisfaction
was felt.
The debate then terminated.
The Regius Professor of Divinity (Dr. Jacobson) pro•
poses to begin a course of public lectures on Monday, the.
15th Feb., at 12 o'clock, at Christ Church. These
lectures are intended for Students of Divinity who have
passed their examination for the degree of B.A. in the -
Liters) Humaniores School. The Professor requests
those who desire to attend to deliver in their names to
him, with a written recommendation, either from the
Governor of their College or from their tutor, on Satur-
day, the 13:11 Feb.
