Thole who shall hare been matriculated tiering the
Easter Term, 1850, may effer thetneelves for Respon-
sions one:. the long vacation of 1850. Sitting iu the
schools will be unnecessary under the new system.
All undergraduates will, under the new system, have
to pass three Futile (minis before they can become
Bachelors of Arts.
1. The Respon,ions as early as their third, as late as
their seventh term.
Subjrcat—One Latin, one Gre4c author, or a portion
of each; the chief object being to ascertain that the
principles of these two languages are well understood.
Euclid, Algebra, or Arithmetic. IA smaller quantity
of text than was required under the old system—two
books of Euclid, end Algebra to Simple Equations in-
clusively; or, in lieu of Euclid, arithmetic to the ex-
traction of the Square Root inclusively will suffice.]
The same passer e in English to be translated into Latin
will be set to all the candidates at once, and alsO a
paper of Grammatical Questions, and a paper of Mathe-
matical Questions. Sixteen candidates may be exa-
mined, viva voce, in one day.
Those who shall not have passed their Responsions
by the end of their seventh term (unless with the per-
mission of the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors) will be
allowed to take a degree only atter the expiration of as
many terms as shall have elapsed between their sixth
term and that in which they obtain the certificate of the
masters of the schools.
2. The First Public Examination, as early as the
eighth, as late as the twelfth, term of standing.
Subjects—Minimum—The Four Gospels in Greek;
one Greek, one Latin author, of which one must be a
poet, the other an orator.
The books brought up at Responsions cannot be ten-
dered at this examination, unless the candidate shall
bring up at least four books—a piece of English to be
translated into Latin, a paper of Grammatical Questions,
and a paper of Mathematical or Logical Questions will
be set to all the candidates at once. Pass men must
bring up either Logic or three books of Euclid and
Algebra.
Honours will be awarded in this examination. Candi-
dates for :clastr:cal honours are required especially to
bring up poets and orators ; Homer, Virgil, Demos-
thent 8, and Cicero being recommended by name. The
highest honours cannot be obtained without Logic, and
t is to have great weight in the dietributiou of both
honours. Those who do not tender L ,gic will be ex-
emitted in E nd Algebra. Pesseg s will be set
with a view to elegance and accuracy of translation.
Pailosophical and Critical questions will always be pro-
posed. Those who can write verses will have an oppor-
tunity of di4pla3ing that talent. Translation into Latin
and Greek will be called for.
Honous will he also awarded for Pure Mathematics,
The names of all who pass will be printed at the end
cf the Schedule of Honours.

Those who shall not have passed this examination
before the end of their twelfth term will be obliged to
put off their degree in accordance with a regulation
similar to that which has been passed respecting the
Responsions.
3. The Public Examination, in two schools at least,
but not necessary in the same term, as early as the thir-
teenth, and, for honours, as late as the eighteenth term
of standing.
Candidates must present a certificate showing that
they have attended two courses of public lecturer.
FIRST SCUOOL to be passed first, and by all; called
the School of Literm Ilumanioros.

Apostles in Greek. Sacred history. The subjects of
the books of the Old and New Testament. The Evidences
and the Thirty-nine Articles. One philosophy, one his-
torian, Greek or Latin, but net the same books which
had been brought up at Responsions; those brought up
before the Moderators, being a poet and an orator, can-
not of course avail for this examination. There will be
no translation into Latin, but questions will be set aid
passages from the books brought up will have to be
translated into English.

graphy, antiquities, rhetoric, and poetics, moral and
pol ticsl philosophy. These subjects may be illustrated
by modern authors. L)gic must be tendered by all who
se,k to obtain a first or second class, and it is to have
great weight iu the distribution of honours. Questions
to be answered, passages to be translated, and subjects
to be treated in Greek, Latin, or English, will be pro-
posed by the examiners.

Minimum—The first six books of Euclid; or the first
part cf Algebrz.
For Honours—Mixed as well cs Pure Mathematics.
TIIIRD SCLIOOL.—THAT OF NATURAL SCIENCE.
