Students are required to have a practical, as well as a theoretical, knowledge of the subjects of Examination. HILARY EXAMINATION : Beddard's Elementary Practical Zoology, chaps. i. and ii. The structure (so far as may be made out by means of a simple lens) and arrangement of the vegetative and reproductive organs of Seed-Plants, as illustrated by the following types: the Wallflower (Cheiranthus Cheiri), the Lily (Lilium candidum), and the Fir (Picea excelsa). Scott's Introduction to Structural Botany, Pt. 1., pp. 1-26, 136-152, and 233--238. TRINITY EXAMINATION : ZOOLOGY, (1) BOTANY, (2) The The As before; with Beddard, chaps. iv., v., and vi. Movement of materials in Plants. Respiration. MICHAELMAS EXAMINATION: ZOOLOGY, (1) As before; with Beddard, chaps. viii. and x., BOTANY, (2) omitting the pages on Skulls. The arrangement of Tissues in Seed-Plants, as illustrated by the Wallflower, Lily, and Fir. The microscopic appearance and minute structure of tissues. The minute structure of the cells and modifications of cells found in these types. The nature of Protoplasm. The microscopic appearance of Pollen-grains, their growth and life-history. The minute structure of Ovules, Pollination, Fertilization, Production of Seeds. Scott: Pt. 1., pp. 26-141, 152-199, and 238-283. (1) Students are recommended to study in the Zoological Museum, as they are liable to be examined practically in such specimens as do not require the microscope for their recognition. (2) Students are recommended to apply to the Professor of Botany for material illustrating the Course, as a practical acquaintance with the plants mentioned in the above Syllabus is indispensable. 28. Senior Sophister Year, and Degree Examination. In the Senior Sophister Year, and at the Degree Examination, Astronomy, Ethics, and English Composition (and for Hilary Term, Psychology) are compulsory on all Students except Medical and Dental Students. A choice is permitted to the Student in respect of the six remaining Courses of Mathematical Physics, Languages, Experimental Science, Natural Science, Political and Economic Science, and Education. Students not exempted by attendance in the Professional Schools must take up two of the optional subjects. At the Hilary and Trinity Examinations, Divinity Students must take up Classics, but obtain the Professional Privilege of omitting the other optional subject, provided they have full attendance on the Lectures of Archbishop King's Professor, or the Regius Professor, and one of the Assistants, during the Term preceding the Examination at which they present themselves; at the Degree Examination, they can claim the same privilege, provided they have credit for a similar professional attendance for the entire year (i. e. the three Terms) either preceding the December Degree Examination of their Class, or preceding the Degree Examination at which they present themselves. At the Hilary and Trinity Examinations, Luw, Engineering, Indian Civil Service, and Agricultural Students who fulfil the conditions in (a), (b), (c), or (d), of § 24, obtain the Professional Privilege of being required to answer in only one of the optional Courses: but at the Degree Examination they can claim a similar Professional Privilege only if they have credit for Professional attendance as specified in (a), (b), (c), or (d), § 24, for the entire year (i.e. the three Terms) either preceding the December Degree Examination of their Class, or preceding the Degree Examination at which they present themselves; provided that, in the case of Law Students, they have also credit for the General Examination held in Trinity Term. For the conditions under which Army Students are given similar privileges see Army School. The Arts Course of Medical and Dental Students is given under that heading. An Engineering Student who has passed his Engineering Degree Examination is granted Professional Privileges in his Senior Sophister year, and at his Degree Examination. At each Degree Examination, those Students who obtain 45 per cent. and upwards, and whose answering in the several subject's is considered satisfactory by the Senior Lecturer, are distributed into three Classes, the names in each Class being arranged in the order of the percentages obtained. The minimum standards for Classes are:-First Class, 65 per cent.; Second Class, 55 per cent.; Third Class, 45 per cent. Of the remaining Candidates, those whose answering is considered by the Senior Lecturer to be sufficient are allowed the Examination, and their names are arranged in alphabetical order as Unclassed Candidates. Candidates placed in the First Class who have passed in the full course for the Degree Examination without claiming Professional Privileges are called Respondents, and are entitled to That is at the Michaelmas, Hliary, and Trinity Terms of their Senior Sophister Year. receive honorary Testimoniums, which are publicly presented to them by the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor, at the Commencements at which they are admitted to their Degrees, and their names are permanently recorded in the Calendar immediately after those of the Moderators. Medical and Dental Students who claim Professional Privileges at the Degree Examination are classed according to the marks which they obtain in the Arts and in the Professional portions of this Examination, taken together. The Degree can also be obtained on the result of the Moderatorship Examination: see § 32. A Candidate whose name is on the books of the College, and who has passed the Degree Examination, can present himself at any Commencements, in order that the Degree may be conferred upon him, provided that he shall have paid the Degree Fee of one pound to the Junior Bursar on the day before the Commencements at latest. If his name be not on the Books, he must also pay the Replacement Fee of fifteen shillings to the Junior Bursar. Keeping of Hilary or Trinity Term by Lectures. Senior Sophisters attending Lectures do not obtain credit for the Term unless the Senior Lecturer be satisfied, either from their answering in the Junior Sophister year, or from a Special Examination, that they possess a competent knowledge of Astronomy. There is one Course of Science Lectures in each Term, which represents not only the compulsory Courses, but also the optional Course of Mathematical Physics. Hence a Student having Professional Credit in Law, Engineering, the Indian Civil Service School, the Army School, or the School of Agriculture, obtains credit for the Term in Arts by attendance on this Course of Lectures. A Divinity Student must attend this Course, and also a Course in Greek and Latin, or Greek and Hebrew, or he may substitute for Classical Lectures an Examination at the conclusion of the Lectures, as in the Junior Sophister year. The ordinary Lectures in Greek are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and in Latin on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in the Senior Sophister year. The Hebrew Lectures are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All other Students except Medical and Dental Students and Engineering Students who have passed the Engineering Degree Examination must attend the Lectures in one of the optional Courses of Languages, Experimental Science, Natural Science, or Political and Economic Science, in addition to the Science Lectures representing the compulsory Courses and Mathematical Physics. To obtain credit in Political and Economic Science, Senior Sophisters must attend the Lectures in Political Science and in Economics. In Experimental Science, Laboratory attendance is necessary, as in the Junior Sophister year, and the arrangements as to Chemistry Fees are the same also. No Senior Sophister can obtain Credit for attendance on Lectures in Experimental Science who has not obtained Credit for a Junior Sophister Term in the same subject; and no Senior Sophister can obtain Credit for attendance on Lectures in Geology who has not, as a Junior Sophister, obtained Credit for Botany and Zoology. To keep the Term in Experimental or Natural Science requires attendance during three days per week only. Honor Lectures.-Senior Sophisters who have obtained Honors in Mathematics may substitute the Lectures of the Professors of Mathematics and of Natural Philosophy for the Ordinary Lectures representing Ethics, Astronomy, and Mathematical Physics. Those who have obtained Honors in Classics may substitute Professorial Lectures for Classical Ordinary Lectures, as in the Junior Sophister year. Senior Sophisters may be allowed to keep a Term by attendance, to the satisfaction of the Lecturers, at the Lectures in any two Moderatorship Courses, to be approved by the Senior Lecturer, subject to an appeal to the Board.
