The General Council consists of the Chancellor, the Members of the University Court, the Professors all for the time being, all Masters of Arts of the University, all persons on whom the University has, after examination, conferred either of the degrees of Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Science, Bachelor of Divinity, Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Medicine, or Bachelor of Science, or any other degree that may hereafter be instituted; and also all persons who shall establish that, previous to 2d August 1861, they had, as Matriculated Students, given regular attendance on the course of study in the University for four complete Sessions, or for three complete Sessions in this, and a fourth in another Scottish University-the attendance for at least two of such Sessions having been on the course of study in the Faculty of Arts. The fee for registration is £1, but each applicant who registered under the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1858, will be entitled to an abatement from such fee, equal to the sum that may already have been paid by him in name of entrance money and annual fees. No person can be a member of Council until he has attained the age of twenty-one years complete. The Register for the current year (a copy of which will be found in the Appendix to the CALENDAR) contains 3614 Members, and is conclusive of the rights of persons to be Members up to 1st January 1872. The Register for 1872 will, in addition to the present Members, contain the names of all persons who shall have their names entered in the Registration Book on or before 30th November 1871, and will in like manner be conclusive of the rights of persons to be Members for the year 1872. The Council meets twice a-year-viz., on the first Tuesday after the fourteenth day of April, and on the last Friday in October, at one o'clock, "to take into their consideration all questions affecting the well-being and prosperity of the University, and to make representations from time to time on such questions to the University Court, who shall consider the same, and return to the Council their deliverance thereon." All proposed improvements in the internal arrangements of the University "shall be submitted to the University Council for their consideration." "The Council may appoint a Committee or Committees at one meeting to arrange or prepare business for a future meeting, but it cannot delegate any of its functions to a Committee, or act by means of a Committee." The Chancellor is by statute President of the Council; and in his absence, the Rector; whom failing, the Principal or Senior Professor present, with a deliberative and also a casting vote. The General Council of this University, and the General Council of the University of St Andrews jointly, return a Mem D ber of Parliament. When a poll is demanded, Members may either Vote personally or by Voting Papers. The Vice-Chancellor of Edinburgh University is the Returning Officer. The Chancellor and one of the Assessors in the University Court are elected by the Council. When a poll is demanded, the election is made by means of Voting Letters, issued by the Registrar to the Members, which must be returned to him within 21 days. The Chancellor holds office for life, and the Assessor for four years from the date of Nomination. The next appointment of an Assessor will take place at the meeting of the General Council in October 1871. Assessors Elected by the General Council. The Rev. KENNETH M. PHIN, D.D., October 1867. Members of General Council are entitled to the use of the University Library on payment of an annual fee of 10s. 6d., or they may compound for such annual fee by a present payment of £5, 5s. MATRICULATED STUDENTS. Matriculated Students may be Members of any of the four Faculties. They have the privilege of electing the Rector of the University. In case of an equality of votes, the Chancellor, or failing him, the Principal, has the casting vote. Students also enjoy the right of admission to the University Library, and on certain days to the Museum of Natural History. Their names are preserved in the General Album, which is the legal register of attendance at the University. Students are subject to the ordinary discipline of the Professors, and of the Senatus Academicus. MATRICULATED STUDENTS IN SUMMER SESSION, 1870: I. Faculty of Arts II. Faculty of Medicine III.
