TRINITY COLLEGE.

THE several orders in the College are the following:

1. The PROVOST or Head of the College; who must be in Holy Orders, and a Doctor, or at least a Bachelor in Divinity, and not less than thirty years of age.

2. FELLOWS; who are all bound to enter into Priest's Orders except five: one of whom is elected Medicus, by the Provost and Senior Fellows; and two others are elected Jurista juris Civilis and Jurista juris Anglici, respectively.

3. NOBLEMEN, SONS OF NOBLEMEN, and BARONETS; who are matriculated as such under the title of Nobilis, Filius Nobilis, and Eques. Noblemen and Sons of Noblemen are entitled to the degree of Bachelor of Arts per specialem gratiam.

4. DOCTORS in the three Faculties, BACHELORS IN DIVINITY, and MASTERS OF ARTS. All Doctors and Masters of Arts, ExFellows and Ex-Scholars, having their names registered as Electors, are entitled to vote at the election of Members to represent the University in Parliament (see p. 11); but have no collegiate privileges or duties unless their names are kept on the College books.

5. BACHELORS IN CIVIL LAW, and PHYSIC, and BACHELORS OF ARTS. They are not required to keep their names on the University or College books in order to entitle them to proceed to the higher degrees.

6. FELLOW COMMONERS; who have the privilege of dining at the Fellows' Table; the number of Term Examinations required of them for the degree of Bachelor of Arts is one less than the number required of Pensioners.

7. SCHOLARS, who are on the foundation, being members of the Corporation of the College; they have their commons free of expense, and their rooms for half the charge paid by other Students; they pay half tuition fees, but are exempted from College charges or decrements, and receive from the College an annual salary. They hold their Scholarships until they become, or might have become, Masters of Arts, their standing being counted from the time of their election to Scholarships. The number of Scholars is seventy, of

whom thirty were formerly termed natives (Hibernicia), but this distinction has been abolished by King's letter, 8 Geo. IV.

8. NON-FOUNDATION SCHOLARS, whose emoluments and tenure of office are the same as those of the foregoing class of Students, but who, as their name imports, are not members of the Corporation, and do not enjoy the University franchise (vide p. 12).

9. PENSIONERS.

10. SIZARS are Students of limited means, who have their commons free of expense, and are exempted from annual fees. They were formerly nominated one by each Fellow, and eight or more (provided the number of thirty were not exceeded) by the Provost. They are now elected annually by an examination (see p. 16); and if they enter College as Sizars, they are entitled to hold their Sizarships for four years. In the event of any person who is already a Student of the College being elected a Sizar, the duration of his Sizarship shall not exceed four years from the Sizarship Examination next succeeding his entrance into College. Sizars, who fail to keep their class, or who drop a class without the express permission of the Board, ipso facto vacate their Sizarships.

COLLEGE CHARGES.

THE College payments are made half-yearly. The Junior Bursar attends in sufficient time to enable all students to pay their halfyearly accounts before the first Saturday in May and the first Saturday in November, on which days the fines for tardy payment commence; and the names of all persons whose accounts are not paid before the first Saturday in June, and the first Saturday in December respectively, are taken off the College Books, and not restored until all fines and fees have been paid.

A fee of fifteen shillings is paid to the Junior Bursar for the replacement of the name of any Student on the books, in addition to the usual College charge.

The following is a Table of the half-yearly charges, including tuition, but exclusive of rooms and commons:
