THE HARE PRIZE.

The friends of the late Julius Charles Hare, M.A., Archdeacon of Lewes, and formerly Fellow of Trinity College, being desirous of testifying their admiration of his character, and the high sense they entertained of his services to learning and religion, raised a fund amounting to £500, 3 per cent. Consols, which was accepted by the University on March 7, 1861, for founding a prize to be called the Hare Prize.

The following are the regulations for the prize :

The prize is to be given once in every four years, in the form of a sum of money, representing the interest of the aforesaid £500 which shall have accrued during the four years preceding.

The prize is to be awarded to the author of the best English dissertation on some subject taken from ancient Greek or Roman History, political or literary, or from the History of Greek or Roman Philosophy.

The notice of the subject of the dissertation shall be given out in the Easter Term of the year preceding that in which the prize is to be adjudged; and that the exercises be sent in before the division of the Easter Term succeeding..

The candidates for the prize must be actual members of the University, and graduates of not more than ten years' standing from admission to the first degree, at the time when the exercises are directed to be sent in.

The subject of the dissertation is to be selected, and the prize adjudged, by the Vice-Chancellor, assisted by two examiners, who shall be nominated during the Lent term by the Vice-Chancellor, the Greek Professor, the Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Public Orator, and approved by the Senate before the end of that term.

The dissertation is required to be printed at the expense of the successful candidate, and a copy to be sent to each of the following persons :-the Vice-Chancellor, the Master of Trinity, the Greek Professor, the Professor of Moral Philosophy, the Public Orator, and the two Examiners.

THE KAYE PRIZE.

The committee of the subscribers to the memorial of the late Bishop Kaye, at Lincoln, offered to the University £500, 3 per cent. Consols, for founding a prize, to be called the Kaye Prize, to be given every fourth year to a graduate of not more than ten years' standing from his first degree, who shall write the best English dissertation upon some subject or question relating to ancient Ecclesiastical History, or to the Canon of Scripture, or important points of Biblical Criticism. The offer was accepted by the University on June 6, 1861; and it was ordered that the prize shall consist of the accumulation of interest on the capital sum during the four years preceding, and the successful candidate shall print and publish his dissertation at his own expense, and send ten copies to the Cathedral Library at Lincoln, and one copy to the Vice-Chancellor, the Regius Professor of Divinity, and each of the two Examiners.

The subject is to be given out in December, and the exercises sent in on or before October 31 next following.

The adjudicators of the prize are two persons nominated by the Regius Professor of Divinity, and approved by the Senate.

The following subject has been proposed for this prize :— 1862. The genuineness of the Book of Daniel.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS.

Every person desirous of becoming a student of the University of Cambridge must enter his name either on the boards of some college, or of some hostel.

A student may come into residence on the same day his name is received and entered on the boards, there being now no regulations requiring the name of a student to be entered on the boards of a college one term at least before commencing residence. On admission to any college or hostel, the caution money required to be paid into the hands of the tutor is £50 for a nobleman, £25 for a fellow-commoner, £15 for a pensioner, and £10 for a sizar. This caution money remains in the hands of the tutor, and is not returned until the student removes his name from the boards. There is no

College or University examination to be passed before admission to residence, except at Trinity College; but a certificate, signed by a Master of Arts, is required for every candidate for admission, that he possesses a competent knowledge of the elements of the Latin and Greek languages, and of the principles of Arithmetic, Geometry, and Algebra. Some colleges require, in addition to the certificate of competent knowledge, a certificate of good moral character; and others also a certificate of baptism.*

MATRICULATION.

The matriculation of students who commence residence in the University in October takes place in the Senate House on the day after the division of the Michaelmas Term. Each student writes his name in the University register, and thereby engages to observe the statutes, and obey the authorities of the University. The fees on matriculation, paid to the University, are £15 10s. for a nobleman, £10 10s. for a

* The following is the form of the certificate for the admission of a student at Trinity College :

I have examined

in Greek and Latin translation (prose and verse), and in Mathematics, and consider him qualified to be admitted a

of Trinity College, Cambridge.

The christian names and surname of the student is to be written in full, and the father's name and address; and the certificate is to be signed by a Master of Arts of Trinity College, or of some other college of the University of Cambridge.

fellow-commoner, £5 for a pensioner, and 15s. for a sizar. Those students who do not commencé residence at the usual time are matriculated on the day after the division of the Lent Term, or the Easter Term. There is no examination required of students previous to their matriculation as members of the University.

THE PREVIOUS EXAMINATION.

This examination is so called as it is required to be passed by all students before they can proceed to the examinations for the degrees of B.A., LL.B., and M.B., and is the first University examination which a student is required to attend.

It is held during the last two weeks of the Lent Term, every year, and there is a second examination on the same subjects commencing on the second Monday in the following Michaelmas Term.

The fixed subjects of the Previous Examination are Paley's "Evidences of Christianity;" Arithmetic and the first three books of Euclid's Elements.*

The changeable subjects are one of the four gospels in Greek, a subject from one of the Greek Classics, and a subject from one of the Latin Classics, which are published in the first week of the Lent Term of the year preceding the examination in these subjects.

The examination in the Evidences, Euclid, and Arithmetic, is conducted entirely by printed papers. In regard to the examination in the Greek Testament and the Classical subjects, every student, when examined, is required—(1) to

*The Old Testament History, in 1843, was appointed, by Grace of the Senate, to be one of the permanent subjects of the Previous Examination; but, since 1856, it has been discontinued. It is, however, considered desirable by some men here, whose opinion is worthy of attention, that the Old Testament History should be restored as one of the permanent subjects of the Previous Examination.

The Gospel of St. Matthew in Greek, Herodotus, Book VIII., and Virgil's Eclogues, IV. to X. inclusive, were the classical subjects of examination for the year 1862.

translate some portion of each subject; (2) to construe and explain passages of the same; and (3) to answer, both in writing and vivê voce, such plain questions in Grammar, Geography, and History, particularly the Old Testament History, as may arise immediately out of the subjects.

There are additional subjects of examination in Mathematics for all students who may become candidates for honours in Mathematics, Classics, Law, Moral Science, or Natural Science.

These additional subjects comprise the fourth and sixth Books of Euclid, Elementary Algebra, including ratio and proportion, with equations of a degree not higher than the second, involving one or two unknown quantities, and questions producing such equations; and Elementary Mechanics, treated so as not necessarily to require a knowledge of Trigonometry, viz., the composition and resolution of forces acting in one plane on a point, the mechanical powers, and the properties of the centre of gravity.

The examination in the additional subjects is conducted by printed papers, containing questions in Algebra, propositions in Euclid, and in Mechanics; and such questions and applications as arise directly out of the said propositions.

By a recent regulation of the Senate, students can be admitted to the Previous Examination when they have kept two terms at least; but such students are required to satisfy the examiners, both in the additional subjects required of candidates for honours, and in the ordinary subjects of the Previous Examination.

Every student who has not passed the Previous Examination before the Lent Term of his second year of residence, if he absent himself from the Previous Examination, which is held in that term, without written permission from the ViceChancellor and the Proctors, that term is not to be allowed for his degree.

Every student, before admission to his first attendance at the Previous Examination, pays a fee of £2 10s. to the University.

Every student must show a competent knowledge of every
