In 1880 the University Court, after communication with the Senate and the General Council, and with the sanction of the Chancellor, instituted a certificate conferring the title of “Literate in Arts." The following are the Regulations for granting this certificate :— 1. The Certificate of Literate in Arts is open to all persons who have been public students in the Faculty of Arts for not less than two Sessions, and who during that time have given attendance at not less than five of the classes included in the course of study for the M.A. Degree. 2. No student is permitted, with a view to the Certificate of Literate in Arts, to reckon attendance on more than two of the classes included in any one of the three departments of the Arts course, i.e., Classical Literature, Mental Philosophy, and Mathematics. 3. The examination for the Certificate may be taken at one, two, or three periods, at the option of the candidate, and either in April or in October; but in no case can the examinations included in any one department be separated from each other. Candidates presenting more than one subject included in one department must pass in both at the same time. 4. The examinations and standard of proficiency required for the said certificate are, in respect of the classes attended, the same as those demanded in the subjects belonging to the same classes for the M.A. Degree; and the examination papers will be the same as those set in the corresponding subjects for that Degree. 5. When all the subjects are taken at one examination the fee is £2 2s.; when the examination is divided, the fee is £1 1s. for the examination in the department first taken, and £1 1s. for that taken next; but no fee paid with a view to the said Certificate shall be accepted as pro tanto payment towards the fee exigible for the M.A. Degree. 6. Not less than three of the five classes constituting the attendance required for the Certificate, and in all cases the last year of the course must have been taken in the University of Glasgow. All the examinations must be passed in this University. 7. The Certificate of Literate in Arts is not open to students whose qualifications for the Certificate are entirely of a date anterior to April, 1880.
