ENTRANCE EXAMINATION IN THE FACULTY OF ARTS.

Notice is hereby given that from and after this date (25th April, 1883) no student entering the University of Glasgow below the age of 17 years (with the exceptions stated below) will be permitted to receive a Public Certificate in any class in the Faculty of Arts, unless he has on first entering the University passed the Entrance Examination. The details of the Examination are given upon the next page.

The Entrance Examination for the session 1883-84 will be held upon Wednesday, the 7th, and Thursday, the 8th of November, 1883, beginning at 10 A.M. on each day. All students entering the Uni

versity for the first time in the session 1883-84, and who have not completed the age of 17 on or before the 1st November, 1883, will be required to pass the Examination, unless they have previously presented themselves for the Preliminary Examination in Arts, and passed in at least two of the subjects of that Examination. Candidates who fail in that Examination, but who, in the opinion of the examiners, have come up to the standard required for the Entrance Examination in any subject, will be exempted from examination in that subject. All other students below the age of 17 who do not present themselves for the Examination, or who fail to pass it, will be permitted to attend any of the classes in the curriculum of Arts for purposes of instruction, but such attendance will not qualify for graduation, nor entitle a student to receive a Public Certificate of attendance.

Candidates desiring to present themselves for the Entrance Examination must send in their names to the Clerk of Senate on or before Saturday, November 3, 1883, stating in what subjects they desire to be examined.

The Examination will be conducted by two special Examiners, acting in conjunction with the Professors in the Faculty of Arts. The Examiners for 1883 will be Dr. John Kerr and Mr. William Bathgate, two of H. M. Inspectors of Schools for Scotland.
