3. Periodical examinations are held in each class, and a general examination of the students is held in the month of June, on the results of which prizes are awarded at a public meeting held in the College on the last day of the Session.

Each student is expected to provide himself with a College Calendar, in order that he may make himself familiar with the rules of the College, with the class arrangements, and with the regulations affecting the several Scholarships and Exhibitions founded in connection with the College.

Library Regulations.

1. The use of the Library for the reading and borrowing of books is open to all day students of the College heretofore admitted; and as to all hereafter to be admitted on payment of the Library fee of 58., to be paid on admission during the following hours :-Daily, from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on Saturdays, when the Library will be open from 9.30 a.m.

to 1 p.m.

2. The use of the Library for the reading of books is open to all evening students of the College who shall have paid the Library fee of 2s. 6d., on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 6.30 to 9 p.m., until the termination of the Regular Evening Courses; and on Monday and Wednesday, from 6.30 to 9 p.m., during the continuance of Supplementary Evening Courses (if any).

4. The Library is closed to readers during the College vacations, and on incidental College holidays. A fortnight will be allowed for the retention of books thus taker ont.

5. The Reading-room being a place for study only, conversation of any kind is strictly forbidden. The strictest silence and discipline must be observed. Students are to sit at the tables, and not to stand about in any part of the room. The Librarian has orders to report any violation of this rule to the Principal, who will, if necessary, apply Rule 3 in consequence.

A classified catalogue of the books bequeathed to the College by the late Bishop Lee has been printed, and may be obtained at the College, at the price of 2s. 6d. A catalogue, in M.S., of the whole collection of books is placed in the Library.

RESIDENCE OF STUDENTS.

The College has no accommodation for boarders. Hall licensed for sidence of students (in pursuance of bye-laws adopted by the Court of Governors, April 10, 1877):-The Friends' Hall, Lloyd Street, Greenhays. Principal, Theodore Neild, Esq., B.A. Some of the Professors and other Officers of the College receive students to board with them.

GYMNASIUM.

Instructor, Staff-Sergeant George Causland, late Instructor in the Army Gymnasium, Portland.

The Gymnasium has been very completely fitted with apparatus on the System of Mr. Maclaren, Director of the University Gymnasium, Oxford. The course of instruction is that set forth in Mr. Maclaren's "Physical

'Associates and students who are Graduates or Undergraduates of any University are invited to wear their proper academical dress at all Public College Meetings.

Education," and the exercises are carefully graduated according to the ages and the physical powers of the students.

COURSES OF STUDY.

The Courses of Study are primarily arranged to suit the requirements of the Victoria University for the Ordinary and Honours Degrees in Arts and Science, but many of the classes are likewise suited to students who are preparing for the examinations of the University of London.

The classes are also open to students who do not propose to graduate in any University.

The courses correspond respectively to the Preliminary, Intermediate, and Final Examinations of the University for Ordinary Degrees in Arts and Science, and certificates of attendance on them must be furnished by candidates on presenting themselves for these Examinations, except that candidates who offer themselves for the Preliminary Examination at the date of their matriculation are not required to present certificates of attendance on the first year's course.

FEES.

Every student is required to pay on admission an entrance fee of £1 18. and a Library fee of 5s. (except as provided below), and the fees for the classes for which he enters. As so many alternative courses are open to the student offering himself for the Victoria University Examinations, it is not practicable to give tabular statements of the fees for every combination of classes. The class fees are severally stated in the following syllabus of the classes. Each fee, when not otherwise stated, is for the full session, or for the full course. Students who in a previous session paid a composition fee for the regular course in Arts or Engineering will be allowed to complete their courses in the corresponding classes of this session on the old scale of composition, subject to such changes in the courses as have been found necessary.

Students desiring to attend not more than two courses of lectures may, if they prefer it, pay. in lieu of the admission fee, a sessional fee of 7s. for each class attended.

COLLEGE COURSES IN ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY.

(Special prospectuses are issued for each course, and may be obtained on application at the office of the College.)

ENGINEERING COURSE.

Successful attendance on this course will furnish a thorough scientific groundwork for the attainment of the knowledge requisite for the prosecution of the higher branches of the Engineering Profession, but it is not intended to supersede the practical training which can only be obtained in the office of a civil, or the workshop of a mechanical, engineer.

In addition to the subjects specified in the course, students are recommended to attend, as time will allow, the following classes :-Chemistry, Mineralogy, and a Modern Language.

The Statutes and Regulations relating to Examinations and Degrees in Victoria University will be found in the foregoing account of that University.

First Year.-Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics or Experimental Mechanics, Engineering (Surveying and Estimating), Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing, Geology or Physics.*

Second Year.-Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Engineering (Applied Mechanics), Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing.

Third Year.-Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics or Senior Physics, Engineering (third year's course), Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing.

N.B.-A Class for Practical Surveying is held, which students are recommended to attend in their first and second years. The fee is £2 12s. 6d.

Certificates in Engineering will be granted by the College on the successful completion of the Engineering Course. The Examinations for Certificates will include the following subjects:-Mathematics (pure and applied), Geology or Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Drawing, and Surveying. Attendance on the full course of three years is expected of candidates for the certificate, but students may obtain exemption (on cause shown) from either the first or the second year's course; students so excused will nevertheless be required to undergo examination in all the subjects specified.

In the subjects of Geology, Physics, and Chemistry, a candidate who shall have been placed in a class not lower than the second in the Annual Examinations of the year in which he shall have studied such subjects will be held to have satisfied the Examiners; but in the other subjects candidates will be required to satisfy the Examiners at the completion of their course.

The certificate will state in which subjects the candidate has gained Honours, and in which he has merely satisfied the Examiners.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY COURSE.

The complete course of instruction extends over four years, and embraces the following subjects:

First Year.-Chemistry Lectures, Junior and Tutorial classes; Chemical Laboratory, two days per week, and Analytical Chemistry Lectures class; Pure Mathematics, Section L.; Experimental Mechanics or Geology; French or German ;† Mechanical Drawing, Practical (evening class).
