Stat. chap. v. and vii.

REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE KEEPING OF TERMS BY UNDERGRADUATES.

1. Students in the first and second years of their undergraduate course are denominated Junior and Senior Freshmen; in the third and fourth years Junior and Senior Sophisters. In the fifth year Students are termed Candidate Bachelors, until they have actually taken the Degree of A. B., after which they are termed Junior Bachelors.

2. A Student who desires to avail himself, to the full extent, of the benefits of an University education, will reside and keep every Term by attendance on Lectures, and pass every Term Examination. The omission of a Term is therefore regarded as a collegiate offence, and punished by pecuniary fine.

3. But as some Students, from illness or other causes, must necessarily omit some Terms, the following regulations have been framed, for the purpose of enabling them in certain cases to supply the omission, as also for fixing the necessary limits of such omissions.

4. Terms may be kept in two ways: first, by attendance on Lectures, in which case three-fourths of the whole number of Lectures, in Science and in Classics respectively, must be attended with diligence; and the Tutors and other Lecturers have the power of refusing to give credit for attendance, if the Student should exhibit negligence or insufficient preparationa.

5. Terms may also be kept by passing the Term Examinations. Thus, for example, the Hilary Term may be kept by attending the Lectures given daily during that Term, or by passing the Examination, in the same subjects, held at the beginning of the succeeding Trinity Term. But the Student who keeps the Term by attending Lectures, and who also passes the corresponding Examination following, the subjects being the same, gets credit for but one and the same Term.

SECT. 1. Of the Terms to be kept in the Freshman Years.

1. To rise from the class of Junior to that of Senior Freshman, one Term, at least, must be kept by Examination. That is to say, a Student who, during his first year, fails to pass at least one Term Examination, even though he may have kept one or more Terms by

a All Students seeking credit for a Term by Lectures must, at the commencement of such Term, duly register with the Clerk of the Books their places of residence for that Term, and during Term notify a change of residence, otherwise credit for the Term cannot be allowed.

Lectures, cannot rise to the second Academic year, but will, at the end of his first year, be put back into his former class.

2. To rise from the class of Senior Freshman to that of Junior Sophister, the Student must pass the general Examination of Senior Freshmen held at the beginning of Michaelmas Term.

3. He will not, however, be permitted to present himself at this Examination, unless he have previously kept three Terms, one of which (as already stated) must have been kept by Examination in the Junior Freshman year; and one, either by Examination or by Lectures, in the Senior Freshman year. The third may be kept, either by Lectures or by Examination, in either year.

4. If one of these Terms be omitted, the Student, to keep his class, must pass a supplemental Examination (in the subjects of the last Term Examination omitted) at the beginning of the Michaelmas Term of his Senior Freshman year; and he will then be permitted to present himself at a second supplemental Examination at the beginning of the succeeding Hilary Term, in the subjects of the general Senior Freshman Michaelmas Examination.

5. If, however, at the beginning of the Michaelmas Term of the Senior Freshman year, a Student shall be found to have kept no Terms (except the one Term kept by Examination, without which he could not have risen from the Junior Freshman class), then he cannot be allowed a supplemental Examination; and it will be the duty of the Senior Lecturer to put him back to the class below.

6. If a Student, being qualified to present himself, should nevertheless omit to present himself at the regular Senior Freshman Michaelmas Examination, or if he should fail to pass said Examination, he will be allowed to pass a supplemental Examination in the same subjects at the beginning of the succeeding Hilary Term. But in no case can he rise to the class of Sophister, until he has passed this general Examination; and if after the Hilary Examination of his third year, it shall be found that he has not passed said general Examination, he will be put back by the Senior Lec

turer to his former class.

7. Thus the minimum of attendance absolutely necessary to qualify a Student to present himself at the general Michaelmas Senior Freshman Examination, will be one Term, kept by Exami nation, in his Junior Freshman year; one Term in his Senior Freshman year, which may be kept either by Lectures or by Examination; and one Term, which may also be kept in either way, and in either year.

8. The Student must also, during his two Freshman years, keep Catechetical Terms, the rules of which will be found, page 41. Roman Catholics and other Dissenters are not required to keep Catechetical Terms, but may do so if they desire it.
