(3) The Professor of Geology will, on application from the Student, give access to specimens illustrating the Course. 32. Admission of Students from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

The same standing will be allowed to Cambridge Students who have kept, by residence, two Terms, and have passed the "Previous Examination." 2. Students in Arts who have kept, by residence, six Terms at Oxford, and have passed the "First Public Examination," will be entitled to be placed in the Junior Sophister Class. The same standing will be allowed to Cambridge Students who have kept, by residence, four Terms, and passed the "Previous Examination." 3. Oxford Students who have kept, by residence, nine Terms, and have passed the "First Public Examination," will be entitled to be placed in the Senior Sophister Class. The same standing will be allowed to Cambridge Students who have kept six Terms, and passed both parts of the "General Examination." 4. Students in Arts who have kept, by residence, twelve Terms at Oxford, and have passed the "First Public Examination," will be admitted to the Examination for the Degree of A. B. The same privilege will be allowed to Students who have kept nine Terms at Cambridge, and have passed both parts of the "General Examination for the Degree." 5. Students from Oxford or Cambridge desiring to be placed on the Books of Trinity College, Dublin, must produce, in addition to their Certificate of the Terms kept by residence, a Certificate of good conduct, signed by the Head of their College or Hall, or by the Censor of Non-Collegiate Students. 33. Recognition of Arts Studies of certain Colonial and Indian Universities and Colleges. The University of Dublin is prepared to recognize the Arts studies of the following Colonial and Indian Universities, and such others as the Board and Council may from time to time direct to be added to that list (Resolution of the Board and Council, March 10, 1900): The Universities of Adelaide, Allahabad, Bombay, Calcutta, M'Gill (Montreal), Madras, Melbourne, New Brunswick, New Zealand, The Punjab, Sydney, Tasmania, Toronto, King's College Windsor Nova Scotia. The privileges in Arts granted to the Students of such Universities are as follows: Any Student producing the proper Certificates that he has passed two years in Arts studies at such Universities or Colleges, and has passed the Examinations belonging to that period, will be entitled to put his name on the College books as a Senior Freshman, or Student with one year's credit; with this reservation, that if it shall appear that the Course of Arts which he has pursued does not include all the subjects of the Junior Freshman year, the Senior Lecturer may require him to qualify by Examination in the omitted subject or subjects within one month after his name shall have been entered on the books. To such Students the Entrance Fee, and the May half-yearly Fee of the Junior Freshman year, are remitted. 34. Terms of Admission for South African Students. I. 1. Students who have passed the Matriculation Examination of the University of the Cape of Good Hope, including Latin, and either French, German, Dutch, or Greek, are allowed to enter Trinity College, Dublin, without further Examination. 2. Such Students, if they desire to join the Medical School in the Summer Session, will be excused the Preliminary Medical Examination, and will keep their Junior Freshman Year by satisfactory attendance on Arts Lectures for two hours a day in Trinity Term, viz. the Arts Lectures for Medical Students of the first year in Mechanics and English Composition, together with a course in Languages. To those who follow this course the Entrance Fee will be remitted. In the Senior Freshman Year such Students will proceed as ordinary Medical Students. 3. A Student who has passed the Matriculation Examination of the University of the Cape of Good Hope, and has also obtained credit for attendance for one year in Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology, including practical work, at any College in South Africa, approved for this purpose by the Board and Council, a will, on production of the usual Certificate to that effect, be excused the Preliminary Medical Examination, and allowed to proceed as follows, viz. : (1) He will in Hilary Term be required to attend Senior Freshman Arts Lectures (two hours a day). (2) He will in Trinity Term enter the Medical School, and attend the Medical Lectures of the Summer Session, and be required in Arts to attend the Lectures (one hour a day) in Logics and English Composition, arranged for Senior Freshmen who have entered the Medical School as Junior Freshmen. After obtaining credit for these Courses, he will be allowed to present himself for the Final Freshman Examination as arranged for Medical Students, that is, the Preliminary Scientific Examination in Chemistry and Physics (with a special Paper in Mechanics), and Botany and Zoology; and an Examination in Logic, English Composition, and one language, viz.-French, German, Latin, or Greek. N.B.-Students who do not pass in Mechanics at the Preliminary Scientific Examination must pass in this subject at the Final Freshman Examination. The South African College, Capetown, Victoria College, Stellenbosch, Grey University College, Bloemfontein, and the Transvaal University College, Johannesburg, are approved under this rule by the Board and Council. Thus no Junior Freshman exercises in Arts are required from these Students, and the Entrance Fee and the May Fee of the Junior Freshman Year will be remitted to them. But in every case the Certificates of the year's work in Physics, Chemistry, Botany, or Zoology, should state the extent of the Course covered; and if any portion of the First Medical Year in those subjects be omitted, Lectures in the omitted portion must be attended as required by the Professor. The Course of Anatomy and Dissections prescribed, under the new regulations, for the First Medical Year in Trinity College, Dublin, must be taken out by them in the second or third year as required by the authorities of the Medical School. II. 1. Any Student who has passed the Intermediate Examination of the Cape University is entitled to present himself for the Final Examination of the Senior Freshman, or second, Year. 2. To such Students the Entrance Fee, and the half-yearly fees up to and including the November half-year at the end of the Junior Freshman Year, are remitted. III. 1. Any Student who has passed the B.A. Examination of the Cape University is entitled to put his name on the Books of Trinity College as a rising Junior Sophister, or Student who has obtained credit for two Collegiate Years. 2. To such Students the Entrance fee, and the half-yearly fees up to and including the May half-year of the Senior Freshman Year, are remitted. 3. In keeping their Terms, Students from South Africa are allowed to substitute Dutch for French or German, when two languages are required. IV. EXHIBITIONS AWARDED TO STUDENTS FROM SOUTH AFRICA. THE following scheme for the encouragement of Colonial Students is contained in Resolutions of the Board of March 21, 1903, and June 25, 1901 : That two Exhibitions be offered annually to South African Students, each not exceeding £50 per annum, and tenable for four years. That such Exhibitions be given as the result of an examination in Arts held at Trinity College. That one Exhibition be reserved for Medical Students. That, in order to obtain any of these prizes, sufficient merit must be shown. That, in the case of sufficient merit, a third prize be given, consisting of remission of half fees in Arts. That, before payment of each instalment of such Exhibitions, the Bursar must be satisfied that the Exhibitioner has prosecuted his studies regularly, and paid all fees due by him to the College. That the following qualifications be required : (a) Candidates must be under twenty-three years of age on the day of examination. (b) Candidates must have resided in the Colony for at least three years out of the six years immediately previous to the examination. (c) A certificate of character must be produced. That, at the Examination for South African Exhibitions, the subjects of Examination and the marks assigned to each shall be as follows: (English Composition compulsory, 35 per cent. minimum.) The Course in English Literature will be— Milton's "Paradise Lost," I. II. Shakespeare-" Hamlet,' Macbeth." Palgrave's "Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics." The Course in History will be Gardiner's "Student's History of England," vols. II. and III. No candidate is allowed to take up subjects whose maxima added together exceed 1200. Students who have passed the Intermediate Examination at the Cape University, and who have unsuccessfully competed for South African Exhibitions, shall be permitted to compete again in the following year. The examinations will be held in March. |
