The following alterations in the regulations have occurred :

Second B.A.-It has been found requisite in order to prevent the exclusion of Jewish Candidates to retain the former date (the fourth Monday in October) for the commencement of this Examination.

The Preliminary Scientific (M.B.).—The new regulations with regard to practical work at the Pass Examination announced in the University Calen dar for 1877 came into force in 1878.

The First M.B.-Comparative Anatomy is now omitted from the subjects of this Examination, and Histology is specified as a subject of the written (pass) as well as of the practical Examination.

Subjects relating to Public Health.-The programme of this Examination has been revised, with a more detailed indication of its subjects.

Degrees in Music. -The regulations relating to these Degrees now first to be conferred by the University, are given in extenso in the University Calendar for 1878. The Examinations take place in December, and the Degrees conferred are First B. Mus., the fee being 51.; the Second B. Mus., the fee is also 51.; Doctor of Music (D. Mus.), fee 5l.; Second D. Mus., also 57. A Certificate under the seal of the University, and signed by the Chancellor, shall be delivered at the public presentation for Degrees to each Candidate who has passed.

FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE QUESTION AS TO THE OPENING OF THE DOORS OF THE UNIVERSITY TO WOMEN.-At the annual meeting of the Convocation of the University of London, held at the University Building, Burlington Gardens, under the presidency of Dr Storrar, Dr. Carpenter laid on the table the new Supplemental Charter, dated 14th of May, 1878. It appears that Convocation decided to co-operate with the Senate in applying for a supplemental charter enabling the University to grant Degrees in all faculties to women, and to confer such Degrees upon those who might pass the examination, and that charter had now been received. The University of London is the first in Great Britain to open its doors to all comers, irrespective of sex. Another important step taken by the University during the past year is the granting of Degrees in Music. There is a steady increase in the number of candidates who came up at the recent examinations. In the first five years the average was 140 per year, in the second 200, in the third 350, in the fourth 400, in the fifth 700, in the sixth 1,100, in the seventh 1,500, while last year they amounted to no fewer than 2,123. During the year 24 candidates had passed the examination for women-seven in Honours, and in June, 1883, there were upwards of twenty ladies' names in the list of successful candidates, sixteen received the certificate of Bachelor of Arts, and twenty-four took Honours in various subjects.

In reference to the New Charter granted to the University, an address to the Senate and Convocation, signed by 1,960 ladies, was presented to Earl Granville on Feb. 13th, 1878.

SCOTLAND.

INTRODUCTORY.

The four Universities in Scotland are S. Andrew's, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Glasgow, and in the year 1858 they were reorganised and assimilated, and by the University Act of that year provision was made for the better government and discipline of the Universities of Scotland by improving and regulating the course of study therein; and now the four Universities are governed under a nearly uniform constitution, each being now under three internal bodies, called respectively, the General Council of the University, the University Court, and the Senatus Academicus.

The official heads of each University are the Chancellor, chosen for life by the General Council; the Rector, chosen every three years by the Matriculated Students; and the Principal or resident Head of the Univer sity, who is President of the Senatus.

The General Council consists of the Chancellor, who is President of the Council; the Rector, who is President of the University Court; the Principal and Professors and the Graduates of the University. In the absence of the Chancellor, the Rector presides, and failing him, the Senior Professor. The University Court is a court of appeal from the Senatus, and consists of the Rector, Principal, and Assessors. In Edinburgh the Lord Provost of the City and an Assessor nominated by the Town Council are additional members, and a Dean of Faculties is an extra representative of the Senatus in Glasgow. The Senatus Academicus consists of the Principal and Professors, who are entrusted with the control of the teaching and discipline, and, subject to the supervision of the University Court, with the administration of the revenues and property of the University. The four Universities return two members to Parliament, Edinburgh and St. Andrew's being represented by one and Glasgow and Aberdeen by the other.

The annual grant has now been increased to 40,000.

The endowments of each University, which are considerable, are applied in the form of prizes, bursaries, scholarships, and fellowships. Edinburgh and Glasgow possess a great number, and there are many bursaries in Aberdeen University.

The Scholarships and Fellowships are chiefly for those who have passed the examination necessary for the degree of Master of Arts and the following are open to all the Scotch Universities:-1. The Ferguson Scholarships, founded in 1860 by John Ferguson, of Cairnbrock; they are six in number, of the value of 801. each per annum, tenable for two years; three are offered every year. 2. Shaw Fellowship in Mental Philosophy, founded in 1867 in memory of Sir James Shaw, Bart.; it is of the annual value of 1701., and is tenable for five years. The present fellow was elected in 1878. 3. Gunning Theological Scholarship and Fellowship, founded by Dr. Gunning, of Rio de Janeiro, and intended to encourage the study of theology for the ministry of the Church of Scotland, or Free Church, and the study of the natural sciences among Students of Theology. There are three Scholarships of the annual value of 501., 301., and 207. each, tenable for three years. These Scholarships were awarded for the first time in 1880. The Fellowship, of the annual value of 100l., open to Theological Students, will be awarded in 1883.
