UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD—AIAncII 5.

The Hertford (Latin) Scholarship has been
awarded to Mr. J. A. Godley, Exhibitioner of
Balliol College.

In a congregation held this day at 2 p.m., Mr.
Bonmay Price, M.A., of Worcester College, was
admitted to the office of Professor of Political
Economy ; and Messrs. Symonds and Morrell were
admitted to the office of University Coroners.

A statute on the subject of degrees iu divinity
was then promulgated. Dr. Pusey explained that
the changes proposed were to have the dissertations
of the candidates for the B.A. degree in English
instead of Latin, and to require some real work for
the D.D. degree, analogous to that required for the
final degree in medicine and in law. Professor
Conington hoped that such degrees would not here-
after be given by decree.

On the promulgation of the statute regarding the
Taylor Institution an animated debate took place.
Professor Bernard explained the grounds on which
a statute so nearly similar to one recently rejected
was so soon brought forward again, and pointed out
how the present statute differed from_the last. Dr.
Pusey objected to the statute as mere " patch-
work," and moved an amendment that the statute
rejected last term should be re-introduced. The
Master of Balliol (1)r. Scott) also opposed the
statute, but wished that in its place a proposition
should be brought forward to establish a new Pro-
fessorship of Comparative Philology, with a stipend
of £2OO a year, which might be held with the
Taylorian Professorship. Mr. King, of Merton,
objected to the mode in which statutes were brought
before the House. He thought there should be an
English analysis at the foot of each. Professor
Coni❑gton approved the plan suggested by the
Master of Balliol. Professor Rawlinsou thought it
would be a pity to throw out the whole statute. If
the last clause and one or two other words were
placed in brackets, and made the subject of a sepa-
rate vote, Convocation might well pass the rest of
the statute. Professor Bernard said that the
several points of the statute would be made the
subject of separate votes. He thought the passing
of the statute, even as it stood, would not interfere
with the subsequent adoption of Dr. Scott's plan.
The Warden of New College (Dr. Sewell) was
againAt the statute, because it did nothing to en-
courage the study of modern languages. Ile
thought the stipend of the teachers ought to be in-
creased.

Professor MAX ML'LLER wished it to be known
that he had nothing to do with initiating the pro-
posals for a change in his professorships. He had
simply consented to them. In performing the
duties of his office he had made the statute his guide.
He had lectured both on the modern languages and
on the philology. In the former case his classes
had been small, in the latter large.
Mr. JACKSON, of Worcester, explained the needs
of the Taylor Institution, and hoped the statute
would be passed.
On the conclusion of this debate, a statute
was brought forward increasing the stipend of the
Taylorian Professor by £lOO a year, on condition
of his delivering lectures in comparative philology.
The Dean of Christ Church explained that the
statute was intended to be provisional. The words,
qui 721111 C est, which would have shown this, had
accidentally slipped out. He should move their re-
insertion.

Mr. FOWLER, of Lincoln, would have been glad
to see the stipend of the professor increased by
£2OO or £3OO a year, instead of £lOO. He thought
the stipends of the teachers ought also to be raised
from £l5O to £250. A Professorship of Com-
parative Philology, independent of the Taylorian
Professorship, ought to be established. Mr. King,
of Merton, opposed the statute after the explanation
of the Dean of Christ Church. Professor Coning-
ton criticised the wording and punctuation of the
statute. It mixed up what was general with what
was special ; what was of universal application with
the case of an individual ; and it was out of harmony
with the existing statutes on the subject of the Pro-
fessorship. The Master of Balliol thought that
just grounds had appeared for reconsidering the
whole subject. After the expression of opinion
that bad taken place, a Professorship of Com-
parative Philology must be founded. Dr. Pusey
agreed with what had fallen from Professor Con-
ington, who had explained in detail what he him-
self meant by the term " patch work." Mr. Fur-
neaux, of Corpus, suggested that the moneys about
to accrue to the University from colleges might be
employed in the foundation of a Professorship of
Comparative Philology. Professor Rawlins= pro-
posed the omission of the last clause of the statute,
and put in an amendment to that effect. He
would, however, greatly prefer to the proposed
arrangement the establishment and full endowment
of a Professorship of Comparative Philology, and
the suppression of the present Taylorian Professor..
ship. The funds thus saved would, he thought, be
better applied in connection with the other portions
of the Taylor Institution.

The examiners appointed by the trustees of the
University Mathematical Scholarships have given
notice that they will receive the names of candidates
on Saturday, Alarch 7, in Balliol College, between
one and two o'clock.

The University sermons on Slinday next will be
preached in the morning by the Rev. S. J. Hulme,
of Wadham College, and in the afternoon by the
Rev. W. Jackson, of Worcest:tr College.
