Two Gold Medals are offered by the Governors of the College, for regularity of attendance at lectures and examinations, and at chapel, and good conduct during three years-to be certified by the Warden, the Chaplain, and Professors.

GENERAL LITERATURE AND ARTS.

JUNIOR DEPARTMENT.

The Council of Queen's College, observing with much satisfaction that the Collegiate system has been introduced into the Senior Department of Medicine and Surgery with success, and that the same system has been brought into full operation, and is found likely to succeed in all respects in the Junior Department, and has been favoured with much public notice and approval, and as her Majesty's warrant has been granted for the admission of the Students to degrees in Arts and Law, as well as in Medicine, in the University of London, the time seems fully to have arrived when the Council of Queen's College may throw open the benefits of the Junior Department of Queen's College to the sons and wards of gentlemen residing in Bir-. mingham and its vicinity and elsewhere, extending and adapting the system now pursued with reference more immediately to Medicine, to the purposes of General Education.
