VII.

(Published March 10, 1849.)

THE SYNDICATE appointed Feb. 14, 1849, to consider whether any and what alterations may be made in the PREVIOUS EXAMINATION, beg leave to recommend for the approbation of the SENATE the following

PLAN FOR THE PREVIOUS EXAMINATION. [N. B. The Parts of the following Plan in which it differs from the Plan of 1837 are printed in italics.]

1 THAT the subjects of the Examination shall be one of the four Gospels in the original Greek, Paley's Evidences of Christianity, the Old Testament History, as contained in the books from Genesis to Esther both inclusive, one of the Greek and one of the Latin Classics, the Elements of Euclid, Books 1 and 2, and examples in the following rules of Arithmetic, viz. : Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Reduction,

Rule of Three; the same Rules in Vulgar and Decimal
Fractions; Practice, Simple and Compound Interest, and
Discount.

2 That the appointment of the particular Gospel, and in regard to the classical subjects, the appointment both of the authors and of the portions of their works which it may be expedient to select, shall rest with the Vice-Chancellor for the time being, the three Regii Professors of Divinity, the Civil Law, and Physic, the Regius Professor of Greek, and the Public Orator (provided that not more than two of them are members of the same College); upon this clear understanding, that in the exercise of the powers thus to be vested in them, they shall so limit the Examination, that every one who is to be examined may be reasonably expected to shew a competent knowledge of all the subjects.

3 That in case three or more of those to whom the appointment of the subjects of Examination has been assigned

shall belong to the same college, deputies for any number exceeding two shall be appointed, every year, by a Grace of the Senate.

4 That public notice of these subjects of examination in each year shall be issued in the first week of the Lent Term of the year preceding.

5 That the Examination in the Evidences of Christianity, the Old Testament History, Euclid, and Arithmetic, shall be conducted entirely by printed Papers.

6 That, in regard to the Greek Testament and the Classical subjects, every person when examined shall be required (1) to translate some portion of each subject, and (2) to construe and explain passages of the same, and to answer such plain questions in Grammar, History, and Geography, as may arise immediately out of the subjects.

7 That previously to the commencement of the Examination, the Examiners shall prepare an alphabetical list of all the persons to be examined, and divide them into six portions as nearly equal as possible: and that they shall send a copy of such list to the Prælector of each College, notifying the days and hours when each of the persons to be examined belonging to that College shall be required to attend the Examination.

8 That the Examination shall begin on the Monday in the week before the end of the Lent Term in each year.

9 That the days of Examination shall be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, in the first week, and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, in the following week; and the hours of Examination each day from 8 till 11 in the morning, and from 12 till 3 in the afternoon.

10 That on the first day the subject of Examination shall be the Evidences of Christianity, on the second day the Old Testament History, and on the third day Euclid and Arithmetic; the persons whose names appear in the first three divisions being examined in the morning, and those whose names are in the last three divisions in the afternoon of each day.

11 That during the last six days each of the six divisions shall be examined for one day in the remaining subjects, viz., in the Greek and Latin subjects, and in the Greek Testament; the persons under Examination being employed in translating the passages proposed, and each individual being called upon in turn during the time of Examination to construe and explain passages of the appointed subjects and to answer questions.

12 That the Examination of each person in the Greek and Latin subjects and in the Greek Testament shall be concluded in one day, and that the result of the whole Examination with regard to him shall be notified to the Prælector of his College as soon as conveniently may be after the end of the Examination of all the Six Divisions.

13 That every Undergraduate shall be required to attend the Examination in the Lent Term of the year next but one after that in which he has kept his first term.

14 That in case any person who has been a resident member of either of the Universities of Oxford or Dublin shall become a resident member of this University before the time at which he would have been required, had he been originally of this University, to attend the Previous Examination, such person be required to attend that Previous Examination which he would have been called upon to attend if he had come to reside in this University at the time he actually did commence his residence at Oxford or Dublin.

15 That in case any person who has been a resident member of either of the Universities of Oxford or Dublin shall become a resident member of this University after the time at which he would have been required, had he been originally of this University, to attend the Previous Examination, such person be required to attend that Previous Examination which shall take place next after his becoming a resident member of this University.

16 That two Classes (each of them arranged alphabetically) shall be formed out of those examined—the first consisting of those who have passed their examination with credit-and the second, of those to whom the Examiners have only not refused their certificate of approval.
