7. The first payment of an Exhibition is made at the end of the first quarter after the Exhibitioner has joined Trinity College.

8. Exhibitioners must reside in College, unless expressly exempted by the Provost.

9. No person shall be disqualified for nomination to an Exhibition by reason of his holding any Exhibition or Scholarship in South Africa.

Exhibition awarded to Graduates in Medicine of

Melbourne University.

By order of the Board of Trinity College, Dublin (dated 20th April, 1918), the University of Melbourne is entitled to nominate one of its medical graduates to an exhibition of £100, with rooms, rent free for six months, in Trinity College, intended to defray, in part, the expenses incurred in obtaining the Diploma in Gynecology and Obstetrics granted by the University of Dublin. This regulation will hold for one such graduate in each of the five years beginning October, 1918.

The Regulations for the Diploma and the fees payable in connexion with it are given under that heading.

During, or at the end of, his course of instruction the exhibitioner is eligible for election to the post of External Maternity Assistant at the Rotunda Hospital, and, at the end of his course, for the post of Assistant Master.

The fee in Trinity College entitles the exhibitioner to all privileges enjoyed by students of the University, including attendance on lectures in the Arts Faculty, and enables him to join any College Society.

[The books recommended by the Mathematical Committee are printed on a separate leaflet.

Credit will be given for style and neat arrangement of answers.

Candidates are expected to bring into the hall books of tables and Mathematical instruments. A practical paper will be set in each Freshman Term.
