I O IO I IO O IO (e) To state in writing, on a form provided for the purpose, the particular books and subjects which he offers for examination. (ƒ) Every Candidate who desires to.be excused from examination in the Thirty-nine Articles, or in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion, must at the same time deliver, or transmit through his Tutor, to the Proctor a statement signed by himself, if he be of full age, that he objects to such an examination on religious grounds, or, if he be not of full age, a statement signed by his parent or guardian that they object on religious grounds to such an examination for him. The books or subjects which such Candidate offers in place of the Thirty-nine Articles or the Rudiments of Faith and Religion must be specified in the list of subjects given in by him to the Proctor. The books and subjects which may be so offered, and also the limitations in regard to the selection of them, are stated on p. 149. 3. ORDER OF THE EXAMINATION.-The Examination in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion always begins on Saturday in the seventh week of full Term in Michaelmas and Hilary Terms. The days on which the Examinations in the Honour Schools and in the several Groups of the Pass School begin are announced on each occasion by the Examiners. Every Candidate for examination in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion, or in the substituted matter, must be examined viva voce as well as in writing therein; and every Candidate in every School (except the Honour School of Mathematics) must be examined viva voce in some part at least of the subjects which he offers. The order in which Candidates are thus examined viva voce is so arranged as to prevent the clashing of two Examinations: the Examiners in the several Schools may determine it as they think fit. Candidates should be careful to consult from day to day the list which is exhibited in the Hall of the Schools, containing the order in which they are required to attend the several parts of the Examination. Any Candidate who fails to appear at the required time is liable to have his name struck off the list, unless he can satisfy the Vice-Chancellor that there was a valid reason for his absence, in which case another place in the order of the Examination is assigned to him by the Examiners. At the close of each day of viva voce examination in the subjects of the Pass School, or in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion (or in the substituted matter), the Examiners issue certificates of having passed their Examinations, in each branch respectively, to those Candidates who have satisfied them. These certificates may be obtained on application to the Clerk of the Schools. After all the Candidates in any Honour School have been examined, the Examiners in that School distribute the names of such Candidates as are judged by them to have shown sufficient merit into four Classes, according to the merit of each Candidate, and draw up a list accordingly with the names in each Class arranged alphabetically. Every Candidate whose name is placed in this list receives a certificate, signed by all the Examiners, to that effect; and if it appears to the Examiners in any Honour School that any Candidate not placed by them in one of the four Classes has nevertheless shown in his examination sufficient merit to entitle him to a certificate of having passed in one or more of the subjects of the Pass School, they give such certificate accordingly. These certificates may be obtained on application to the Clerk of the Schools. If a Candidate for Honours in any School by application through his Tutor satisfy the Examiners that illness alone prevented him from gaining a place in the Class-list, they may grant him a special certificate and place his name at the foot of the Class-list, distinguished by the word 'ægrotat.' The Examiners in any Honour School may, with the consent of the Vice-Chancellor, examine a Candidate, who applies through his Tutor, at any time and place and in any manner that shall seem fit to them, and may take account of such Examination in granting or refusing a certificate. They may also, if a Candidate has finished his work on paper but furnishes through his Tutor a certificate that he is unable to return to the Schools owing to illness, examine him viva voce elsewhere, and place him in such Class as they judge him to deserve. At the close of the whole Examination a list of those who have received certificates in the Pass School, and of the Classes in the several Honour Schools, is published in the University Gazette. 4. SUBJECTS OF EXAMINATION.-The subjects of examination in the several Schools are as follows: 1. Examination in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion. 1. The subjects of examination in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion are (1) The Books of the Old and New Testaments, the Holy Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles being required in the original Greek. (2) The Thirty-nine Articles of Religion agreed upon in the Convocation holden at London in the year 1562. 2. Any Candidate who, being of full age, objects on religious grounds, or for whom, not being of full age, his parents or guardians object on religious grounds, to an examination in the Thirty-nine Articles (see p. 146), is permitted to offer instead thereof either The Epistle to the Galatians, to be studied in the original Greek; or, The Ecclesiastical History of the Third Century. Any Candidate who, under like conditions, objects to an examination in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion (see p. 146), is permitted to offer instead thereof some books or subjects appointed for this purpose by the Board of Studies for the Pass School; provided always that the matter so substituted is not any book or books specified or recommended either for any Group in the Pass School in the Second Public Examination, or for any other School of the First or Second Public Examination.

Examination of those who do not seek Honours. 1. GENERAL REGULATIONS. The subjects of examination for Candidates who do not seek Honours are arranged in three Groups : A. (1) Two Books, either both Greek, or one Greek and one Latin, one of such Books being some portion of a Greek philosophical work, and the other a portion of a Greek or Latin Historian. (2) The Outlines of Greek and Roman History, and English Composition. (3) The Elements of Sanskrit, including translation into the language and a portion of its literature. (4) The Elements of Persian, including translation into the language and a portion of its literature. B. (1) Either English History and a period or subject of English Literature, or a period of Modern European History or of Indian History with Political and Descriptive Geography; together (in each case) with English Composition. (2) A Modern Language, either French or German, including composition in the language, and a period of its Literature. (3) The Elements of Political Economy. (4) A branch of Legal study. (Among the alternatives under this head must always be included a branch or branches of Indian Law.) C. (1) The Elements of Geometry, including Geometrical Trigonometry. (2) The Elements of Mechanics, Solid and Fluid, treated Mathematically. (3) The Elements of Chemistry, with an elementary practical examination. (4) The Elements of Physics, not necessarily treated Mathematically. Each Candidate is examined in three of the above subjects, of which not more than two can be taken from any one of the three groups, and of which one must be either A (1) or A (3) or A (4) or B (2), and the examination in the three subjects may be passed in separate Terms. No Candidate is allowed to offer any of the same books, or, except in cases specially excepted by the Board of Studies, a portion of any of the authors in which he satisfied the Masters of the Schools or the Moderators, or which he offered instead of the Gospels. The only case at present so excepted is that any one who has obtained Honours at the First Public Examination may offer in the Final Pass School a portion of any of the same authors which he offered at that Examination, provided that it be not the same portion (or any part of it) as that previously offered by him, and provided also that it be one of the books or subjects contained in the list issued by the Board of Studies for the Final Pass School.
