This Examination shall take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the week following the Examination for Honours in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy; in the Morning from Ten to One, and in the Afternoon from Three to Six. In determining the relative position of Candidates, the Examiners shall also have regard to the proficiency in Classics, History, and Geography, evinced by the Candidates at the Matriculation Examination. The Examiners shall publish in the course of the following week a list of the Candidates who acquit themselves to their satisfaction, in the order of proficiency; and Candidates shall be bracketed together, unless the Examiners are of opinion that there is a clear difference between them. Candidates for Honours in NATURAL HISTORY shall be examined in one or both of the following subjects: BOTANY. ZOOLOGY. The Examination for Honours in CHEMISTRY shall take place on the Friday in the week following the Pass Examination, in the Morning from Ten to One; and the Examination in Natural History, on the same day, in the Afternoon from Three to Six. Such Candidates for Honours in Chemistry and in Natural History as acquit themselves to the satisfaction of the Examiners, shall be arranged in the order of proficiency in each subject. If in the opinion of the Examiners any Candidate shall possess sufficient merit, the Candidate who shall distinguish himself the most in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, and the Candidate who shall distinguish himself the most in Classics, shall each receive an Exhibition of Thirty Pounds per annum for the next Two Years, if continuing during that period Students at one of the Institutions in connection with this University. Under the same circumstances, the Candidate who shall distinguish himself the most in Chemistry, and the Candidate who shall distinguish himself the most in either branch of Natural History, shall each receive a Prize of Books to the value of Five Pounds. BACHELOR OF ARTS. The Examination for the Degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS shall take place once a year, and commence on the fourth Monday in October. No Candidate shall be admitted to this Examination unless he have produced Certificates from the authorities of one of the Institutions in connection with this University, to the following effect: 1. Of having been a Student during Two Years at one of such Institutions. 2. And of Good Conduct, so far as their opportunities of knowledge have extended. These Certificates shall be transmitted to the Registrar at least fourteen days before the Examination begins. No Candidate shall be admitted to the Examination for the Degree of B.A. within two academical years of the time of his passing the Matriculation Examination. The Fee for the Degree of B.A. shall be Ten Pounds. No Candidate shall be admitted to the Examination unless he have previously paid this Fee to the Registrar; and if he fail to pass the Examination, the Fee shall be returned to him. The Examination shall be conducted by means of Printed Papers; but the Examiners shall not be precluded from putting any vivá voce questions upon the written answers of the Candidates, when they appear to require explanation. Candidates for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts shall be examined in the following subjects: MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL PHILOSOPHY. ARITHMETIC AND ALGEBRA. The ordinary rules of Arithmetic.
