STUDENTS.

REGULATIONS AS TO MATRICULATION.

Each Student shall pay a Matriculation Fee of one guinea at the commencement of each Winter Session for the whole academical year then next ensuing; but any Student attending a class or classes during a Summer Session without having matriculated at the commencement of the immediately preceding Winter Session shall, in respect of such Summer Session, pay a Matriculation Fee of half a guinea only. (Ord. No. 50, sect. I.)

No person shall be deemed to be a Matriculated Student in the University, or shall enjoy any of the privileges of a Matriculated Student unless, in addition to paying the Matriculation Fee, he is enrolled as a Student in attendance in one or more classes in the University, and has paid the fees entitling him to such attendance. (Ord. No. 147, sect. I.)

In accordance with a resolution of the Senatus Academicus, approved of by the University Court, Matriculation and Class Fees will be received from Students of the United College, next Winter Session, from Tuesday 5th October to Saturday 30th October; and from Students of St Mary's College from Tuesday 26th October to Saturday 20th November. The fees will be received at the University Library on days and at hours of which due intimation will be made.

The University Court has in special circumstances power to permit persons who have not matriculated as aforesaid to attend any single class in any Faculty, on payment of an Entrance Fee of one guinea in addition to the authorised Class Fee, subject to the following provisions-viz., that (1) attendance on any Class without payment of the Matriculation Fee shall not qualify for graduation in any Faculty; (2) that persons who have not paid the Matriculation Fee shall not be entitled to a certificate of attendance on any Class; and (3) that payment of such Entrance Fee shall not confer any University privilege other than the right of attendance on such Class. (Ord. No. 50, sect. II.)

Matriculated Students have the right of admission to the University Library, and to the Museum of Natural History. They also have the privilege of electing, by a general poll, the Rector of the University.

The following is the Sponsio Academica signed by students at matriculation :

"Nos ingenui adolescentes, nomina subscribentes, sancte pollicemur, nos preceptoribus obsequium debitum exhibituros, et

hujus Academiæ Andreanæ emolumentum et commodum, quantum in nobis sit, procuraturos, ad quemcunque vitæ statum pervenerimus."

REGULATIONS AS TO BURSARS.

The attention of students who are Bursars is called to the following resolutions of the United College :

1. The College in every ordinary case exacts from Bursars regular attendance in each Session on two full classes, or on one full class and two partial classes. (A partial class is one which meets less than four times a-week.) Any fourth-year Bursar, who has not two full classes remaining to be taken in the Arts curriculum, and who desires exemption from the above rule, shall make a written application to the Dean of the Faculty at the beginning of the session, stating the course of study he has followed at College, and what Degree examinations, if any, he has passed.

2. A student of the first, second, third, or fourth year is one who is fulfilling the above condition for the first, second, third, or fourth time respectively in this or any other Scottish University, with the following exceptions :—

a. A student who begins his university studies by passing the preliminary examination is considered to be a student of the second, third, and fourth years, according as he is fulfilling the above condition for the first, second, or third time respectively.

b. A student who, after having attended this or any other Scottish University for one or more sessions, competes successfully for an entrance Bursary in the United College, shall only hold it on the condition that he becomes anew a bona fide first year's student of that session, and takes the full course required for graduation. He is to be reckoned for all University and College purposes as being a first year's student of that year. No student is entitled to a Bursary who has not completed his Preliminary Examination.

COMMON DINING-TABLE FOR STUDENTS.

In Session 1887-88 there was instituted a Common Dining-Table for Students, similar to what exists at the Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. A dinner abundant in quantity, of the best quality, and well cooked, is provided 5 days a-week at 2 o'clock. The ticket for the St Mary's College session is £3, 6s., and for the United College session, £3, 15s. Application for tickets should be made to Professor Lang, the University, St Andrews, before the beginning of the United College Session.

STUDENTS' LODGINGS.

The Senatus and Students' Representative Council have prepared a list of the lodgings in town suitable for students. The Janitors at the United College and St Mary's College will show it to those who apply.

UNIVERSITY HALL FOR WOMEN-STUDENTS.

Warden-Miss Louisa Innes Lumsden, Classical Honours,
Girton College, Cambridge.

On 22d February 1892, the Scottish Universities Commission issued an Ordinance (No. 18, General No. 9) under which it became "competent to the University Court, after consultation with the Senatus, to make provision within the University for the instruction of women in any of the subjects taught within the University, either by admitting them to the ordinary classes, or by instituting separate classes for their instruction." As soon as

this Ordinance had received the approval of Her Majesty in Council, steps were taken to provide a Hall of Residence for Women students where they could live together under a Head. As a temporary arrangement, the house No. 79 North Street was secured for those who intended to enter the University in Session 1892-93. No provision for residence was made during the years 1893-94 and 1894-95, but for 1895-96 Argyle Lodge was similarly rented. Meanwhile, a scheme for the erection of a permanent Hall of Residence for Women had been in progress. A grant of £2000 for this purpose was received from the Pfeiffer Trust, about £3000 were voted from the L.L.A. Funds, and various donations were obtained from individuals through the exertions of Professor Knight, the Convener of the L.L.A. Committee. A site having been granted by the University Court on the lands of Rathelpie, a portion of the original patrimony of St Leonard's College, the building was proceeded with, and was ready for occupation at the beginning of Session 1896-97.

The Hall, which stands in grounds extending to about three and a half acres, accommodates over 20 students.

The Fees (which include Board and Residence) are as follows: Study-bedroom (divided by a curtain) £35; larger study-bedroom (divided by a curtain) £40 to £50; small bedroom and private study £50. Light (except from 11 P.M. to 6 A.M.) and an allowance of coal are included in these charges. The fees for the Summer Session come to about half of those for the Winter Session.

Hours: Breakfast, 7.30 to 8.30 A.M.; breakfast on Sunday, 8.30 A.M.; luncheon, 11 to 2.30; tea, 4 to 5 P.M.; dinner, 7 P.M. On Sundays there is early dinner, and supper at 7.30. On Saturdays (on which day no University Classes are held) prayers are read in the Library at 9 A.M., and it is hoped that all students will be present.

A limited number of intending students can be received in the Hall at the rate of 3s. 6d. a-day, during the Preliminary Examination which is held during the last week in September.

Further information, if desired, together with a copy of the Rules and Regulations, may be had on application to the Warden, University Hall, St Andrews.

Particulars as to Bursaries open to Women will be found among the United College Announcements for next Session in a subsequent part of the Calendar.
