The Professor is to be chosen on the last day of Easter Term, and his two years are to commence from the next following feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, (Sept. 8.). When the Lectureship becomes vacant, the same person may be re-elected, but this ceremony is generally dispensed with, and the Professor continues in his office as before. When, however, an election does occur, the electors are, the Chancellor, or Vice-Chancellor, Doctors, Inceptors, and Bachelors in Divinity, who have been Regents in Arts. Lady Margaret's stipend was 20 marks per annum. Augmented by James I. with the rectorial tithes of Terrington, Norfolk. The Lady Margaret's Professor having delivered a course of Lectures on the Apostolical Fathers and Justin Martyr, in the Michaelmas Term 1840, proposes to continue them on the Fathers next in succession according to their order, in the present Lent Term 1841. REGIUS PROFESSOR OF DIVINITY. THE electors are, the Vice-Chancellor, the Master, and the two Senior Fellows of Trinity, the Provost of King's, and the Masters of St. John's and Christ's colleges.

THE Queen's Professor of the Civil Law, wishing that the system which he has always endeavoured to maintain should be more generally known, and that Persons desirous of proceeding in his Faculty should more accurately understand the course of study they are required to pursue, calls the attention of Students to the following regulations. 1. The Lectures in the Civil Law commence in the Michaelmas Term, and are continued during the Lent and Easter Terms: -and it has always been the wish of the Professor that all persons desiring to proceed in his faculty should begin to attend his Lectures at the commencement of the course in their second year1. It is essential that all candidates for the first class should commence their studies at that time. 2. According to a Statute of the University, no student can be presented to the degree of Bachelor in the Civil Law without a certificate from the Professor that he has attended his Lectures for the space of three terms: and as the Course commences in Michaelmas Term, the Professor has always required such terms to be Michaelmas, Lent, and Easter consecutively. If any person be prevented from beginning his attendance on the Lectures in the Michaelmas Term of his second year, the Professor still recommends him to attend during the other terms, as such Lectures (though they cannot form part of the course) will be allowed to supply any unavoidable deficiency in the succeeding year. 3. All persons desirous of being candidates for the first class must (unless under very peculiar circumstances) pass their first two examinations in the Easter Term immediately following the Lent Term in which they have passed the (University) Previous Examination. 4. Candidates for the first class are expected to be prepared in the whole of the Analysis of the Civil Law; and every Student is expected to pass a satisfactory examination in the whole of the first book of the Analysis, Chapters 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 21 of the second book, and Chapter 10 of the third book1. Translations from Latin into English and from English into Latin form part of every examination. 5. No student can be considered as qualified for the fir t class, unless he has passed the examinations required of every student in such a manner as to entitle him to that privilege. 6. Any student who has not passed an examination in a satisfactory manner will be re-examined in a subsequent term. 7. No person who has been re-examined can be placed in the first class. 8. No student (unless under peculiar circumstances) can be allowed to attend more than three examinations in any one term. 9. The Act is not kept till the student has, in some previous terms, passed all the necessary examinations in the subjects of the Lectures. And during the term in which the Act is to be kept, there is an examination in Logic and in the subjects of the Responsio. The Lectures are read in the College Hall of Trinity Hall, and the usual hour is from ten to eleven in the morning. The terms of attendance are five guineas for the first course, afterwards gratis. The 1plan of these lectures may be seen in a work, entitled, " An Analysis of the Roman Civil Law," in which a comparison is occasionally made between the Roman Laws and those of England, by Samuel Hallifax, late Lord Bishop of St Asaph, and formerly King's Professor of the Civil Law in this University, of which Dr Geldart published a new edition with alterations and additions, in 1836.
