must be passed on the Higher Standard [in certain cases the Intermediate Standard, and an additional modern language as a fifth subject, may be substituted-see Section II. of the Regulations for Graduation in Pure Science. This exception does not apply to candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering, but they need not necessarily pass the Preliminary Examination before entering on their curriculum]; (3) a degree in Arts shall exempt from the Preliminary Examination. III. MEDICINE.-Every candidate for graduation in Medicine must, before commencing his medical studies, pass a Preliminary Examination in (1) English; (2) Latin; (3) Elementary Mathematics; and (4) Greek or French or German. Details as to the scope and standard of the Preliminary Examinations, so far as these have been determined by the University Commissioners, will be found in the Regulations for Graduation in Arts (Sections II. to XXI.), in the Regulations for Graduation in Science (Section II.), and in the Regulations for Graduation in Medicine (Sections III. to VI.) In addition to the Regulations of the University Commissioners above referred to, the Joint Board of Examiners has made the following Supplementary Regulations: PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION IN ARTS AND SCIENCE. 1. English will include Grammar, Composition, Literature, History, and Geography. (a) Grammar will include Analysis, Parsing, Derivation, and Correction of Sentences. (b) Composition will include an Essay and Paraphrasing. The prescribed books will be : For 1902-(1) Shakespeare, As you Like It; (2) Lamb, First Essays of Elia; (3) Dickens, Barnaby Rudge. For 1903-(1) Shakespeare, Coriolanus; (2) Scott, Fortunes of Nigel; (3) Carlyle, Essay on Burns. (d) History will include a knowledge of one of the three following periods, questions in each of which will be set in each examination, viz. : The outlines of the History of both England and Scotland, (a) from the Roman Occupation to 1603; (b) from 1603 to the Union of the Parliaments in 1707; (c) from the Union of Parliaments to the Reform Bill of 1832. (e) Geography will include a general knowledge of the Geography of the World, and a special knowledge of the Geography of the British Empire. 2. The Latin Examination on the Higher Standard will beTranslation, Prose Composition, Grammar, and Sentences. 3. The Greek Examination on the Higher Standard will beTranslation, Sentences (or an Easy Passage of continuous English Prose set either as an alternative or as a substitute), and Grammar. The passages for Translation both from Greek and Latin will include Prose and Verse. 4. The Latin Examination on the Lower Standard will beTranslation and Parsing, Prose Composition, Grammar, and Sentences. 5. The Greek Examination on the Lower Standard will beTranslation, Sentences, and Grammar. In the Latin and the Greek papers, both on the Higher and Lower Standards, candidates are required to satisfy the Examiners both in composition and in translation. 6. In the Examination in Mathematics on the Higher and Intermediate, and on the Lower Standards, each question in Geometry will consist of two parts, of which one will be an easy deduction or illustrative exercise on the proposition set as bookwork. The papers in Mathematics on the Higher Standard and on the Intermediate Standard will be devoted to the various subjects comprised in them as nearly as possible in the following proportions: two-fifths to Geometry, two-fifths to Algebra (including Arithmetic, if thought desirable), and one-fifth to Trigonometry. Candidates for the Higher Standard may obtain full marks by doing correctly about two-thirds of the questions set in each subject; but the Examiners will be entitled to reject a candidate who makes in any subject less than a certain minimum of the marks allotted to that subject. The pass-mark for candidates on the Intermediate Standard is fixed with reference to the total number of marks assigned to questions which fall under the syllabus of the Intermediate Standard; but such candidates will receive credit for any question they may answer. The paper in Mathematics on the Lower Standard will be devoted to the various subjects comprised in as nearly as possible the following proportions: four-ninths to Geometry, three-ninths to Algebra, and two-ninths to Arithmetic. Candidates may obtain full marks by doing correctly about two-thirds of the questions set in each subject; but the Examiners will be entitled to reject a candidate who makes in any subject less than a certain minimum of the marks allotted to that subject. 7. The paper on Dynamics will be directed to test the candidate's knowledge of the fundamental principles of the subjects included in it. As far as possible each question will consist of two parts, one of which will be a numerical or other simple illustrative example of the principle with which the other part of the question deals. About one-seventh of the paper will be devoted to Kinematics, and the remainder of the paper will be assigned to Kinetics, Statics, and Hydrostatics, in as nearly as possible equal proportions. Candidates may obtain full marks by doing correctly about twothirds of the questions set in each section of the paper. Dynamics shall include the following: (1) Kinematics-Displacements, velocities, and accelerations of a moving point, with their compositions and resolutions. Translations of a rigid body. Relative velocity of two moving points. (2) Kinetics-The laws of motion. Momentum, force, energy, work their measures in the British and C. G. S. systems of units. Change of units. Rectilinear motion of a particle under the action of constant forces. Free motion of a body under gravity, including projectiles. Atwood's machine. Impulsive forces. Direct impact of smooth spheres. (3) Statics-Composition and resolution of co-planar forces. Theory of co-planar couples. Conditions of equilibrium of forces in one plane. Centre of mass. Friction. Machines. Application of the principle of work to machines. (4) Hydrostatics-Definitions of solid, fluid, liquid, gas. Vis cosity. Measure of the pressure at a point of fluid. Law of equable transmission of pressure. Laws of variation of pressure in heavy liquids. Resultant pressure of a heavy liquid on a plane surface, including the centre of pressure of a plane surface. Principle of Archimedes. Experimental determination of the densities of solids, liquids, and gases. Atmospheric pressure. The barometer. Boyle's Law. The siphon, pumps for liquids, air-pumps, and the diving-bell. Questions may be set which involve the Trigonometry of rightangled triangles. 8. For the Examination in French and German two papers shall be set, both in French and German-an hour and a half being allowed for the first paper, and two hours for the second; the first paper to contain a passage for translation from English into French or German, with some short sentences of an idiomatic character; the second paper will contain a set of grammatical questions, two passages for translation into English (one in Verse, one in Prose), and a selection of Literary or Philological questions, from which the candidate will be allowed to choose one only. certain The questions on Literature will be confined, year by year, to groups of authors, as in the following scheme, viz. :FRENCH.-In October 1902 (XVIIth Century)- Pascal, Descartes, Corneille, Racine, Molière, Boileau, La Candidates who, having taken in Latin or Greek the Examination on the Higher Standard, have failed to pass on that Standard, but have obtained a percentage of marks equivalent to a Pass on the Lower Standard, may be held by the Board to have passed the Examination on the Lower Standard. EXAMINATIONS ACCEPTED AS EXEMPTING FROM THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION IN ARTS AND SCIENCE. I. By Ordinances Nos. 12, 21, 22, 23, 132, 133, 134, it is provided that "a Degree in Arts (not being a degree honoris causa tantum) in any of the Universities of the United Kingdom, or in any Colonial or Foreign University specially recognised for the purpose by the University Court, after consultation with the Senatus, shall exempt from the Preliminary Examination" in Science.
