Every Student intending to study for the ministry of the Church of Scotland must produce to the Professor of Divinity a certificate from the minister of the parish in which he has his usual residence-or in his absence, or during a vacancy in said parish, from some neighbouring minister-bearing that his character is suitable to his views; together with a certificate from the Presbytery to which he belongs and a certificate from the Examining Board of the Church, stating that he has passed the examination prescribed in the case of Students entering the Divinity Hall for the first time. In order to be enrolled for subsequent years, the Student is required to produce two certi ficates-viz., one from the minister of his parish of his good character and communion with the Church; and the other from the Presbytery within whose bounds he has chiefly resided during the previous twelve months-stating that he has passed the examination required to be undergone by Students of Divinity before entering the Divinity Hall for the second or third Session, as the case may be. 2. Every Student must be enrolled for at least three Sessions, which must be Sessions of regular or constant attendance. Every Student must also give regular attendance, during at least three full Sessions, on the class of Divinity, and two full Sessions on the classes of Church History, Hebrew, and Biblical Criticism. Every Student is required to deliver with approbation six discourses-viz., an essay on some subject in Biblical Theology, a homily in English, a critical exercise on some portion of the original text of the Old Testament, an exercise and addition on some portion of the original text of the New Testament, a lecture on some portion of Scripture, and a popular sermon. It is expected that every Student will deliver his first discourse during his second Session at the latest, and the remainder of his discourses at such periods as may enable him to deliver the whole of them before the end of January of the last Session of his course. The Primarius Professor of Divinity prescribes and hears the lecture and sermon, the Professor of Divinity and Church History hears the homily, and the Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism the critical exercise on a portion of the New Testament and the essay in Biblical Theology, and the Professor of Hebrew the critical exercise on a portion of the Old Testament. 3. The Principal and Masters require Students to be regular in their attendance, and to give a satisfactory explanation in the case of absence. Irregular attendance on the part of a Bursar may entail forfeiture of his Bursary. 4. They enjoin Students to attend public worship with regularity, and recommend them to be present at the daily morning service in the University Chapel. 5. The Principal and Masters enjoin the Students to shun even the appearance of evil; to discover, by their attention to their studies, and by the general style of their manners, that they have just impressions of the character and views of a Student in Divinity; and while they give offence to none, to make it their constant endeavour so to conduct themselves as to obtain the approbation and esteem of the wise and good. Prospective students of Divinity are strongly recommended to follow the course for graduation here suggested :- AI. Latin and Greek. II. Logic and Moral Philosophy. III. Moral Philosophy and Political Economy. PROFESSORSHIPS. DIVINITY. This Professorship, introduced on the original foundation, is conjoined with the office of Principal.
