To prevent or cprrect mistakes in marking attendance, a list of ab- sences shall be put up fortnightly, and of those not explained satisfactorily, within four days thereafter, to the Secretary of the Senate, a permanent record shall be made. 10. When a Student enters after the calling of the Roll, lateness shall be marked against him, and a repetition of this conduct, after admonition to the contrary, shall constitute an offence to be dealt with by the Senate. 6. ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH. 11. S. Students shall regularly attend Divine Service in the Churches to which they belong. 12.

All Students are expected to be very careful in conserving College property. 19. An injury done without deliberate intention, when promptly ac- knowledged to the Principal and repaired to his satisfaction, shall not be considered a punishable offence. 20. The prompt acknowledgment of any offence shall always be taken into account in the infliction of a penalty. 9. THE COLLEGE SESSION. 21. A full Session in any Faculty shall be reckoned from the day on which the work of the Faculty begins, as announced in the Calendar, until the meeting of Con\ ocation at which the College Session is closed. 22. Students who do net attend four-fifths of the whole number of class-meetings in a Session, shall not be regarded as having attended a full Session, unless the Senate, for sufficient reasons, record a decision to the contrary. 23. The Senate may, for reasons determined to be sufficient, allow par- tial attendance during one year to be completed in a subsequent year, so that a Student may thereby be credited with a full Session. 10. GRADUATi6n COURSE FOR B. A. 24. The course for graduation as Bachelor of Arts shall consist of four full Sessions, but Intrants who can pass the second Matriculation Exami- nation may graduate in three Sessions. 25. Students intending to graduate must observe the appointed order mt 1 I I i t of Classet and Examinations, as announced in the Calendar. The Senate may, however, allow an intending Graduate a division of Classes and Ex- aminations between two Sessions, but Students to whom this allowance is granted shall be disqualified for holding any Scholarship awarded upon the University Examinations of either of these Sessions, and for taking rank in the Merit List of Passmen. 26. Students may be admitted ad eundem statum at any stage of the course, on producing satisfactory certificates of Matriculation and attend- ance at other Colleges and of progress in their studies^ 11. CLASS EXAMINATIONS. 27. statute 34 enacts that there shall be regular viva voce and written examinations in the classes. 2S. Sickness or some similar affliction shall be the only valid excuse for absence from a written examination. 29.

CLASS CERTIFICATES. 30. S. Each Professor shall, at the close of a Session, grant certificates of attendance, progress, and attainments. 31.

No Student shall be entitled to a class certificate without showing his Registration Ticket (Regulation 3), and the Librarian'^ Certificate (Regulation 94). 13. UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS. 33. AH examinations held by the appointment of the Senate for Ma- triculation at the beginning of a Session, for Passing at the close of a Session^ for the awarding of Honours, or for the granting of Degrees, shall be called University Examinations. 34. The subjects of all University Examinations shall be intimated in the Annual Calendar, and all intimations so published shall be strictly ad- hered to. 35. AH intending Candidates must, at such time as the Senate shall ap- pointj intimate in writing to the Secretary of the Senate the particular examinaticms at which they propose to appear, and the Honours, if any for which they mean to compete ; and before taking their places at the examination they must pay to the Secretary of the Senate the examina- tion fee specified in the Calendar. 36. Candidates shall have seats allotted to them in the room where the examination is appointed to be held, and these seats they shall occupy during the whole of the examination, unless a change be ordered or per- mitted by the Secretary of the Senate. 37. No Candidate shall be allowed to bring any book or paper to the examination. 38. No communication of any kind, by conversation, exchanging of notes, or any other means, shall be allowed to pass from one Candidate to another during the examination. Each Candidate ia expected to take particular care not to distract in any way the attention of other Candi- dates. 39. S. In each of the departments of examination written questions shall be set, to which written answers shall be given in presence of the Examiners. 40. The asking of information from Examiners respecting the contents of Examination Papers placed in the hands of Candidates shall be discour- aged, and any Examiner may intimate his entire disallowance of it. An explanation considered necessary shall not be made to one Candidate with- out being made in the same terms to all. 41. If any Candidate be found consulting a book or note, copying an- other Candidate's paper, or using any other unfair means of answering the questions proposed, he shall be required at once to leave the room, and shall not be permitted to appear at any remaining part of the examina- tion, nor shall any papers which he may have before given in be sustained. Cases of this nature shall be reported to the Senate, and the Senate shtdl deal with them as very grave offences. 42. If sickness, domestic affliction, or any other cause beyond one's con- trol, prevent a Candidate from appearing at any examination at which he may have intimated his intention to appear, he may be examined after- wards, at a time appointed by the Senate, but he must make application for this privilege in wiiting, and produce a satisfactory certificate that the cause of his absence was beyond his control. 43. In University Examinations a Department shall be understood as including all the subjects belonging to one Professorship. 44. For the information of Candidates the marks allotted to the several Departments shall be published in the Calendar, and for the estimating of the value of Papers received from Candidates, such a proportion of the total number for a Department shall h^ assigned by the Examiners, subject to the rovidion of the Senate, to each Hubject in a Department, as the re- lative importance of the subject may warrant. 45. No information of any kind, an to the results or expected results of any examination, shall bo communicated before the public announcement of them by the authority and appointment of the Senate. 14. EXAMINATIONS IN ARTS — DEGREE OF BACHELOR, (B.A). 4G. In order to pass at a Matriculation Examination, Candidates must obtain at least one-fourth of the total number of marks allotted to each Department. 47. In order to pass at any of the other examinations, except the Final, the aggregate number of marks obtained in all the Departments must be equal to one-third of the total number allotted to the Departments ; but if a Candidate reach one-third of the total number of marks in all the De- partments taken together, and yet fail to obtain one-fourth of the num- ber assigned to any one Department, he shall be alloved to pass in all the other Departments, provided he shall pass at the ne t examination in the subjects in which he may have failed. If, however, a Candidate fail to ob- tain one-fourth of the total number in more than one Department, he shall not be allowed to pass, even though he may have reached a third of the total number in all the Departments taken together. 48. In order that a Candidate for graduation may pass at the Final Ex- amination, he must reach one-half of the total number of marks in all the Departments taken together, and one-fourth in each separately. 49. Although the number of marks reached by a Candidate at the Final Examination be found insufficient to warrant his obtaining the Degree, the Senate may judge it to be high enough to allow of his competing for a Theological Scholarship. 50. In order that a Candidate may obtain ^r«« class Honours in any De- partment, the aggregate number of marks for his Honour and Pass Papers together must be equal to three-fourths of the total number allotted to the Department. 51. In order that a Candidate may obtain second clans Honours in any Department, the aggregate number of marks for his Honour and Pass Papers together must be equal to two-thirds of the total number allotted to the Department. 52. No Candidate shall obtain Honours in any Department if ho fail to reach one-fourth of the total number of marks in any other Department. 53. If a Candidate for Honours fail to obtain the required number of marks, his Honour Papers may nevertheless be taken into account by the Senate in deciding whether he shall pass, but his place in tho list of Gradu- ates shaU be determined by his Pass Papers alone. I ; ftH the re- 9' 54. The foregoing Bj-lawi Hhall be so undoratood that if a Candidate fail only by a very small number to reach the profioribed standard, the Senate may, at diHcretion, postpone a final decision upon his ease till he hafl been examined orally. 55. If the Papers of a Candidate be found sufficiently Batinfactory to entitle him to pass, the Senate may dispenHe with an oral examination, but if by his Papers a Candidate barely i-oach the proscribed standard the Senate may examine him orally in order to decide upon his standing. 56. Successful Candidates shall be classified as Matriculants, Pass Men, Honour Men, and Graduates, in lists showing their order of merit. 15. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS, (M.A.) 57. The Degree of Master of Arts shall not be conferred u,K)n any Candidate until after an interval of two years from the date of his gradu- ation as Bachelor. 58. The condition of obtaining it shall be the composition of a sufficient- ly meritorious Thesis, on some subject taught in the Fav.iilty of Arts or closely connected with one of the Departments. 50. Candidates shall select their own subjects, but must intr iate their selection for the approval of the Senate, before the first d»y of March, by letter addressed to the Secretary of the Senate. 60. The Thesi :; ■• it be given in to the Secretary c£ the Ser to on or before tho first day of April, and must ha.e attached to it a kiwiciificate showing tLj Candidate's age to be at least twenty-one. 61. All successful Theses for the Degree of Master shall bbot me the property of the University. 16. AD EUNDEM DEGREES. 62. Graduates of other Colleges may be admitted ad eundem gradum (B.A. or M.A.) on producing satisfactory certificates of rank andchartcier. 17. EXAMINATIONS IN THEOLOGY. 63. The standard for Matriculation shall be the same as in Arts. 64. The standard of success in a Pass Examination shall be one-fourth of the number of marks allotted to each subject mentioned in the Calen- dar, and an aggregate of one-third of the total number allotted to the Departments. 18. DEGREE OP BACHELOR OF DIVINITY (B. D). S5. In order to be eligible as Candidates for the Degree of Bachelor of Divinity, Students must have the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, must have completed the Curriculum of three Sessions, and passed all the University Examinations in their Theological course. :i I!

Scholarships shall be payable by the Treasurer in two equal instal- ments, the latter not before the first day of April. 81. The second instalment of a Scholarship may be forfeited, under a sentence of the Senate to that effect, by general misconduct or negligence in study. 82. The holder of a Scholarship shall not be entitled to the second in- stalment, if his attendance prior to the first day of April cannot be certi- fied as a full Session, unless sickness or some similar afBliction oblige him to leave College before completing the Session, in which case he shall be entitled to the second instalment upon his readmiasion to the classes by the Senate ; but all claim shall cease if he be not readmitted at some time within either of the two Sessions immediately following. 83.

BURSARIES AND CHURCH STUDENTS. 84. A grant of money to a deserving Student in need of assistance, while preparing for the ministry in connection with the Church of Scot- land, shall be called a Bursary, to distinguish it from a Scholarship, which always implies competitiion. 85.

Applications for Bursaries must be made by letter addressed to the Convener of the Bursary Committee, and every application must embody a satisfactory statement of the occasion of it. 87. Bursaries shaU be payable by the Treasurer of the Bursary Fund, upon his receiving a ^^tten order from the Convener of the Bursary Com- mittee specifying the time and mode of payment agreed upon by the Committee. 88. Nothing in these By-laws shall prevent the Bursary Committee from disposing of money for the benefit of Students, whether Mutricu- lants or not, according to the signified wishes of particular donors ; but, in ■mn 12 on the contrary, all recommendations accompanying special contributions shall be duly observed. 89. 8. A Church Student may have a Scholarship supplemented out of the Bursary Fund. 90.

The use of works borrowed from the Library as text or class-books is strictly forbidden, and when a Student transgresses this By-law, he for- feits all the privileges of a reader for the rest of the Session. 94. No Student entitled to the use of the Library shall have his Class Tickets signed by any Professor without producing the Librarian's certifi- cate, testifying that his position as regards the Library is in accordance with the By-laws.

If the period close on a holiday, or a day on which the Library is closed, the first day thereafter on which the Library is open shall be the day on which books should be returned. Fines due on books borrowed for summer reading shall be deducted from the borrower's deposit, and fines due on books borrowed during the Session shall cause suspension of the use of the Library until the books be returned and the fines paid. 97. Any Graduate of the University who is iiot a registered Student, having deposited five dollars in the hands of the Librarian and paid a subscription of three dollars, is entitled for one year from the date of de- posit and subscription to the same privilege as registered Students, but, in other respects, only on the same terms as registered Students. 98. All books shall be recalled annually on the eighth day before the last day of the Session, and none shall be given out thereafter except for summer reading, and a fine of twenty cents shall be exacted for every volume retained, by whomsoever retained after that day, but this By-law shall not prevent Students leaving College before that time from borrow- ing books for the summer, subject to By-law 95. 99. An annual inspection of the Library by the Curators shall take place between the 8th and 16th of November, during which period the Library shall be closed, and all books, by whomsoever borrowed, must be returned to the Library before the commencement of that period, other wise a fine of fifteen cents per volume shall be exacted, which fine shall be repeated weekly after the expiration of the time of inspection, so long as any volume is retained, until a copy of such volume of equal value be placed in the Library at the expense of the borrower. 100. Readers sending their books to the Library, or having books sent to their order, must bear all risk of loss or damage thereby occurring, and make good any loss or damage actually arising. 101.

The Curators may make arrangements for allowing such works to be consulted. u 102. Single numbers of magazines and periodicals are to be regarded as volumes. 103. These By-laws shall be written in a book over the words, "I here- by agree to observe the above By-laws and be subject to all the conditions therein contained, so far as they are applicable to me, during the whole time I shall continue to borrow books from the Library of Queen's Uni- versity," and every person, on becoming a reader, shall be required to write his name under them. i I- 'I I yarded as "I here- mditions be whole m's Uni- [uired to
