EPUB

In the Senior Sophister year a student cannot keep a Term by Lectures in Experimental or Natural Science unless he has, as Junior Sophister, kept at least one Term in those subjects respectively. No such restriction, however, applies to Examinations.

To obtain credit in History, Junior Sophisters must attend the Lectures in Constitutional History and in Economic History, and must pass an examination in the work of the Term.

The arrangements as to all Lectures in subjects by attendance on which Terms may be kept are posted on the Tutors' doors some days before Lectures begin.

Honor Lectures in any subject may be substituted for the Pass Lectures in that subject, in any Term, with the permission of the Lecturer.

Honor Lectures.-Junior Sophisters who have obtained Honors in Classics may substitute the Lectures of the Professors of Greek and Latin for the Ordinary Lectures in Greek and Latin.

Science Honormen may substitute the Lectures of the Professors of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy for the ordinary Lectures in any subject of Group A.

Keeping of Terms by Examination.

In order to get credit for any examination, a Junior Sophister must pass in English Composition and in three subjects, not more than two of which may belong to the same Group.

In the Sophister years the examination in every course except English Composition is usually conducted both by papers and vivâ voce.

Any two of the five languages, Greek, Latin, French, German, Irish, count as one subject.

A Student selecting French or German will be required to write a translation from English into French or German, in addition to answering in the books named in § 25.

Candidates for two Moderatorships who obtain Honors in the subjects of their Moderatorships in the same Term will be given credit for the Pass Examination of that Term, provided that a First Honor be obtained in at least one subject.

Professional Privileges.

Junior Sophisters, not Divinity Students, who are keeping a Term in Arts by Lectures (or by the Examination at the commencement of the following Term), can obtain Professional Privileges by

(a) Attending, during the Term, three-fourths of the Lectures of two of the Professors of Law, and passing the Examination held at the conclusion of those Lectures.

Or,

(b) Attendance at three-fourths of the Professional Lectures of the Engineering School during the Term.

Or,

Or,

(c) Attendance, during the Term, as Candidates for Indian Civil Service, on two full Courses of the Special Lectures provided by the College for such Candidates.

Or,

(d) Attendance, during the Term, as Students in the "Army School," on certain prescribed Courses of instruction. For particulars, see Professional Privileges of Army Students.

(e) Attendance, during the Term, on three-fourths of each of three Courses of Lectures in the School of Agriculture.

But no Professional Privileges are allowed for a second attendance on the same course of Professional Lectures.

24. Junior Sophisters having Professional Privileges. Keeping of Terms by Lectures.

A Junior Sophister having Professional Privileges obtains credit for a Term by attending Lectures in any one of the subjects as arranged for each Term; see § 25.

Keeping of Terms by Examination.

A Junior Sophister having Professional Privileges obtains credit for a Term Examination by passing in English Composition, and in two subjects taken from different Groups; but an Engineering student must not take Experimental Science at the Trinity or Michaelmas Examination, and may take at the same examinations two subjects which belong to the same Group.

For the Arts Course of Medical and Dental Students, see under that heading.

26. Syllabus of the Experimental Science Course. The Course in Experimental Science consists of two Sub-Courses, Experimental Physics and Chemistry, in each of which Candidates are required to answer, and which are as follows:

EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS.

Candidates must understand the theory of, and know how to use, the instruments mentioned. They must understand the principles involved in the measurements and experiments, and be able to make calculations founded on them. Courses are provided in the Physical Laboratory for Students requiring practical instruction in Physical Measurements. They are desired to pay special attention to the principle of the Conservation of Energy, as illustrated in the various branches of Experimental Physics.

HILARY EXAMINATION.

General Properties of Matter:

Measurement of space (length, area, volume), time and mass (vernier, micrometer screw, pendulum, balance).

Characteristics of solids, liquids, and gasez (compression, and shearing strains and stresses).

Measurement of pressure (mercurial and aneroid barometer, liquid manometer).

Measurement of density (specific gravity bottle, hydrostatic balance, hydrometers of variable immersion).

Measurement of compressibility of gases (Boyle's tube).

Heat:

Measurement of temperature (construction of mercurial thermome ters, centigrade and Fahrenheit scales, maximum and minimum thermometers).

Measurement of coefficients of expansion for temperature of solids. liquids, and gases (Roy and Ramsden's method for solids; Dulong's method, and apparent expansion in glass for liquids; air thermometer method for gases).

Maximum density of water (Hope's experiment).
