the Greek Text of the Holy Gospels additional matter sanctioned by the Board. (f) Every Candidate whose name has previously been placed in the Class-list by the Classical Moderators, but who failed to satisfy them in either the Gospels or the book offered instead thereof, and who offers himself for subsequent examination in a book offered instead of the Gospels, is required to specify the books and subjects which he offered for Classical Honours. The names which are thus given in are printed in a list which is affixed to certain public places within the University, and also published in the University Gazette. 3. SUBJECTS OF EXAMINATION.-These are five in number; between them no compensation is admitted: a Candidate is required to satisfy the Examiners in each of them separately. (1) The Four Gospels in Greek. [Candidates are expected to be able to translate the Greek text, and to answer questions on the subject-matter.] Candidates who desire under the conditions specified above (e) to offer a book in place of the Gospels, may offer any one of the Greek books in the list of Subjects from which they may choose their other books, provided that it is not the same as the book in which they satisfied the Masters of the Schools (or the Examiners whose certificates are accepted in lieu of the Testamur of the Masters of the Schools), nor a portion of any of the same authors which they are offering in the course of the same Examination. (2) Logic, or Mathematics. (a) For Candidates who offer Logic the subjects of examination are the Elements of Logic, Deductive and Inductive. The subjects may be studied either in Fowler's Elements of Deductive Logic and the first five chapters of Fowler's Elements of Inductive Logic (omitting the sections on Classification, Nomenclature, and Terminology, and the notes appended at the end of each chapter), or in Jevons' Elementary Lessons in Logic, or in any other works which cover the same ground. (b) For Candidates who offer Mathematics the subjects of examination are (i) In Algebra, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division, of Algebraical Quantities (including simple irrational quantities expressed by radical signs or fractional indices), Greatest Common Measure and Least Common Multiple, Fractions, Extraction of Square Root, Simple Equations containing one or two unknown quantities, Quadratic Equations containing one unknown quantity, Questions producing such Equations, and the simplest properties of Ratio and Proportion. (ii) In Geometry, the Geometry of the Circle, viz. Euclid, Book III, and the first nine Propositions of Book IV. (3) Translation of English into Latin. A Candidate is expected to be able to translate into Latin, without grammatical mistake, a passage of an English author slightly more idiomatic than is required at Responsions. (4) Three Books, of which one at least must be Greek and one Latin, and one either a historical or a philosophical work, from the following lists. Whatever be the particular books offered, candidates are required to show a competent knowledge both of the text and of the contents of the books which they offer, and to answer not only questions relating to Grammar and Literature, but also any questions directly arising out of the matters treated of in these books. Candidates who matriculated in or after Easter Term 1876 must select their three books from the following list and under the following conditions: Greek. *Herodotus, V, VI. *Thucydides, VI, VII. *Xenophon : Memorabilia, I, II, IV. *Plato: Apologia, Meno. *Aristotle: Polit. I, III. Demosthenes: De Corona. Homer: II. XVII-XXII. Aristophanes: Acharn., Nubes. Latin.-*Livy, V, VI, VII. *Tacitus: Hist. I, II, III. Cicero: Pro Roscio Amerino, Philipp. II. Terence: Andr., Phorm., Heaut. Virgil: Æn. VII-XII. Horace: Sat. I, II; Epist. I, II. Juvenal (except Sat. II, VI, IX). [Candidates who matriculated between Easter Term, 1876, and Hilary Term, 1880, both inclusive, may also select Eschylus: Prom., Pers., Sept. c. Theb. *Cicero: De Natura Deorum, I, II.] The historical and philosophical works, from which one at least of the books which are offered must be selected, are marked with an asterisk. No Candidate will be allowed to offer any of the same books, or a portion of any of the same authors, in which he satisfied the Masters of the Schools (or the Examiners whose certificates are accepted in lieu of the Testamur of the Masters of the Schools), except in the following cases: (i) Candidates who have offered any portion of Cicero other than his Orations at Responsions (or the equivalent Examinations) may offer Orations of Cicero at Moderations, and vice versa. (ii) Candidates who have offered the Odes or Epodes of Horace together with the Ars Poetica at Responsions (or the equivalent Examinations) may offer the Satires and Epistles of Horace at Moderations. But Candidates who have offered a portion of the Odyssey at Responsions or the equivalent Examinations will not be allowed to offer a portion of the Iliad at Moderations, nor will Candidates who have offered the Georgics at Responsions or the equivalent Examinations be allowed to offer a portion of the Æneid at Moderations. A Candidate who is permitted to offer either Sanskrit or Arabic (p. 135) is required, until further notice, to select the book, or the two books, which he offers from the following lists: but in no case will a Candidate be allowed to offer the same book, or any part of it, in which he satisfied the Masters of the Schools. (1) Sanskrit. Pañća-tantra: Book I, or Books II, III. Raghu-vansa: I-VII. Kumāra-sambhava: I-VII. Bhagavad-gitā: the whole. Bhaṭṭi-kavya: I-V, with the commentary of Jaya-mangala. (2) Arabic. (1) Kur'an: Sur. 1, 19, 90-114, with the commentary of alBaidawi (ed. Fleischer) on Sur. 19. (2) The Mu'allakāt: any two of the poems with the commentary (ed. Arnold). (3) Al-Hariri: any three Makāmas with commentary. (4) El-Fakhri (ed. Ahlwardt), pp. 1-175, or 176-390. (5) [El-Beladhori]: Anonyme Arabische Chronik (ed. Ahlwardt, Bd. xi, ed. 1883), pp. 161-359. Candidates who offer two Arabic books are required to offer either (1), or (2), or (3), with either (4) or (5). Candidates are also required to translate short passages from books not specially offered by them, and, unless they offer Latin, to translate from English into the language which they offer. (5) Translation of passages of Greek and Latin books which have not been specially offered. 4. ORDER OF THE EXAMINATION.-The Examination is conducted chiefly in writing, partly also viva voce. On the first day of the Examination the Candidates assemble at the Schools, and are supplied with printed questions on each of the five subjects successively, though not always in the same order. On succeeding days the Candidates are examined viva voce in two divisions, to each of which three Moderators are assigned. Not more than sixteen Candidates are thus examined every day in each division: those who are also Candidates for Mathematical Honours (see p. 142) are examined first. A list of the order in which Candidates are required to appear is prepared by the Clerk of the Schools and exhibited in the Hall of the Schools; and Candidates should be careful to consult it from day to day. If any Candidate fails to appear at the required time, he is liable to have his name struck off the list, unless he satisfies the Vice-Chancellor that he has a valid reason for absence, in which case another place in the order of the Examination is assigned to him by the Moderators. At the close of each day's viva voce examination, every Candidate who has satisfied the Moderators in each of these five subjects receives, on application to the Clerk of the Schools, a written Testamur, signed by the Moderators, to that effect. Any Candidate who fails to satisfy the Examiners may offer himself again at any subsequent Examination, provided that on each occasion of his so offering himself he gives in his name to the Junior Proctor, and otherwise complies with the conditions mentioned above (p. 134). As in the case of Responsions, though the University imposes no limit to the number of times of candidature, each Society (see pp. 25–27) usually lays down a rule in this respect. The names of all who have passed at each Examination are published in the University Gazette. 2. Examination of those who seek Honours 1. TIME.-The Examination is held in Hilary Term, and begins on the Thursday in the seventh week of full Term. 2. CANDIDATES.-The preliminary conditions are the same as are required from those who do not seek Honours, with the exception that they must have entered upon their fourth and not have exceeded their eighth Term from the Term of their Matriculation inclusively. (But members of an Affiliated College who wish to claim the privileges mentioned below, p. 224, must not, have been matriculated.) 3. SUBJECTS. (1) The Four Gospels in Greek.—This part of the Examination differs in no respect from that of those who do not seek Honours, and every Candidate who objects on religious grounds to an examination in the Gospels may, in the same way, after having delivered the required statement to the Proctor (p. 135), offer instead thereof any one of the Greek books which may be offered by those who do not seek Honours, proIvided that it is not the same as that in which he satisfied the Masters of the Schools (or the Examiners whose certificates are accepted in lieu of the Testamur of the Masters of the Schools, p. 134), or as any one of those which he offers for Honours, or which, in the case mentioned below, he has previously offered. A Candidate who fails to satisfy the Moderators in either the Gospels or the substituted subject may, notwithstanding, be placed in the Class-list, and may offer himself for examination in the Gospels, or the substituted subject, in any subsequent Term: but he cannot offer himself for any part of the Second Public Examination until he has satisfied the Moderators in this part of the First Public Examination. (2) Greek and Latin Literature.-The following are the regulations which come into effect in Hilary Term 1886 I. All Candidates for Honours will be examined in the following subjects: (a) Translation of passages from Homer (Dindorf), Virgil (Papil- (b) Translation of passages from other Greek and Latin authors. A. (1) Æschylus, the Trilogy, or any four plays including the Agamemnon. [Paley, Cambr. texts.] (2) Sophocles, any three plays: or any two plays with the Agamemnon of Eschylus. [Campbell.] (3) Euripides, any four of the following plays-Bacchæ, Hippolytus, Ion, Iphigenia in Tauris, Medea, Phoenissæ, Hecuba, Alcestis. [Paley, Cambr. texts.] B. (1) Aristophanes, any three of the following plays-Acharn., Aves, (2) Thucydides, any three consecutive books. [Bekker.] |
