higher classes of Latin, Greek, and Mathematics, or any of them, is admitted to such higher class or classes, without having previously attended the first or junior class or classes in the same department or departments; and in the case of students who are, after such examination, admitted to the higher Greek and Latin classes, the course of study for the Degree of Master of Arts may be completed within three winter sessions instead of four.*

The attention of students about to pursue the course of study for the Degree of Master of Arts is called to the following regulations, adopted by the Senate, which will apply to students commencing in Session 1875-76 (or thereafter) the course of study for the Degree:

1. Attendance on the qualifying course of Natural Philosophy for the Degree of M. A. shall be subsequent to the completion of the qualifying course of Mathematics.

2. Two sessions of the lowest class of Humanity, or Greek, or Mathematics, do not constitute two sessions of one of these classes, within the meaning of ordinance No. 14.

3. A student found qualified at the preliminary examination to attend the senior class of Humanity, or Greek, or Mathematics, must attend such senior class in order to qualify for the Degree without more than one session's attendance on such class.

It is strongly recommended that students prepare themselves to attend the upper junior class of Mathematics in the first or second session of their course of study for the degree.

4. In session 1879-80, and thereafter, to qualify for the Arts Degree, the Logic Class and the Moral Philosophy Class must be attended in separate sessions, the Logic Class being taken first.

II. In pursuing the course of study for the Degree of Master of Arts, no student is permitted to pass from the junior to a higher class in any department, unless the Professor is satisfied of his fitness to enter the higher class.

III. Any student who has completed the required attendance on the Latin and Greek classes, may be examined on those subjects at any examination for Degrees, although he has not completed his attendance on the other classes of the prescribed course; and, in like manner, any student who has completed the required attendance on the classes of Logic and Moral Philosophy, and course of English Literature, may be examined on these subjects at any examination for Degrees, although he has not completed his attendance on the other classes of the prescribed course; and, in like manner, any student who has completed the required attendance on the classes of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, may be examined on these subjects at any examination for Degrees, although he has not completed his attendance on the other classes of the prescribed course; and, if such student shall satisfy the Examiners, when so examined in Latin and Greek, or in Logic, Moral Philosophy, and English Literature, or in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, he is entitled to receive from them a certificate to that effect, and he is not again examined on the same subjects, as a condition of his taking the Degree of Master of Arts.
