The General Council consists of the Chancellor, the Rector, the Principal, and other members of the University Court, the Professors, all Masters of Arts of the University, all Doctors of Medicine of the University, who have, as Matriculated Students of the University, regularly attended classes in any of the Faculties in the University during four complete Sessions, and of all who, within three years of the passing of the Universities (Scotland) Act (Aug. 2, 1858), established that, as Matriculated Students, they had attended the University for four complete Sessions, or for three complete Sessions and a fourth in some other Scottish University—the attendance for at least two of such Sessions having been on classes in the Curriculum of the Faculty of Arts. The Council meets twice a year-viz., on the first Tuesday after the fourteenth day of April, and on the last Friday in October, at One o'clock, "to take into consideration all questions affecting the well-being and prosperity of the University, and to make representations from time to time on such questions, to the University Court, who shall consider the same, and return to the Council their deliverance thereon." "The Council may appoint a Committee or Committees at one meeting to arrange or prepare business for a future meeting, but it cannot delegate any of its functions to a Committee, or act by means of a Committee.” The Chancellor and one of the Assessors in the University Court are elected by the Council. When a poll is demanded, the election is made by means of Voting Letters, issued to the Members, which must be returned within 21 days to the Registrar of the University. All members of Council must be above the age of twenty-one. Their names must be registered in a book kept for the purpose by the Registrar; the registration fee is 5s. They pay an annual fee of 2s. 6d., but all future annual fees may be compounded for at any time by payment of £1. No one can act as a member until he has paid all fees due by him. No Student can be a member. The Chancellor is by statute President of the Council; failing whom, the Rector; failing whom, the Principal; failing whom, the senior Professor present, with a deliberative and also a casting vote. MATRICULATED STUDENTS. Matriculated Students may be members of any of the four Faculties. They have the privilege of electing the Rector of the University. In case of an equality of votes, the Chancellor, or failing him, the Principal, has the casting vote. Students also enjoy the right of admission to the University Library, and on certain days to the Museum of Natural History. Their names are preserved in the General Album, which is the legal register of attendance at the University. Students are subject to the ordinary discipline of the Professors and of the Senatus Academicus. MATRICULATEd Students in SUMMER SESSION, 1867, MATRICULATED STUDENTS IN WINTER SESSION, 1867-68: I.
