Randolph, engineer and shipbuilder, 60,000l. has been bequeathed to this University for building purposes, and quite recently a vote of 90,000l. was passed towards the expenses incurred in respect of the new College buildings. At this University annual local examinations are held similar to those at Oxford and Cambridge. VICTORIA UNIVERSITY. MANCHESTER. This University was founded and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1880. The characteristic features of this University are, (1) It will not confer its degrees on Candidates who shall have passed certain examinations only, but will also require attendance on prescribed courses of academical study in a College of the University, and (2) according to the constitution of the University, it contemplates becoming ultimately a federation of Colleges; but these Colleges will not be situated like those of Oxford and Cambridge, in one town, but wherever a College of adequate efficiency, stability, and numbers shall have arisen. In the matter of women's education, according to the charter of this University, power is given to confer and grant all degrees and other distinctions to male and female students alike. Inasmuch, however, as all persons presenting themselves for examination for a degree in the University must have pursued a regular course of study in one of its Colleges, only such women as have pursued the prescribed course of study in the Owens College (at present the only incorporated College of the University) can be examined for a degree. The Court of Governors of the Owens College has already approved in principle a scheme which will enable women to pursue regular courses of study in arts in the Owens College, or in a special women's department organically connected with it. According to the University charter, there is, however, a proviso that the University shall not grant degrees in medicine or surgery, unless and until authority in that behalf is given by a further charter or Act of Parliament. But by a supplementary Royal charter granted in 1883, the University is now empowered to confer degrees in medicine and surgery. Regulations as to the examinations and degrees in medicine and surgery are in course of preparation. MATRICULATION. University Matriculation consists in the placing of the name of a Student upon the Register of Scholars of the University. Every Candidate for matriculation is required to furnish the Registrar with a certificate of his admission as a Student of one of the Colleges of the University, and on payment of the matriculation fee of £2, he signs an undertaking to obey the Regulations of the University. Students can matriculate in June, and in the Michaelmas term of each Academical year, and Students presenting themselves for any of the examinations for degrees of the University, must present certificates of having matriculated.
