At Brasenose, application must be made to the Principal by the parent, guardian, or tutor of the candidate. Testimonials of good conduct covering the last three years are required.

Candidates who pass the University examination in Additional as well as in Stated subjects, or obtain any certificate accepted as equivalent to both examinations, are exempt from any College examination. Those who hold any Higher Certificate issued by the Oxford and Cambridge Joint Board may, at the discretion of the College, be excused any further examination.

For other candidates there is an Entrance Examination, consisting of (a) necessary subjects (which are the same as 'Stated' subjects in Responsions), (b) certain optional subjects. Only those who satisfy in the necessary and in at least one of the optional subjects can be allowed to begin residence before passing Responsions.

Scholars are required to reside in College for twelve, and Commoners for at least eight, Terms from admission. Commoners are occasionally allowed to reside out of College for their first Term.

At Christ Church, applications for admission should be addressed to the Dean by the father or guardian of the candidate; some length of notice, though not requisite for ordinary matriculation, is desirable in the interests of the candidate himself.

The examination is held twice in the year :-(1) On the Thursday and Friday in October before the beginning of full Term, with a view to residence in the January following. (2) On the Thursday and Friday in the third week before the Commemoration, with a view to residence in the October following. Candidates must call on the Dean at 9.30 A.M. on the first of the two days, bringing testimonials of character for the previous two years from their masters or tutors.

The subjects are:-(1) Latin Prose. (2) Latin and Greek Unseen Translations. (3) General English Paper. (4) Translations from Greek and Latin Books. These Books may be selected from the List of the Board of Studies for Responsions, or from books read by the candidate recently at school. Candidates must pass

Responsions or some equivalent Examination as well as the above before coming into residence.

Undergraduates of less than twelve Terms' standing are not allowed to reside out of College except in special cases.

At Corpus, applications should, if possible, be forwarded before February 10, but they are received afterwards, unless the number of applications already received considerably exceed the number of vacancies. A certain number of vacancies may be filled up at the annual Scholarship Examinations. All applications for admission should be addressed officially (i. e. without name) to The President, C.C. C., Oxford; and 'Matriculation' should be written on the envelope.

Residence commences in Michaelmas Term.

The principal Matriculation Examination takes place towards the end of the Easter Vacation, and rooms are provided for the candidates in College. There may also, under special circumstances, be an examination about the middle of June or the beginning of October, or at both these times. But, as all the vacancies are usually filled up at the spring examination, it is desirable that candidates should offer themselves for that examination if possible. Notice of the exact days of examination is always sent to the candidates at least five weeks beforehand. Candidates are also admitted on the Scholarship Examination, the time of which is duly advertised both in the newspapers and by notices sent round to the principal schools.

The subjects of examination for the regular Matriculation Examination are as follows:-(1) Latin Prose Composition. (2) Translation of easy passages of unseen Greek and Latin. (3) An English Essay. (4) Arithmetic, and either Euclid I, II, or Algebra to Simple Equations.

Candidates who have not already obtained a certificate, or statement, exempting them from Responsions, are advised to offer themselves for Responsions, either in March, June, or September, before coming into residence 1.

1 Those who intend to offer themselves for Responsions at any of these times should send a list of their books (the Greek and the Latin author, and the Mathematical subject), with the fee of two guineas, to The Tutor, C. C. C., by February 25, May 25, or September 7, respectively.

Candidates who have obtained a Higher Certificate from the Oxford and Cambridge Schools' Examiners, including a distinction in at least one subject, and also passes in Greek, Latin, and Elementary Mathematics, will be allowed to matriculate without further examination.

Candidates who propose to read for Honours in Mathematics, Natural Science, or Modern History may, if they prefer it, be examined in those subjects, and in so much only of the Classical subjects as is required for Responsions. Such candidates will be excused from the classical part of the examination, if they have passed Responsions or any equivalent examination excusing from Responsions. They are requested to give notice of the subject in which they wish to be examined, in writing, to the President, a month at least before the date of the examination, and to state the books, subjects, or period, which they have especially studied.

Those candidates who have passed Responsions, or any equivalent examination, will be excused the examination in Elementary Mathematics.

All members of the College are expected to read for Honours either in Moderations, or in some one or other of the Final Schools, or in both.

Rooms in College are allotted to the successful candidates in order of merit, but the number of admissions is not limited by the number of vacant rooms. Candidates who have passed on an earlier examination will always have precedence, in the allotment of rooms, over those who pass at a later examination. It is, therefore, advisable, where possible, that candidates should offer themselves at the examination held towards the end of April. It will also be for the convenience both of the College and of the candidates themselves, that they should offer themselves as early as possible for Responsions. Scholars and Exhibitioners reside in College for three years; Commoners usually for a period of eight terms, after which time they may be required to live in lodgings.

At Exeter, candidates for admission should apply to the Rector. Application may be made at any time, but a year's notice is desirable. Residence may commence in any Term.

The examination is held three times a year on the Thursday before the beginning of full Term.

The subjects are the same as those prescribed for Responsions (Stated subjects), with the addition of Unprepared Translation from Greek and Latin.

Weight will be given to any additional books or special subjects in which candidates may desire to be examined. The examination is not competitive.

Any one of the Certificates which exempts the holder from Responsions (p. 130) is accepted in place of the College Examination. Candidates are advised, and may be required as a condition of entrance, to pass Responsions before coming into residence.

Undergraduates, at the request of their parents or guardians, are allowed to reside in lodgings during their whole course. Exemption from residence in College and from certain payments is also granted to such Undergraduates as satisfy the Educational Council of their ability to obtain Honours, and of their inability to meet the ordinary expenses of residence in College. Failing such exemption, they are required to reside in College in their first Term, or so soon as rooms can be provided for them, and to remain in College until the end of their twelfth Term, unless leave to reside out be given. After two years' residence in College Commoners may be required to reside in lodgings.

At Hertford, application should be made to the Principal or Senior Tutor.

Candidates are expected to pass Responsions, or some equivalent examination, before coming into residence. If this is done, no further entrance examination is required.

A Matriculation Examination for such candidates as have not passed Responsions, or some equivalent examination, is held at such times as the College may arrange. The subjects are the same as for Responsions.

No Undergraduates under three years' standing, for whom there is room in College, are allowed to reside in lodgings, unless at the express request of their parents or guardians, or for special reasons to be approved by the College. No Undergraduates are entitled to reside in College for more than three years except by special permission.

At Jesus, application for admission should be made to the Principal, and should be accompanied by a certificate of good conduct, and a copy of register of birth.

Candidates for admission who have not passed Responsions will be required to present a Certificate (which exempts from Responsions) either of the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board, or of the Local Examination Delegates, or a Certificate that they have passed the Previous Examination at Cambridge, or, in default of so doing, they will be required to pass an entrance examination in (1) Latin Prose Composition; (2) Greek and Latin Grammar; (3) Arithmetic; (4) Algebra as far as is required for Responsions, or Euclid, Books I, II; (5) A portion of some Greek and of some Latin author, e. g. Euripides, Hecuba and Medea, and Horace, Odes 1-III, with the Ars Poetica, or equivalents.

Entrance examinations are held at the beginning of each Term. All Undergraduates usually go out of College after twelve Terms' residence: all Freshmen obtain rooms on coming into residence.

At Keble, application for admission should be made to the Warden by the parent or guardian of the candidate, and one testimonial should be sent with the application.

Candidates are recommended to commence residence in the October Term: names can be also entered for the Hilary Term, but only under exceptional circumstances for the Summer Term. They should be entered, if possible, more than six months beforehand.

The examination is held in October for residence in October and in January for residence in January. The subjects are:-(1) Euripides, Hecuba and Alcestis; or Xenophon, Anabasis I-IV. (2) Horace, Odes; or Caesar, De Bello Gallico I-IV. (3) Euclid, Books I, II; or Algebra. (4) Arithmetic. (5) Greek and Latin Grammar. (6) Latin Prose. (7) Easy passages of Greek and Latin, not specially prepared beforehand. The books prescribed under (1) and (2) may be varied with sufficient reason on previous application to the Warden.
