CLASS LIBRARIES.

1. There is a Library in connection with the St Andrews Students' Missionary Society. It consists chiefly of books bearing on Missions and Missionary work, and occasional additions are made to it by grants from the funds of the Society. It is managed by one of the members of the Society, who is chosen annually.

2. The Logic Class Library.—Originated by the late Professor Spalding, and added to by the late Professors Veitch and Baynes. 3. The Chemistry Class Library.-Founded by the late Professor Connell, who bequeathed to it a number of volumes.

4. The Humanity Class Library.-Containing a small number of books bearing on Latin Literature.

5. The Mathematical Class Library.-Founded at the close of session 1882-83, for the use of students attending the Mathematical Classes. It is suggested that any one interested in the University and possessing books, however old or shabby, connected with Mathematics or Natural Philosophy, for which they have no special use, might present them to the Class Library. This Library now numbers upwards of 650 volumes.

MUSEU M.

DIRECTOR-PROFESSOR M'INTOSH.

The Museum, which is the joint property of the University and the Literary and Philosophical Society, occupies four apartments in the United College. In 1871 it was greatly enriched through the munificence of the late Professor Macdonald, who presented the University with collections in various departments of Natural History. Recently extensive additions have been made in the Zoological department, especially in spirit-preparations. Those from the great International Fisheries Exhibition in London, H.M. Trawling Commission, the Australian Museum, Sydney, and the local series, especially of the food-fishes, are most noteworthy, and in many cases unique.

The Ethnological specimens are exhibited in the small room on the upper floor.

The Fossils are arranged in stratigraphical order, commencing with the oldest fossils, and passing successively upward till the semi-fossilised deposits of recent times are reached.

The

arrangement starts in the drawers of the lower room with the Graptolites of the Silurian, and terminates in that room with the Mountain Limestone: it is again taken up in the left-hand case of the large hall by the Orthoceratites of the Dumfries district, which are followed by a somewhat extensive series of the Blackband fossils of Fife; the circuit of the case ending with the Oolite of Brora and the Purbeck stone. The case on the opposite side of the room continues the collection with the Gault; the series ending, after the circuit of this case, with rocks presently in course of formation. From the above series a very complete collection of the fossils of the yellow sandstone of Dura Den have been separated, to find a conspicuous position in the cases of the entrance lobby.

The Museum contains a series of rock-specimens illustrating various sections across the Grampians, collected by Colonel Imrie, and presented by the late Dr Govan, and a general series of the rocks of Scotland.

Arranged collections of Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, and Amphibians occupy the other cases of the large hall: arrows indicate the direction in which each collection should be examined.

The upper hall contains the Local collections :-A classified series of the birds of the district; of the fishes (including illustrations of their eggs and development), crustaceans, and molluses; spirit-preparations of the various invertebrate groups. A temporary collection for teaching purposes is at present displayed here. There will be also found in the lobby a number of cinerary urns and human skulls found in the neighbourhood of St Andrews; and also ponderous sculptured stones, and other objects of archæological interest.

The osteological collection is exhibited in the room opposite the large hall, as well as in proper order in the groups.

The Museum is under the management of a Joint-Committee, representing the University Court, the Senatus Academicus, and the Literary and Philosophical Society of St Andrews.

The inhabitants of St Andrews and their friends are admitted free to the Museum every Thursday, between the hours of 1 and 3 P.M. in Winter, and 1 and 6 P.M. in Summer. At other times the public are admitted under the personal care of the Janitor, at a charge of twopence for each individual, and for each member of a party. All Matriculated Students of the University have free access to the Museum. Each member of the Literary and Philosophical Society has the privilege of free admission for himself and a party of six, under his personal charge.

GIFFORD LECTURESHIP IN NATURAL

THEOLOGY.

This Lectureship was founded in 1887 by the late Adam Gifford, sometime one of the Senators of the College of Justice, who bequeathed to the University the sum of £15,000 (less legacy duty) for the purpose of establishing a "Lectureship, or Popular Chair, for promoting, advancing, teaching, and diffusing the study of Natural Theology, in the widest sense of that term."

It is provided in the Trust Disposition and Settlement, executed by Lord Gifford, that the Lecturer shall be appointed from time to time by the Senatus Academicus for a period of two years and no longer, but the same Lecturer may be reappointed for other two periods of two years each. The Lecturer appointed shall be subjected to no test of any kind, and shall not be required to take any oath, or to emit or subscribe any declaration of belief, or to make any promise of any kind. He may be of any religious denomination whatever, or of no denomination at all. The subject is to be treated as a strictly natural science; and the Lectures are to be public and popular, open not only to students of the University, but to the whole community without matriculation. Besides a general and popular audience, the Lecturer may form a special class of students for the study of the subject, which will be conducted in the usual way, and tested by examination and thesis, written and oral.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS.

EXAMINERS.

The University Court of each University annually appoints. as Examiners such number of Professors or Lecturers in the Faculty of Arts in that University, and such additional Examiners, as may be deemed necessary. The Preliminary Examinations in Arts, Science, and Medicine are conducted by these Examiners under the control and supervision of the Joint Board. In the event of a Professor or Lecturer declining to undertake the duty of examining, it is in the power of the University Court to appoint another Professor or Lecturer or an additional Examiner in his place. The Examiners in each University, as soon as they have marked the answers of the candidates, transmit them, through the Senatus, to the Joint Board, with copies of the list of candidates, showing the marks assigned to each and the candidates whom they propose to adjudge successful. Each of the additional Examiners receives such remuneration as the University Court shall determine. (Ord. No. 13, Sec. II., III., XX.)

JOINT BOARD OF EXAMINERS.

In connection with the Preliminary Examinations a Joint Board of Examiners, consisting of representatives of the four Scottish Universities, has been constituted by the Scottish University Commissioners (Ordinances Nos. 13 and 43).

The Joint Board consists of eight Professors or Lecturers and eight additional Examiners-two Professors or Lecturers and two additional Examiners being appointed in each year by the University Court of each University from among the Preliminary Examiners. The Joint Board holds office from the 1st day of February to the 31st day of January in the succeeding year, and the members are appointed so as to represent the different subjects of examination according to a scheme of rotation set forth in Ordinance No. 43, Section I.1 In the event of a vacancy

1 The scheme of rotation for St Andrews is as follows: ENGLISH, 1901 (Professor), 1902 (Professor), 1903 (Additional Examiner), 1904 (Addi tional Examiner). CLASSICS, 1901 (Additional Examiner), 1902 (Pro
