Printed forms, in which candidates are to make application, may be obtained from the Secretary at the University, in the end of March. Candidates must fill up and return these forms before the 20th April, forwarding the fees at the same time. Serious inconvenience is caused when applications are received after the date mentioned.

This Committee must guarantee the appearance of at least six Candidates, or a sum equivalent to their fees. 3. Any expenses incident to the Examination in each Local Centre (but not including fees to Examiners) must be borne by the Local Committee. The Secretary of the Local Committee will receive from the Candidates belonging to the district their forms of application, duly filled up, and their fees, and will transmit them on the 21st April to the Secretary at the University. CERTIFICATES.-The Certificates granted by the Board are of four grades, viz.: I. Junior, 11. Senior, III. Higher, for both boys and girls. IV. Certificate in Degree Subjects, for women. They are signed by the Vice-Chancellor of the University, and specify in each case the subjects in which the Candidate has passed. The following privileges are attached to the Junior and Senior Certificate-1. Students proposing to enter the Faculty of Arts in the University are required to pass an Entrance Examination (see p. 108), but the holders of Junior or Senior Certificates are exempted from examination in the subjects comprised in their certificates. 2. Students proposing to enter on the study of medicine in the University are required to pass a Preliminary Examination in General Education, but the holders of Senior Certificates are exempted from examination in the subjects comprised in their Certificates. 3. The Senior Certificate— provided that it comprises one or more of the following subjects, viz., Latin, Greek, French, German-is accepted as qualifying for admission to Girton College, Cambridge. The subjects of Examination, proficiency in which gives a right to a Certificate, are divided into five groups : (a) Common Subjects. (b) Special Subjects for the Junior Certificate. (d) Special Subjects for the Higher Certificate. (e) The Subjects required for the Degrees of M.A. and B.Sc. Candidates for the Junior Certificate must pass in all the subjects of Group (a), and in a selection from Group (b); for the Senior in all the subjects of Group (a), and in a selection from Group (c); for the Higher in a selection from Group (d); and for the Certificate in Degree Subjects candidates must pass in a selection from Group (e).

The names of those who pass in the Common Subjects are registered, but no Certificate is issued till the Candidates have also passed in the Special Subjects. Candidates for Junior, Senior, or Higher Certificates may also present themselves for Examination in Drawing and Music, and their proficiency in these EXTRA SUBJECTS will be recorded in the Certificate, but the numerical values obtained will not be reckoned in any competition. The Time Tables should be consulted by Candidates in selecting their lines of study, so as to avoid, as far as possible, the inconvenience to themselves consequent upon choosing subjects arranged for consecutive hours. Group (a) comprehends:-1. English; 2. History; 3. Geography; 4. Arithmetic; 5. Scripture History; 6. Latin. [N.B.-Girls are not required to take Latin].

If the Candidate has taken the Senior Certificate in the Local Examinations of any University, or if she has attained the age of 18 years and passed in the subjects included under group (a) or an equivalent examination, she may offer herself for examination in at least three and not more than six subjects taken from at least three of the departments. If the Candidate has attained the age of 18 years, but has not passed the examination specified above, she may offer herself for examination in Department A, and, in addition, in at least three and not more than five subjects taken from at least two of the remaining departments, provided always that one of these additional subjects shall be Mathematics or taken from Department B. No girl under the age of 18 is admitted to the examination for the Higher Certificate unless she holds a Senior Certificate. The subjects in Group (e) are also arranged in five departments, viz. :Department A-English Language and Literature. Department B—1. Latin; 2. Greek. Department C-1. Mathematics; 2. Natural Philosophy. Department D-1. Psychology, Logic, and Metaphysics; 2. Moral Philosophy. Department E-1. Chemistry; 2. Botany; 3. Geology; 4. Zoology; 5. Physiology; 6. Anatomy. Candidates are required to select at least fire of these subjects from at least three departments. They have it in their option to complete their examination in all the subjects in one year or to distribute them over a period not exceeding three years. The successful candidates for the Junior Certificate are ranked in two Divisions, the first including those who pass in three or more than three special subjects; the second, those who pass in only two special subjects. The candidates in each Division are ranked in two Classes. In determining the order of merit, the aggregate of the marks gained in the several subjects is taken; but in the case of candidates who take more than three special subjects, no marks are given for such additional subjects unless the candidate has gained more than 40 per cent. of the attainable marks; and the marks added from such additional subjects are the aggregate marks gained, minus the 40 per cent. Those who obtain Senior Certificates are classified in like manner, with a like deduction in the case of candidates who take more than three special subjects. Those who obtain Higher Certificates are classified in a similar manner, but the deduction in the case of candidates who take more than three subjects is 50 per cent. An Honour List is published containing the names of those Candidates who obtain 75 per cent. and upwards in each of two or more subjects taken from Groups (b), (c), (d), (e). No certificate is granted if the subjects in which the candidate has passed belong to only one department. In the Higher Examination a candidate, in order to obtain a certificate, must pass in subjects taken from at least three departments. The Certificate in Degree Subjects is not granted until the candidate has passed in five subjects taken from at least three departments. Candidates for the Junior Certificate are required to pay a fee of 20s. No additional fee is payable if the candidate take the Common Subjects at one examination and the Special Subjects for the Junior Certificate at another. Candidates for the Senior Certificate holding a Junior Certificate of Glasgow University, or of any University whose Certificates may be recognised by the board, are required to pay a fee of 20s. Candidates who do not hold such a Certificate are required to pay 30s. Candidates who take the Common Subjects at one examination, and the Special Subjects for the Senior Certificate at another, are required to pay a fee of 20s. for each examination. Candidates for the Higher Certificate who hold a Senior Certificate or who have passed in the subjects included under Group (a) are required to pay a fee of Two Guineas. Other Candidates are required to pay Three Guineas. Candidates for the Certificate in Degree Subjects are required to pay a fee of Three Guineas. Any holder of a Certificate may, on payment of a fee of ten shillings, be admitted to examination in one or more additional subjects, with the view of adding to the value of the Certificate previously obtained. Candidates who have not been successful may re-appear for examination on the following terms : 1. Any candidate who has failed in only one of the Common Subjects i.e., Group (a), shall, on application in a subsequent year, be admitted to examination in that subject without payment of additional fee, and without requiring to undergo examination again in the subjects already passed. 2.

Any candidate who has failed in more than one of the Special Subjects, but who has passed in such subject or subjects as, with the addition of one of those in which the candidate failed, would have sufficed for a certificate, shall, on application in a subsequent year, be admitted to examination in that subject without additional fee, and to examination in any other subject or subjects on payment of a fee of ten shillings. 5.
