inclusive annual value is £100. There are also from time to time some Exhibitions in the gift of the College.

At Lincoln there are

(1) At least twelve Foundation Scholarships, which are open without limitation of age, and of which three are awarded at the beginning of every Michaelmas Term, after an examination usually in classical subjects. They are tenable for four years, provided that the holder does not accept any position incompatible with residence in Oxford, and are of the annual inclusive value of £80. A Scholarship may be forfeited (1) by misconduct, (2) by neglect of study, (3) by failing to pass any of the University Examinations at the proper time.

(2) Two Scholarships (the Matthews and the Radford Scholarships), which are open under the same conditions as the preceding, but are of somewhat less value.

(3) One Scholarship (the Tatham Scholarship), in the election to which there is a preference to persons born or educated in Buckinghamshire.

(4) Two Scholarships, of the value of £60, to which the Rector nominates.

(5) Two or three Exhibitions of the value of £30, tenable for three years, are usually offered at the close of the annual Scholarship examination to those candidates who have most distinguished themselves.

At Magdalen there will be in future

(1) Thirty Demyships, of which three or four are usually awarded at the beginning of every Michaelmas Term after an examination in Classics, one or more in Mathematics, and one or more in Natural Science. All the Demyships are open to all persons who have not attained the age of twenty years: they are tenable for five years, provided that the holder does not accept any appointment which will, in the judgment of the electors, interfere with the completion of his University studies; and their inclusive annual value is £95.

a. The examination for the Classical Demyships consists of Greek and Latin composition in prose and verse, translations from Greek and Latin into English, questions in Divinity, Ancient History, and Philology: for such candidates as desire

it, either as an alternative for, or in addition to, the Classical papers, questions are also set in Modern History and Literature, with translations from French and German into English, and vice versa.

B. In the examination for Mathematical Demyships, papers are set in Arithmetic and Algebra, in Pure Geometry, in Trigonometry and the Theory of Equations, and in Analytical Geometry of Two Dimensions. Candidates have also to satisfy the electors of their ability to pass the ordinary Classical Examinations required by the University.

y.

In the examination for Natural Science Demyships, questions are set relating to General Physics, to Chemistry, and to Biology, including Human and Comparative Anatomy and Physiology, with the principles of the classification and distribution of plants and animals; but a clear and exact knowledge of the principles of any one of the above-mentioned sciences will be preferred to a more general and less accurate acquaintance with more than one. The examination in Chemistry and Biology will be partly practical, if necessary. Candidates have also to satisfy the electors of their ability to pass the ordinary Classical Examinations required by the University.

(2) Exhibitions, the number of which is at present uncertain, but of which four will eventually be offered for competition every year. The subjects and time of examination are the same as those for the Demyships, but while the Demyships are simply competitive, the Exhibitions are awarded to persons who fail to obtain Demyships, but are known to need support at the University and to deserve it. Candidates should prove to the satisfaction of the electors that they cannot be supported at College without such assistance; evidence on this point is considered as strictly confidential. Testimonials of good conduct and character are likewise of great importance. As there are usually several candidates who are found to satisfy these conditions to about the same extent, the merit of the candidates as tested by examination necessarily becomes a very material element in deciding the question. Persons who have only very slight pretensions on the ground of attainments are therefore recommended not to incur the trouble and expense of presenting themselves.

(3) Vacancies occur from time to time for an Academical Clerk, whose duties are to take part in the daily Choral Services in the Chapel, which extend over about nine months in the year, and such choir practices as may be appointed. Candidates are required to pass, 1. the ordinary matriculation examination of the College; 2. an examination in Music, i. e. they have to sing a solo of their own selection, and also some pieces selected by the organist. The inclusive annual emolument is about £95. The candidate elected is required to pass at the proper time the several Examinations required by the University for the degree of B.A.

(1) Open Scholarships, which will eventually be twelve in number, and of which two or three are usually awarded every year in Easter Term. They are tenable for five years, and their inclusive annual value is £80. Candidates must be under the age
