XI. That the sums raised by this tax be collected by the University Bailiff, who will be required to pay the wages of the Constables, and to discharge all other expenses of the Establishment, exhibiting an account of the disbursements, and paying the balance remaining in his hands to the Vice-Chancellor at the end of every quarter, and that the Bailiff be allowed 17. per quarter for his trouble. XII. That the general statement of the receipts and payments for the year be laid before the Delegates of Accounts at their annual audit, and afterwards printed and circulated for the information of Members of Convocation. XIII. That when the general plan and details of the intended Establishment shall have been approved, and the proposed tax shall have been sanctioned by Convocation, a communication be made by the Vice-Chancellor to the Mayor at least twenty-eight days before the time fixed on for the first operation of the measure. XIV. That to provide as much as possible for the permanent efficiency of this Establishment, and to remedy such unforeseen inconveniences and defects as may from time to time arise, a standing Committee be appointed, consisting of the Vice-Chancellor, the four Pro-ViceChancellors, and the Proctors for the time being, of whom five be necessary to constitute a quorum. XV. That the business of such Committee be to meet once at least in every Term, and whenever occasion may require, to examine into the practical effects of the system, to increase or diminish the stipends of the Constables, as may appear expedient; and in short to correct what is wrong, and to supply whatever may be deficient. XVI. That the above plan be carried into effect in the next Michaelmas Term. DEGREES CONFERRED. DOCTORS IN DIVINITY. The Rev.

The Syndics appointed to consider of the arrangements concerning the "Old Court lately purchased of King's College," have reported to the Senate: "That they consider it necessary that provision should be made, not merely for a large increase of the accommodation of the Public Library, but likewise for four additional Lecture Rooms, for Museums of Geology, Mineralogy, Botany, and, if practicable, of Zoology, for a new office for the Registrary, for an additional School for the Professor of Physic, and for other purposes connected with the despatch of the ordinary business of the University:-That they consider the extent of ground, now the property of the University, including the site of the present Library, as amply sufficient for all these objects:-That they consider it expedient to make application to four architects, for complete plans, elevations and estimates, to be forwarded to the Vice-Chancellor, on or before the 1st of November next: and that the Syndicate should be authorised to give the necessary instructions; to offer the sum of 100 guineas to each of the three architects whose plans shall not be adopted; and to make a further report to the Senate before the end of the next term." A grace for the adoption of the above recommendation has passed the Senate. REPORT OF THE PREVIOUS EXAMINATION SYNDICATE. 66 The Syndicate appointed by Grace of the Senate, May 27, 1829, to consider what alterations it is expedient to make in the mode of conducting the Previous Examination," beg leave to recommend to the Senate that the following plan of examination be substituted for that now in force : 1. That the Previous Examination of the Junior Sophs in the Senate-House shall begin on the Monday in the week before the end of the Lent term in each year; and that this examination shall continue throughout that week (with the exception of Friday) and during the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the week following. 2. That the subjects of examination shall be one of the four Gospels or the Acts of the Apostles in the original Greek, Paley's Evidences of Christianity, one of the Greek and one of the Latin Classics. 3. That the appointment of the particular subject in the New Testament, and in regard to the two last-mentioned subjects, the appointment both of the authors and of the portions of their works which it may be expedient to select, shall rest with the Vice-Chancellor for the time being, the three Regii Professors of Divinity, Civil Law, and Physic, the Regius Professor of Greek, and the Public Orator, (proIvided that not more than two of them are members of the same college); upon this clear understanding, that in the exercise of the powers thus to be vested in them they shall so limit the examination, that every one who is to be examined may be reasonably expected to show a competent knowledge of all the subjects. 4. That in case three or more of those to whom the appointment of the subjects of examination has been assigned, shall belong to the same college, deputies for any number exceeding two shall be appointed, every year, by a Grace of the Senate. 5. That every person when examined, shall be required: (1) to translate some portion of each of the subjects appointed as aforesaid; (2) to construe and explain passages of the same; and (3) to answer printed questions relating to the evidences of Christianity. *6. That previously to the commencement of the examination, the Examiners shall prepare an alphabetical list of all the persons to be examined, and divide them into equal portions according to the number of days of examination; and that they shall send a copy of such list to the Prælector of each college, notifying the day on which each of the persons to be examined belonging to that college shall be required to attend the examination. *7. That each of the persons to be examined, shall be required to attend from eight o'clock till eleven in the morning, and from twelve o'clock till three in the afternoon on the day of which he has previously received notice. *8. That the persons to be examined each day shall be formed into two divisions; that each of these divisions shall be examined in the Greek subject by two of the Examiners, and in the Latin subject by the other two during the morning; and that the Greek Testament and Paley's Evidences shall be the subjects of examination in the after noon. 9. That the persons under examination shall be employed in translating the passages, or answering the printed questions proposed, each individual being called upon in turn during the time of examination to construe and explain passages of the appointed subjects. 10. That in general the examination of each individual shall be concluded in one day, and that the result of each day's examination shall be notified as soon as conveniently may be to the Prælector of each college: but if the Examiners shall judge it expedient to examine any person further, in order to ascertain whether he shall be permitted to have a certificate of approval, they shall send notice of the day on which his further attendance will be required. *11. That every Undergraduate shall be required to attend the examination in the year next but one after that in which he commences his residence. 12. That in case any one shall be prevented by illness (a certificate of which shall be submitted to the ViceChancellor and Proctors for the time being, for their approbation), from attending the regular examination of his year, he shall be required to attend the next following examination, and so on; and that, if any one shall absent himself upon any other account from the proper examination of his year, he shall not be allowed the term in which the examination takes place, and shall, moreover, be required to attend the examination of the next year, and so on. 13. That two classes (each of them arranged alphabetically) shall be formed out of those examined-the first consisting of those who have passed their examination with credit-and the second, of those to whom the Examiners have only not refused their certificate of approval. 14. That those who shall not be approved by the Examiners, shall be required to attend the examination of the following year, and so on; and that no degree of B. A. M. B. or B. C. L. shall be granted, unless a certificate be presented to the Caput, shewing that the candi date for such degree has passed, to the satisfaction of the Examiners, some one of these examinations. *15. That public notice of the subjects of examination in each year shall be issued in the first week of the Lent term of the year preceding. 16. That, in every year, at the first congregation after the 10th day of October, the Senate shall elect four Examiners, (who shall be members of the Senate, and appointed by the several Colleges according to the cycle of Proctors and Taxors), to conduct the Examination of the succeeding year. 17. That each of the Examiners shall receive 201. from the University chest. 18. That the foregoing regulations shall not interfere with the composition between the University and King's College. *The regulations which contain deviations from those now in force have an asterisk prefixed. A grace for the adoption of the above recommendation will be offered to the Senate in the ensuing term. |
