At each Final Freshman Examination those Students who obtain 40 per cent. and upwards, and whose answering in the several subjects is considered satisfactory by the Senior Lecturer, are distributed into three Classes, the names in each Class being arranged in the order of the percentages obtained. The minimum standards of Classes are:-First Class, 60 per cent.; Second Class, 50 per cent.; Third Class, 40. Of the remaining Candidates, those whose answering is considered by the Senior Lecturer to be sufficient are allowed the Examination, and their names are arranged in alphabetical order as Unclassed Candidates.

The Jellett Prizes for General Answering, value £5 and £3 respectively, are awarded on the result of this Examination (see "Jellett Prizes").

The award of the Senior Exhibitions depends partly on the marks obtained at this Examination (see "Senior Exhibitions ").

21. Privileges of Students in the Freshman Years.

(a) Any Student who shall have obtained 30 per cent. in Mathematics, in English Composition, in Latin, and in Greek or French or German, at the Junior Exhibition Examination, will be allowed in the two Freshman years to keep a Term by Lectures (on the written recommendation of the Lecturer) if he attends with diligence a course or courses of Honor Lectures, consisting of not less than five Lectures weekly; and if he obtains an Honor in any subject, he will be allowed credit for a Term by Examination, except for the Final Freshman Examination.

Such Students who desire to obtain credit for a Term by attendance at Classical Honor Lectures will be required to attend the Tutorial Honor Lectures and the Honor Lectures in Classical Composition.

(b) A special Arts Course has been arranged for Medical and Dental Students. See Arts Course of Medical and Dental

Students."

(c) Junior Class Engineering Students may substitute the Mathematical Lectures of the Engineering School for the Ordinary Science Lectures of the Junior Freshman or of the Senior Freshman Year.

22.

Junior Sophister Year.

In the Junior Sophister Year the subjects for Lectures and Examinations are divided into Groups A, B, C, D, E ; see § 25. Keeping of Terms by Lectures.

A student without Professional Privileges obtains credit for a Term by attending courses of Lectures in two subjects which must be chosen from different groups.

The subjects on which Lectures are delivered each Term are given in § 25.

Each of the five languages, Greek, Latin, French, German, Irish, is represented by one half-course of Lectures, and attendance on two half-courses is necessary to keep the Term in Languages.

To obtain credit in Experimental Science, Junior Sophisters must attend the Lectures in Experimental Physics and those in Inorganic Chemistry, as well as Laboratory Instruction, for which last a fee of one guinea must be paid to the Junior Bursar for each Term. The Term in Experimental Science cannot be kept by attendance on Lectures during Trinity Term.

On December 5, 1903, the Board resolved that, for the future, Students in Arts may attend the Lectures in Chemistry without payment for the same, but shall pay a fee of one guinea per Term for Laboratory Practice and Instruction, being liable, in addition, to pay for breakages; and that persons not on the College Books, if admitted by the Board, shall pay two and a half guineas per Term for Lectures and Laboratory Practice and Instruction.

In the Senior Sophister year a student cannot keep a Term by Lectures in Experimental or Natural Science unless he has, as a 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

viva 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.

23.

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,

(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,

Or,

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

(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.
