Matriculation Examination to be held by this University. And no person whose age, on the day of examination, shall exceed twenty-six years, shall be allowed to hold a Studentship. OF FELLOWSHIPS. The Senate may elect thirty-two Fellows of the University. In case it shall at any time appear advisable to reduce the number, it shall be in their power, with the consent of the Lord Lieutenant, to do so. The salary of a Fellow, if he be not also a Fellow or Professor of some other University or College attached to an University or College endowed with public money, shall be £400 per annum. If he be a Fellow or Professor of such other University or College, and in receipt of a salary in respect of such other Fellowship or Professorship, he shall receive in respect of his Fellowship in this University such annual sum as, with the salary of his other Fellowship or Professorship, shall amount to £400 a year. A Fellow shall hold office for seven year. The Senate shall appoint to the office by open voting. The first set of Fellows shall be appointed by selection, without competitive examination; but afterwards vacancies in the office shall be filled in manner following. If occurring by reason of the expiration of the term for which the Fellowship was held, it shall be competent for the Senate to elect the same person again to the office. But when this shall not be done, and also in the case of vacancies arising from any other cause, the vacancy, if to be filled, shall be filled by competitive examination of graduates of the University, unless in any instance occurring within seven years after the appointment of the first set of Fellows it shall appear to the Senate more expedient to elect without examination. Every Fellow shall hold his Fellowship upon condition that if required by the Senate he shall give his services in teaching Students of the University in some Educational Institution approved by the Senate, wherein matriculated students of the University are being taught. The Fellows shall constitute a Board of Examiners; they shall be bound to conduct by themselves, or with such other persons as the Senate may add, the University Examinations, without further payment, except for expenses. They shall report, for the consideration of the Senate, the standard to be required from students for Pass and Honours, and the relative proportion of marks to be allowed for the different subjects. If they think it expedient so to do, they shall have power to suggest for the approval of the Senate editions or text-books to be used by students in connection with the prescribed subjects. They shall, from time to time, report to the Senate the result of the examinations they have held, and submit for its consideration whatever rules they propose should be made in respect of the examinations. The names of all persons to be proposed for the office of Fellow shall be forwarded to the Standing Committee, who shall communicate them, and information respecting the offices to be filled, to each member of the Senate; and no meeting shall be held for the election until a fortnight after the Committee shall have communicated such information.

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, STEPHEN'S GREEN, DUBLIN, Was founded in 1854; its first Rector, the Very Rev. J. H. Newman, D.D., was installed in 1855. It has no endowment, but depends upon voluntary contributions. Its organisation has not yet been fully completed, for although it includes the five Faculties of Theology, Law, Medicine, Philo sophy, and Letters, and Science, the last three only are at present in operation. The Faculty of Medicine is established in Cecilia Street, where there are two Medical Theatres, dissecting-rooms, a laboratory, &c. Anatomical dissections commence Oct. 1st; the Medical year of Lectures is from November 2nd to April 9th, and from April 10th to July 13th. The Medical School has several Exhibitions and Prizes. The Medical College is provided for the residence of Students whose studies and morals are simultaneously regulated. Each Medical Student is required to enter the Faculty of Arts as well as of Medicine. The ordinary fees are 17. at Matriculation in Arts. 2. on taking A.B. Degree, and 31. 38. for each course of Medical Lectures ; there being in all 19 courses, extending over four years. Hospital fees, 3 years' course, are 8 or 9 guineas per annum, and diploma fees, at the end of the course, about 301. The course of studies in the Faculties of Arts and Science also extends through four years. The following Exhibitions are open to Students on entrance-equally divided between Classical and Mathematical studies,-two of 207., four of 157., and eight of 10., and the same sums are awarded as Second and Third Year's Exhibitions. Besides these are the Cloyne Exhibitions in Logic, of 201.; Mental Science, 201.; Greek, 30.; Latin, 30l.; and Irish History, 207.; the Limerick Exhibitions-one Classical, 401.; three Mathematical, of 401., 301., and 207. each; and two for Modern Literature, of 201. each; and the Conolly Exhibitions, of 201. each; in Mathematics, Mathematical Physics, Cosmical Physics, Natural Sciences, and Medicine. This University is now undergoing reorganization to meet the change of circumstances brought about by the recent establishment of the Royal University of Ireland. OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY. Chancellor.-Cardinal E. McCabe. Vice-Chancellor.-The Most Rev. John MacHale, D.D., Archbishop of Tuam. Rector.-Very Rev. Monsignor H. F. Neville, D.D. Secretary and Librarian.-Thomas Scratton, B.A. THE FOLLOWING DIOCESAN SEMINARIES, COLLEGES, AND SCHOOLS ARE ALSO CONNECTED WITH THE UNIVERSITY. These Colleges and Schools are visited at the close of each University Session, in July, by an Examiner specially deputed for the purpose. He examines the Affiliated Students, and at the same time he holds an Entrance Examination. THE UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM. This University was opened in October, 1832, under authority granted by Act of Parliament, and received a Royal Charter on June 1st, 1837, by virtue of which its first Degrees were conferred on June 8th in the same year. In 1841 an Order in Council provided that the Wardenship should be permanently annexed to the Deanery of Durham, that a Canonry in Durham Cathedral should be annexed to each of its Divinity and Greek Professorships, and that other Professorships should be founded in Hebrew and other Oriental languages. The Castle of Durham and its precincts had been previously (Aug. 8th, 1837) granted by the Queen in Council to be held in trust by the Bishop for the benefit of the University, and the College founded within the University was thus provided with a chapel, hall, and convenient rooms for Students. The annual value of the Scholarships and Exhibitions is upwards of £1500. The chief modifications and changes recently made in this University are the following:-The period of residence required for the Degree of B.A. is abridged from three years to two. The period of residence in each year is extended from six months to eight. The period required for the Licence in Theology is two years, in each of which the residence extends over six months. No person is admitted as a Student in Theology until he has attained the age of twenty years. Final examinations are held twice in the year, in June and December. Thus Students in Arts and Theology, who enter in October or January, can pass their final Examination and take their Degree or Licence immediately on the expiry of their two years of residence. In Michaelmas Term, 1870, a regulation was provided that persons should be admissible as Members of the University, without becoming Members of any College, Hall, or House, on condition that they resided in some house or lodging approved by the Warden and Proctors. The average annual expenses of a Student at University College, including those of the University as well as the College, are calculated at 80l. to 851.; at Bishop Hatfield's Hall, at 70l. 10s. to 76l. 16s. for Students in Arts, and at 60l. 10s. 6d. to 75l. 168. 6d. for Students in Theology. The chief expenses of the University may be thus stated: University admission fee, 27.; Tuition and other fees, each Term, 6l.; |
