BOARD OF MATHEMATICAL STUDIES,

ESTABLISHED BY GRACE, OCT. 31, 1848.

WITH a view to encourage attendance at the Lectures of the Mathematica Professors, and to secure a correspondence between those Lectures and th Mathematical Examinations of the University; and also as a means of commu nicating to the Students themselves, from a body of experienced Examiner and Lecturers, correct views of the nature and objects of the Mathematica Examinations: The Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, the Plumian Profes sor of Astronomy, the Lowndean Professor of Geometry and Astronomy, an the Jacksonian Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy, togethe with the Moderators and Examiners for Mathematical Honors for the tim being, as well as those of the two years immediately preceding, are constitute a Board of Mathematical Studies: whose duty it is to consult together from time to time on all matters relating to the actual state of Mathematical Studie and Examinations in the University; and to prepare annually and lay befor the Vice-Chancellor a Report, to be by him published to the University in the Lent or Easter Term of each year.

EXAMINATION FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR

THE Candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts must have resided ten terms; or the major part of such terms; the Term in which he entered and that in which he takes the degree are reck oned to him among the twelve required to be kept, by the Statutes

This Examination extends over twenty-two days. The Modera tors form the Questionists (this being the appellation of the Stu dents during the last six weeks of preparation) into two alphabetica lists, of Candidates for Honors, and Questionists not Candidate. for Honors, and these lists are published previously to the Ex amination Day.

On the Tuesday succeeding December 30, the Candidates for Honors enter the Senate-House a little before nine o'clock; the other Questionists at the same hour on the morning of the Wed

esday week after the first day of the Examination of the Candilates for Honors, preceded by a Master of Arts, who, on this occaion, is styled the Father of the College to which he belongs'.

The Examination of those who contend for Honors commences n the Tuesday succeeding the 30th of December, according to he following REGULATIONS, confirmed by Grace of the Senate. Plan of Examination for Questionists who are Candidates for Honors.

The elementary parts of Dynamics, treated without the Differential Calalus; namely, the Doctrine of Uniform and Uniformly Accelerated Motion, Falling Bodies, Projectiles, Collision, and Cycloidal Oscillations.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Sections of Newton's Principia; the Propositions be proved in Newton's manner.

The elementary parts of Hydrostatics, treated without the Differential alculus; namely, the pressure of non-elastic Fluids, specific Gravities, ating Bodies, the pressure of the Air, and the construction and use of the ore simple Instruments and Machines.

The elementary parts of Optics: namely, the laws of Reflection and fraction of Rays at plane and spherical surfaces, not including AberraLs; the Eye; Telescopes.

All the Questionists are required to pay their | the Saturday or Monday preceding the first day of to the Registrary and the Junior Proctor on the Examination for Honors.

4. In all these subjects, Examples, and Questions arising directly out the Propositions, shall be introduced into the Examination, in addition t the Propositions themselves.

5. The Examination both for Mathematical Honors and for the Ordinar Degree shall be conducted according to the following Schedule.

6. The Moderators and Examiners shall be authorized to declare Car didates, though they have not deserved Mathematical Honors, to have d served to pass for an Ordinary Degree, so far as the Mathematical part of th Examination for such Degree is concerned; and such persons shall accor ingly be excused the Mathematical part of the Examination for an Ordinar Degree, and shall only be required to pass in the other subjects, namely, the parts of the Examination assigned in the Schedule to the two last days but such excuse shall be available to such persons only for the Examinatio then in progress.
