The Unclassed candidates are arranged in alphabetical order. 6. At the Degree Examination, and at the General Michaelmas Examination of the Senior Freshman year, the sum total of the marks received by each Student is not the only circumstance to be taken into consideration by the Senior Lecturer, in deciding whether a Student is to be allowed credit for the Examination. The Senior Lecturer will also consider whether any of the Students shall appear to have deliberately neglected particular branches of the subjects appointed for the Examination. 7. All Students otherwise qualified by having kept the requisite number of Terms are permitted to present themselves at the Examination for Moderatorships, without appearing at the general Degree Examination; and if their answering for Moderatorships shall be deemed sufficient by the Examiners, it shall be allowed as equivalent to the general Degree Examination, even though they should not be nominated Moderators or Respondents. 8. With respect to the unsuccessful candidates at the Examination for Moderatorships, if they have not been already classed at the general Degree Examination, it is competent to the Examiners to determine whether they shall be placed among the Respondents, or in the second or third grade, or whether they shall be rejected, and lose the Examination, for insufficient answering. 9. Distinctions of the first order conferred at the Examinations for Honors, whether by Prizes, Certificates, or Moderatorships, are confined to those candidates who are prepared in all the subjects (including the extended course), as prescribed in the Programme of the Undergraduate Course. PROGRAMME OF THE UNDERGRADUATE COURSE. THE Undergraduate Course at each Examination is divided into two parts; the one to be read by all Students, the other by those who aspire to the higher Honors of their class. The following Table contains the programme of the ordinary Undergraduate Course for the present year: LOGIC AND LOCKE, AND COUSIN, As read in the Senior Freshman year. Mechanics, as before. Brinkley's Astronomy, chaps. i. to viii. inclusive, and xiv. xvi. xviii. Sophocles, Edipus Tyrannus. Juvenal, Sat. iii. viii. x. xiii. MICHAELMAS. As before. Mechanics, as before. Hart's Hydrostatics. Lloyd's Optics. As before. Eschylus, Prometheus Vinctus Junior Sophisters will be allowed to substitute a Course of Experimental Physics (viz.: Heat, Electricity, and Magnetism) for Classics, if they should desire it. The subjects appointed for Examination are as follows: In the Senior Sophister year there are five distinct Courses, headed--ASTRONOMY, ETHICS, MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS, EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS, and CLASSICS, as given below. Students in general must answer in the Courses headed ASTRONOMY and ETHICS, and in any two of the three remaining Courses which they may prefer. Students, however, who have credit for full attendance on the professional Lectures in the Schools of Divinity, Law, Medicine, or Engineering, in any Term, will, at the subsequent Examination, be required to answer in one only of the three remaining Courses, in addition to ASTRONOMY and ETHICS. At the Degree Examination no Student can claim this privilege unless he has credit for full professional attendance for the actual year in which he presents himself for his Degree. The Students in the different classes will be examined in the above Course both by papers and viva voce; and, in the translation of selected passages from the Classical authors, separate weight will be allowed for the style of the English Composition. They will also be examined at each Examination in Latin Prose Composition. |
