DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS.

From the Regulations of the Faculty.

No student shall be recommended for the degree of Bachelor of Arts until he has attained the minimum mark in each of the prescribed studies of the College course and of the prescribed number of elective studies, and has moreover obtained at least one half of the total maximum mark for the whole course from the time of his admission.†

Any student who has not complied with the requisitions for a degree before the end of his College course may be recommended for a degree in any subsequent year, when he shall have made up all conditions standing against him, and shall have passed all examinations which the Faculty may have required of him on account of his failure to obtain one half of the maximum mark for the whole course. Any such candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts may attend the exercises in any department of instruction in the College on payment of such fees as are required by the Corporation.

Persons recommended for the degree of Bachelor of Arts shall be divided into two classes, those recommended for an ordinary degree, and those recommended for a degree with distinction. Those only shall be recommended for a degree with distinction whose scholarship for the whole College course entitles them to a part at Commencement. This distinction shall be indicated in the diploma by the words cum laude.

Honors of two grades shall be awarded for special proficiency in any of the following departments: Ancient Languages; Classics; Modern Languages; Philosophy; History; Mathematics; Physics; Chemistry; Natural History. The requisitions for Honors shall be announced by the Faculty from time to time, at least two years' notice being given to each class. The department in which Honors are awarded, as well as the grade of the Honors, shall be stated in the diploma.

• The minimum mark in a prescribed study is one-third of the maximum mark; in an elective study, two-fifths.

↑ Members of the Junior and Senior Classes of the year 1874-75 will be required to obtain one-half of the maximum mark for the remainder of their course, beginning with the academic year 1873-74, as a condition of being recommended for a degree.

A part at Commencement is assigned to any student who attains eighty hundredths of the maximum mark for the whole College course, or eighty-seven hundredths of the maximum mark for the Junior and Senior years combined.

HONORS.

SECOND-YEAR HONORS IN THE CLASSICS AND IN MATHEMATICS.

These Honors are open to Sophomores and Juniors, and to Seniors who intend to be candidates for Final Honors in some year after graduation; they are not open to Freshmen, except by special vote of the Faculty. They are awarded by the Faculty, on the recommendation of a special committee of examiners. The special examinations will be held toward the end of the academic year.

I. Classics. Second-Year Honors are awarded in the Classics on two conditions. The first condition is excellence in the classical work of the Freshman year, and in the work of any two classical courses of the Sophomore or Junior year. The second condition consists in passing with distinction a special examination: —

(a.) In the translation at sight of passages taken from the less difficult Greek and Latin authors.

(b.) In Greek and Latin Prose Composition.

(c.) Either in the Philology of the Greek and Latin languages, or in Ancient History.

II. Mathematics. - Second-Year Honors are awarded in Mathematics on two conditions. The first condition is distinguished excellence in all the mathematical work of the Freshman year, and in the work of the first and second mathematical elective courses. The second condition consists in passing with distinction a special examination, partly written and partly oral, which will involve a moderate amount of work additional to that comprised in the regular courses, and may be extended to cover the whole mathematical knowledge of the candidates.

No one can be a candidate at graduation for Final Honors in the Classics or in Mathematics, who has not previously taken Second-Year Honors in the same department, nor for Final Honors in Ancient Languages who has not previously taken Second-Year Honors in the Classics.

Candidates for Second-Year Honors are required to register their names at the Dean's office as early as the first of April of the year in which they present themselves for examination.

For the year 1874 Second-Year Honors were assigned to the following students:

[The names are arranged in the three Classes in alphabetical order.]

Special Honors, of two grades, will be given at graduation for great proficiency in any one of the following Departments: -I. Ancient Languages, II. Classics, III. Modern Languages, IV. Philosophy, V. History, VI. Mathematics, VII. Physics, VIII. Chemistry, IX. Natural History.

A candidate for these Honors in any Department must satisfy the following requisitions:

I. He must have passed with distinction examinations: (a) on all the prescribed work of the College in that Department; (b) on Elective

Courses in that or kindred Departments,* equivalent, if the Department be Modern Languages or Mathematics, to nineteen hours per week for one year; if it be Ancient Languages or Classics, to eighteen hours; if it be History or Natural History, to seventeen hours; if it be Physics or Chemistry, to sixteen hours; if it be Philosophy, to fifteen hours.

II. If the Department be Classics, the candidate must be able to read ordinary Greek and Latin at sight, and to write Greek and Latin Prose; if it be Modern Languages, he must be able to read French and German at sight, and to write French and German, and must farther offer himself for examination in Italian, Spanish, or English.

III. If the Department be Classics or Mathematics, he must have taken Second-Year Honors in the Department; if it be Ancient Languages, he must have taken Second-Year Honors in Classics.

IV. Whatever be the Department, the candidate must present such Theses as may be required of him, and must also, near the close of the Senior year, pass an examination, before a committee of the Faculty, on the subject in which he offers himself for Honors, for the purpose of testing the range and accuracy of his knowledge of it. This examination may be either oral, written, or by experimental work, as the committee shall determine.

In the year 1875 Honors will be awarded also (for the last time) in the Departments of Physics and Chemistry combined. The terms on which they are granted have been announced in previous years.

The Elective Courses which candidates for Honors in the several Departments are required to take, and those which they are allowed to substitute from other Departments, are as follows:

Ancient Languages.
