§ 2. Of College Tutors and Lecturers.

Side by side with the extension of the public teaching of the University there has been an extension of the teaching of Colleges and Halls. Some years ago this teaching was chiefly confined to catechetical morning lectures, supplemented by weekly written exercises; and there was an attempt on the part of each College or Hall to provide within its own walls all the instruction that its members required. Within recent years, however, this system has been largely modified. On the one hand, there has grown up a much greater freedom of intercourse between Tutors and students. Teaching is neither so limited nor so formal as it used to be. The special needs of individual students are regarded, and a student of ability commonly receives from his Tutor all the private help which it is possible for him to give. On the other hand, the principle of division of labour has been applied to a much greater extent than formerly. Several groups of Colleges have combined together for purposes of instruction in such a way that each lecturer, instead of having to lecture upon a number of heterogeneous subjects, is able to appropriate to himself some one or more special branches. The advantage of this system to the student is partly that a much wider range of subjects can be covered, and partly that he is able to gather the best thoughts of several minds.

The ordinary lectures of Colleges and Halls are of course chiefly intended for their members: the subjects of lecture are not published, but are announced by a written notice on the buttery-board: the fees, which are included in the terminal ''battels,' vary from £15 to £25 per annum, irrespective of the number of lectures which an Undergraduate attends. This charge for tuition sometimes ceases after the twelfth Term of residence, and sometimes continues to be paid until all the Examinations necessary for the degree of B.A. have been passed. (See p. 233.)

Some Colleges and Halls admit to their lectures students who are not members of their own body. This is especially the case with the Readers on the foundation of Dr. Lee at Christ Church, to whose lectures all members of the University are admitted on payment of a fee of £1.

The combined lectures of Colleges and Halls are usually announced by printed schedules circulated in the University, some of which are printed in the University Gazette. The combinations which at present exist are:

(1) Between University, Balliol, Exeter, New, Magdalen, Corpus, St. John's, Trinity, and Worcester Colleges in respect of lectures for the First Public Examination; and between the same, omitting St. John's, for the School of Literæ Humaniores.

(2) Between Merton, Oriel, Queen's, Lincoln, Magdalen, Brasenose, Corpus, St. John's, Jesus, Wadham, and Pembroke Colleges, and St. Edmund Hall, in respect of certain lectures in the School of Literæ Humaniores.

(3) Between University, Balliol, Merton, Exeter, Queen's, New, Magdalen, Corpus, Trinity, St. John's, Pembroke, Worcester, and Hertford Colleges in respect of lectures in Mathematics: these lectures are free also to members of St. Edmund Hall and to Non-Collegiate Students.

(4) Between Balliol, Exeter, and Trinity Colleges in respect of lectures in Natural Science.

(5) Between Balliol, Exeter, New, Magdalen, Christ Church, Trinity, St. John's, Jesus, Wadham, and Keble Colleges in respect of certain lectures in Natural Science.
