II.

1. Any Student who has passed the Intermediate Examination of the Cape University is entitled to present himself for the Final Examination of the Senior Freshman, or second, Year.

2. To such Students the Entrance Fee, and the half-yearly fees up to and including the November half-year at the end of the Junior Freshman Year, are remitted.

III.

1. Any Student who has passed the B.A. Examination of the Cape University is entitled to put his name on the Books of Trinity College as a rising Junior Sophister, or Student who has obtained credit for two Collegiate Years.

2. To such Students the Entrance fee, and the half-yearly fees up to and including the May half-year of the Senior Freshman Year, are remitted.

3. In keeping their Terms, Students from South Africa are allowed to substitute Dutch for French or German, when two languages are required.

IV.

EXHIBITIONS AWARDED TO STUDENTS FROM

SOUTH AFRICA.

A scheme for the encouragement of Colonial Students contained in Resolutions of the Board of March 21, 1903, and June 25, 1904, was modified by the Board and Council on Dec. 7th, 1911, so that it is now as follows:

I. That three Exhibitions be offered annually to South African Students, each not exceeding £50 per annum, and tenable for three years. The tenure of the Exhibitions while in Trinity College shall be subject to satisfactory progress in the Courses taken up by the Exhibitioner.

II. That the selection of Exhibitioners be made in South Africa and no longer in Trinity College, and by Nomination with or without Examination.

III. That the six University Colleges in South Africa be divided into two Groups, of three each, and in the following order :

[blocks in formation]

a1. South African College, Cape- b1. Victoria College, Stellen

[blocks in formation]

IV. That each Group shall nominate, in alternate years [(A) nominating in 1912, or sooner should special circumstances arise], three Exhibitioners, one from each College in the Group. These Nominations shall be made by the Professorial Staff, subject to confirmation by the Councils of the Colleges.

V. That if any College shall fail to nominate an Exhibitioner, the nomination shall pass to another College in the same Group, in the order of rotation.

VI. That in the selection of Exhibitioners, those should be chosen who, in the opinion of the Nominators, are best fitted, physically as well as intellectually, to derive benefit from Arts or Medical and other Studies in Trinity College.

VII. A Candidate for an Exhibition in Trinity College shall not be disqualified therefor, by reason of his holding any Exhibition or Scholarship in South Africa.

VIII. That the standing to be taken in Trinity College by each Exhibitioner shall be that described in I., II., III., above, as applicable to all Students from South Africa.

IX. That the scheme shall be in force for six years, but may be extended, or modified, or brought to an end, on notice being given in the fourth year.

Honor Courses.

STUDENTS may become Candidates for Honors in the following subjects, at each Term Examination in the Undergraduate Course:

A Prize Examination is held in Mental and Moral Philosophy in the Michaelmas Term of the Junior Freshman year; Prize Examinations are also held in Experimental Science, in Natural Science, and in Old and Middle Irish in the Michaelmas Term of the Senior and Junior Freshman years; and a Prize Examination in Celtic Languages in the Michaelmas Term of the Junior Sophister year.

At the B. A. Degree Examination, Students may graduate in Honors in ten subjects, viz. :

Mathematics.

Classics.

Mental and Moral Philosophy.

Experimental Science.

Natural Science.

History and Political Science.

Modern Literature.

Legal and Political Science

Engineering Science.

Celtic Languages.

The regulations by which the rank and value of the various Honors and Prizes are determined have been already given (see above, under the head "Honors and Prizes").

§ I. MATHEMATICS.

[The books recommended by the Mathematical Committee are printed on a separate leaflet.

Credit will be given for style and neat arrangement of answers.

Candidates are expected to bring into the hall books of tables and Mathematical instruments. A practical paper will be set in each

Freshman Term.

In Michaelmas Term a general paper will be set covering all the preceding Honor Course.]
