The Royal Charter i>"ranted by H. M. Queen Victoria, vixs signed at West- minster, December 8, J 852. By the Bull : Inter var'ias solUcUw^ti's^ May 15, 1875, the Sovereign Pontift' Pius I'" oi g'orious and pious memory, has given t • the Laval University its complement by ^^.-ra^ ri.)-^ ;t the solemn canonical erection with many ext?^.vjve privileges. By virtue of this Bull, the IJnivorsity has for protector at the Holy See, His Emii'ience the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda. The supreme direction of doctrine and discipline, viz, of faith and morals, is vested in a Superior Council, composed of the Rt Rev. Bishops of the civil ]*rovince of Quebec, under the l^residencyof His Grace the Archbishop of Quel c, who is also Apostolic Chancellor of the University. By virtue of the Royal Charter, the Visitor of the Laval University is the Catholic Archbishop of Quebec who has the right of veto over all the rules and nominations. The Superior of the Quebec Seminary hdejure tlie Rector of the University. The Council of the University is composed of the Directors of the Quebec Seminary and of the tliree senior titular professois of each of the faculties. ^hH^HL — 4 Tlierc arc lour faculties, viz: tliat of Tlicology^ of Law, of Mt'dieiuo and of Arts. The |»rofessors ■of the faeultv of TheoloaT are named hv the Visitor. All the others are named hv the Council and thev can he deposed at will The degrees "vvhieh the students may ohtain in each of the faculties are those of Bachelor, Master or* Licentiate, and Doctor. (Jood conduct is an essential condition for ohtaining degrees. According to the decision of the 8. C. of the Propaganda, dated Fehrnary 1876, the faculties of the Laval University have l)een extended to Montreal, grimting that city all the advantages of the Laval UnivL-rsity ; that is to say, the numher of professors in the various faculties has l>een increased so that tlie same lessons are given in Montreal and in ()uehec. Thus each faeultv is now divided into two sections which have ootli a dean and a secretary, the section ofQuehee and the section of .Montreal. The sections ot faculties estahlished in Montreal, constitute in that city, the teaching hody of the Laval University, and the correspondmg sections in (^uehec form the teaching hody of the Laval University in Quehec. Althougli those faculties do not form a disthict body in Montreal and in (iuel)ec, the faculties in Montreal are known under the name of Suceur- sale of the Laval University, or merely Laval University in ^lontrcaJ. The sections of Montreal and of Quehec arc ahsolutely e(iual, as far as their attributions are concerned, since tliey are parts of the same faculties. In Montreal and in Quebec, they have to teach and examine, and they are consulting committees for the Universitv Council, which sits in Quebec. •^ o According to the lloyul Charter, eoniirined hy the decision of Rome, there can be but one facuHj- of eacli denomination. The professors of tlie same facnky in Queljec and in Montreal, are conse- quently al)solutely under the same footing, governed by the same rules and enjoying tlie same privileges. t ORGAXIZATIOX OF TEACIIIXG. The academical year comprises nine nionths and is divided into three terms. The first begins about the first of October, and ends at Christmas; the second ends at Easter, and the third at tlie beo-innino; of Jul v. The teaching is given by titular professors, by fellows and by tutors. The first are properly speaking professors ; they oidy can be members of the University C'onncil, and have a del>ating voice in the council of the faculties. Since the year 1871-/2, a titular professor in one faculty can no longer be appointed titular professor hi another ; but can be a fellow or a tutor. The lectures in the faeultv of Theolou'v, of Law and of Medicine are private. Nevertheless any priest can be admitted to the lectures on Theo- loa;y ; the same rule exists for lawyers with regard to tlie lectures on Law, and for physicians and surgeons with regard to the lectures on ^Medicine. In the faculty of Arts there are public and i»rivate lectures ; the latter are for the students of this faculty only. Once a \veek, in tbo private lectures, the pro- fessor devotes the time of one lecture to examine pupils on the sul)jects studied during the we^k. — 6 — At the end of cacli term, all the student.s undergo aa examination on tlie different matters taught during the term. This examuuition which is oral, is l)etbre a jury of three i)rofessors. The result, which is inscribed in the registers, is noted by one of the six terms : Very good, Good^ Suffi- cient b/ good, Medium Bad, Very Bad, as tliecase may re(|uire. In the particular examination a pupil deserving any one of the last three notes prevents his obtaining any degrees, until the objection is removed, at some future time, by a satisfactory examination. There arc two classes of pupils : tiie Inscribed Pupils, or Pupils, who have undergone success- fully the examination of Inscription in the faculty ol Arts ; and the Sticdents, who have not unler- gone that examination. For the faculties of Law and Medicine, the yoimg men who propose i'.y practise as lawyers, notaries or physicians in the Province of Quebec, must, even to b<';idniitted jis students, have l»een admitted by the r»'^pt'cri\c boards of the Bar, the Chamber of Notaries, or College of Physicians of the Province ol <^u>li»ee. These two classes of studentsai'e :d»solutely on tiii^ same footing, the only diiier* ihm- eonsistiiii:; iic luaile lor the liivt some pecuniary mentioned. advantag<>s .\ EDIFICES. The Laval TTniversity is composed of a main building, in which the lectures on Law and Arte arc given, which also contains the nmseums and the library, and of other bnildings, the principal of which are the following : 7 — i's The Medical School, a tliree story stone build- ing, 70 feet in front. The lectures on Medicine are given there. It has two museums very complete containing the following collections : 1. The different pathological affect' on^, of the bony system, monstrosities and compare.! ana- tomy. This collection contains over 600 natural pieces, prepared with the greatest care in t'rance, by physicians and naiuralists. Many of these pieces i*... unique. ^ 2. A great number of pieces are preserved in alcohol, showing the pathological state of the fleshy parts. This collection is" due to the profes- sors of the University and to the generositv of other physicians viio have kindly benefited the IJniversity by the precious result of their experience. ^ 3. Artificial pieces used for the study of skin diseases and syphilitic affections. This" part con'- prises 250 pieces made in Paris. Owing to the delicate cut of the models, the number and correcrness of the details, these artificial pieces are accurate specimens and so instructive, that to see them once is sufficient to recognize immediately in nature the alterations they represent. 4. A collection of beautiful instruments which, with regard to the numbei', usefulness, and perfection of the pieces, are not inferior to the finest collections of other large institutions. These instruments were expressly mamifactured for the Laval University by Mr Matliieu, in Paris. 5. A very large and complete collection of medical matter specimens, prepared with care, and used by the professor of this branch of medi- cal sciences in illustrating his demonstrations. — 8 Thk ITxivER^iTY ]loAKi)rN(; ITorsi:, uiisworii.i^ the samo jturposc as tlic Faiiiily Ik^usos, [Mai.sims ile families] of tlie trench eathoHe Univertsitiet*.

Sterry Hunt. Several rare substances have been added to the nmseum, so that it is now one of the most complete of the University. Independent of this general collection, many others, smidler hut very complete, serve for the demonstration of ceitain Special properties, namely : the degrees of hardness, the 0[>tical, electrical and organoleptic properties of minerals, cleavage together with the different khids of compositions and structure. The collection of Canadian and foreiijn marble s is particularly reniarkalde. It is situated in tl second orallerv. in the case at^ainst the lorn/ wall !->'Tl I Y 21 — "Wo also direct attention to a iine little collec- tion made perBonally by abbe llaii}^ himself for the Quebec Seminary.

Amoni»:st them are a general collection of the mineral species and rocks of Canada, copper ores of tlu^ Eastern Townshii)s, marbles of Saint-Joachim, gold bearing (piartz and alluvion of Beauce, iron-ores of Leeds, of Saint- Urbai:i and of Saguenay, slates of Melbourne, P. Q., and a rich collectio'\ of asl)estos from Thetford and Coleraine. The Mineralogical museum contains ii) all, over 4000 specimens. Geologtcal Museum. — It comprises niorc than 1,500 specimens classiiied as follows : 1. A fine collection of stones belono:inL' to tlie difi'erent formations, and characterized bv some paidcularitics of structure or composition, 2. A large collection of fossils partaining to all the geolcjioal epochs, and especially to the silu- rian and devonia.i of Canada. The latter were given by the (leological Su.rvey of Canada, and th specimens classiiied have been named by the courtesy of Mr Billings. The museum also contains numbers of fossils given by private parties, friends of science. We shall mention amongst othci's, a tine collection of tertiary fossils from the basin of Paris, given by abbe P>aret d'Amblainville, a member of the Geological Societv ot Frarice, and a series of fossils of the group of Saint-.lolm, given by ^t.
