A letter was also read from Edward T. Turner, Registrar of the University of Oxford, enclosing the Decree admitting this University to affiliation, unani- mously voted in a Convocation duly holden on Tuesday, November the 26th, 1896, The communications from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge were ordered to be referred to a Special Committee consisting of President Loudon, Rev. Dr. Sheraton, Rev. Dr. Caven, Chancellor Burwash, Mr. B. E. Walker, Mr. King, Dr. Graham, and Professor Hutton (Convener). The above comnuinieation from the University of Cambridge was referred to Mr. Hodgins, the former Chairman of the Special Couinnttee, who thereupon made the following report • — Toronto, 19th November, 1895. Dear Mr. Vice-Chanxelloh : — I have read the letter of the Secretary of the Council of the Senate of the University of Cambridge to the Registrar, dated the 30th ultimo, on the application of our University for Special Affiliation, and would suggest a reply to the following effect : — The application of tlie Seriate to the University of Cambridge asked that we should be granted the same privileges as those conferred upon the University of Adelaide, by which our matriculated students who had passed the first and second annual examinations for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Laws, or Medicine, in our University, should be entitled to be admitted to the privileges of affiliation in the University of Cambridge. The draft of the proposed Statute recommended by the Council of the Cam- bridge Senate provides that matriculated students in the Faculty of Arts may be granted the privileges of affiliation, and to that extent it is a partial grant of our application, and is satisfactory. But there is nothing in the Secretary's letter, nor in the draft statute or grace, infoiming the Senate of any objection to the grant of similar privileges to our matriculated students in the Faculties of Law and Meiiicine, and such as have been granted by the grace of the Cambridge Senate, to the matriculated students of the University of Adelaide.* The Cambridge University Calendar, under the title of " Proceedings in Medicine," states that " Medical study out of the University shall in all cases be understood to mean study at some well-known School of Medicine, which shall have been recognized by the Special Board for Medicine." And in the list of " Colonial and Foreign Schools of Medicine end Hospitals recognized by the University of Cambridge," appear the names of Johns Hopkins University and McGill University, the curricula and standards of medical lectures and examination in which are similar to those in the University of Toronto. It will be necessary for you to ascertain from the Secretary of the Council the decision of the authorities of the University of Cambridge respecting our University's application for affiliation privileges in the Faculties of Law and Medicine. See page 10, ante. 'ii 16 The application sent by our Senate to the University of Cambridge stated that " this tfniversity is willing to accept and observe the conditions prescribed by the general regulations of the University of Cambridge for Affiliated Institu- tions." A copy of the General Regulations, which the Secretary of the Council has enclosed, was attached to the draft form of application prepared by the Senate Committee, which our Senate adopted and ordered to be forwarded to the Vice- Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. It would be proper to inquire if the Council of the Senate requires any fur- the" assent of this University to these general regulations.

Dear Sir,— The Affiliation Committee of the Council of the Senate have considered your letter and enclosure ot 22nd November, 1895, and they have requested me to reply on their behalf. The Committee made no proposal with regard to students of Law in the University of Toronto, as they had no information concerning the nature of the )ridge .stated IS prescribed ited Institu- the Council y the Senate to the Vice- res any fur- JS, ic Council, io enclose a ' the Special tie grant of iver to your jistrar. trar of the , 1895. enate have they have !jaw in the ture of the 17 course which .such student.s are required to pursue. The Calendar (page 188) merely states that the curriculum in law is at present in process of revision. The principal reason why no proposal was made with regard to students of Medicine was that the examinations for the degree of M.B., subsequent to the Junior Matriculation Examination, appeared to include none but scientific and professional subjects, and hence the Committee came to the conclusion that they tiad not sufficient evidence before them that students of medicine would have shewn such proficiency in the subjects of general education as would justify this University in admitting them to an Honor B.A. Examination. It is to be observed whilst affiliation under the existing regulations exempts all students, including students in medicine from the previous examination in Arts, it shortens the course only for the B.A., or the LL.B. degree in honors, not for any other degree. The above remarks will shew why the Committee proposed to limit the [)rivilege3 of affiliation in the case of the University of Toronto to those matricu- ated students who had passed the first and second annual examinations for the degree of B.A. The Committee will, however, be quite ready to reconsider the question if they are desired to do so by your University. In this case I shall be glad to receive information as to the prescribed curriculum for students of law, and it may be advantageous that I shouM be furnished with specimens of the papers set in the Junior Matriculation Examination. You will observe that in the case of the I 'niversity of Adelaide, affiliated students must have satisfied the examiners in certain specified subjects in some one or more of the examina- tions, other than the Junior Public Examination, held by that University. A somewhat similar proviso might, if necessary, be introduced in the regulations for the affiliation of Toronto. I do not know whether you have ar»y students who are likely to desire to be admitted to the privileges af affiliation here in the near future. Should this be so, it may be well to proceed with the ()arlisiu'il the Honor Department of Political Science and prescribed a course of study, which was not materially changed until May, 18i>5. The Curriculum in Law was based on this Arts course, the work of the first year of the jmss course in Arts was prescribed for Matriculation in Law, the work in Political Science of the second year in Arts — when the honor course began — was that for the first year in law, and this continued throughout, so that when a student completed his cour.se in Honor Political Science, he had but one more year's work before his examination for LL.H. I .send herewith a copy of the Curriculum in Law for liS91-l«!)5, which will remain in force until July Ist, 1H97, so as to enable students in Political Science, who graduate in Arts this year, to take their degree in law under the old cur- riculum. The committee of the Senate having in charge the revision of the Curriculum in Law, has not yet reported, but 1 hope to see the work completed before the close of the .se.ssion, when 1 shall forward you a number of copies. In accordance with your suggestion, I have been instructed by the Senate to ni .vC application to the Special Board for Medicine for the recognition of this University, in respect of iis Faculty of Medicine as a Colonial School. I have been instructed t<» enquire whether it will be of any advantage to this University to receive the same utiiliation in medicine as has boon granted to the University of Adelaide, and if so, whether the higher standard of matriculation contemplated by the Medical Council will entitle our medical stuflents, when it comes into force, to aHiliation with the University of Cambridge, such as the University of Adelaide posse.s.ses ; and if not, what evidence of proficiency in the subjects ol the Arts course and what examinations of that course will be required by the University of Cambridge for that purpose. I ma}' be permitted to explain the reference to the Medical Council, which is the licensing body for Ontario. For many years it accepted for matriculation a certificate of matriculation in any Canadipn or British University, and as a con- sequence, the standard varied very greatly. In 1890 an arrangement was made, by which the examinations for matriculation in this University and for the various grades of teachers' cert'^.cates in this province, were to be conducted by a joint board, of which half of the members are appointed by the Senate of this University, and the other half by the Minister of Education for the Province. The University retained its right to fix the standard, and within a short time, the Law Society, the Medical Council and other educational institutions required students entering u pon course of study with them to pass this matriculation examination. The Medical Council in June last, after the new Curriculum in Arts had been issued, passed the following regulation : "Everyone desirous of being registered as a matriculated medical student in the register of this college, except as hereinafter provided, must on and after the 1st day of November, 1897, present to the registrar of the college the ofticial certificate of having passed the Junior Matric- ulation Examination as conducted by the Education Department of Ontario, with not less than .second class honors in each of the following subjects : English, Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology ; or in lieu thereof an official certificate of having passed the Junior Matriculation Examination as conducted by the Education Department of Ontario, and in addition thereto a certificate of having passed, not sooner than in tlie ensuing year, the Arts examination held at the end of the first year of the University course by a recognized University." This i.s much more than the University requires and will not be taken by all our students \n medicine, only by those who propose to practice in Ontario. By reference to so tlio CuiTiculuiii ill Arts, whuro tli« (•(.rulitioiiH lor luatriiiultttion— the Hiiiue fop both Arts and Medicin*;- -art) .irtiin'.!. yoii will sit that this University now rLMjuiruH a candidato to pass an nxainination in tlircr lani^ua;,'('s, Latin and oithor French or (Jernian are compulsory, and in addition either (Ircuk or the second Modern Lanj;ua;^e with Physical Science.

Dear Sir,— 1 have pleasure m informing you that on Thursday last the Senate passed a Grace confirming the recommendations relating to the University of Toronto contained in the report of the Council, of which I enclo.a" a copy herewith. The effect of this is to entitle properly qualified students in Arts of your University to the privileges of atfiliation in this University. the siiiiio fri(iije, to the Any, ifSIMi. to rccof^uizi! h eaiidiilatos ther courses Hocrctjirv, Htrar of the , 189U. ay last the !

AHiliation, as I have already explained, exempts from a year's residence only those students who art! proceeding' to an Arts de^jreo in Honors at ('aiiibridge. Il", b iwever, you still desire that privileges of alliliation be extended to iiiatricu- luted students in Medicine of your University, the Attiliatioii ('ommittee are prepared to j^ Dostt to the ( !oiincil of the Senate that matriculated students of the University ( f Toronto who have completed therein two acaihnnical years of study, and have passed the Departmental Arts Matriculation Examination, and the tirst and second annual examinations for the degree of Bachelor ot Medicine, shall be entitled to be admitted to the privileges of attiliatioii, |)rovided that in some one of these examinations or other examinations conducted by the Univer- sity of Toronto, they have satisfied the examiners in fiatin, one other language not being Knglish, Mathematics and Physics. This arrangement would — (1) Entitle a stmlent atKliated under these conditions to be registercil by the General Medical Council ; (2) Excuse him from the Previous Examination ; (3) Enable him to be a candidate for the H.A. degree in Honours at the end of two year's residence at Cambridge ; (4) Jn conjunction with the recognition of the Special Hoard for Medicine above referred to, enable him to proceed to a degree in Medicine at the end of three years of medical study in Cambridge. As regards the aHiliatioii of students in Law in your University, the Com- mittee will be happy to consider the appropriate conditions so .soon as they shall have received the copies which you kindly promise of the revised curriculum.

The foregoing cummunication was read from J. N. Keynes, Secretary of the Council of the Senate of the University of Cambridge, enclosing a copy of the Grace of the Uni\ersity, granting to the University the privileges of affiliation in the Faculty of Arts, and suggesting that the Senate apply for similar privileges respecting the F'aculty of Medicine. On motinn of Prof. Macallum, seconded by Mr. J. M. Clark, it was resolved to make application for the privilege of affiliation in respect of the Faculty of Medicine, and that Chancellor Burwash, Professor Cameron and Professor Macallum, be appointed a Special Committee to draft the necessary application.

Dear Sir, The Senate of the Uui\ ersity of Toronto on the 23nl of June last, appointed a committee to deal with the (jucstion of affiliation of the Univer- sity of Toronto witli the l'ni\ersity of (Cambridge as regards niedicine, and referred to this committee your communitation of the 11th of June, with full ])0wers to act for the University of Toronto. This comniitteo has had the matter under consideration and begs to aoc(;pt the privileges of affiliation ottered to students of medicine who have passed the Arts Departmental Matriculation of Ontario, and the first and second examinations in medicine of the University of Toront. >. The committee desires in addition to point out that the September Matricu- lation Pjxamination of the University of Toronto is fully equal to the Arts Departmental Matriculation of Ontario from a literary standpoint, though not accepted by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario for' purposes of registration, because that body seeks a common standard for all schools and colleges, such as the Arts Departmental Examination aftords ; and this committee would ask the Univ - nty of Cambridge to accept the Matriculation Examination of the University ot I'oronto, which is practically the same as the other as a first step towards proceeding to the aegrees in medicine of the University of Cam- bridge, even although such degrees be not registrable for the purpose of medical practice.

ToHONTO, 10th February, 1896. Rev. Sir, — The Senate of the University of Toronto have adopted a resolu- tion, of which I enclose a copy,* and I now write to request to be informed of the terms and conditions upon which our University may be admitted to the special privileges mentioned on pages 9-10 of your Calendar. Do the regulations of Trinity College mean that a student of a Colonial University who is of the proper standing for taking the degree, may be admitted to your University, and proceed to obtain a degree i' And does the expression " exercises for the degree " in section 3, mean that the examination questions for the degree, and the answens of the candidate in the Colonial University, are to be transmitted to the Kegius Professor in your University ? In Oxford and Cambridge, an undergraduate in a Colonial University, who has passed his second years examinations there, can be admitted into either University without examination, and may proceed to a degree in two years from his admission. Am I right in assuming that a similar policy has been adopted by the University of Dublin ? Your obedient servant, (Signed) THOMAS HODGINS. The Very Rev'd CJEORiiK Salmon, D.D., Provost of Trinity College, Dublin. 5g.s to aocopt e passed the jxaminations ber Matricu- to the Arts , though not purposes of schools and is committee Examination ler as a first lity of Cam- ) of medical omaiii,teo. Puovost's Hou.se, TuiNiTV College, DUHLIN, February 20th, 1896. Dear Sir, — The regulations which you (juote from p. 9-10 of the Calendar only relate to students who have obtained their education in Arts here. The old statutes enact that no one can get a degree without attendance in person to receive it, and this rule remains unaltered with respect to persons residing in these islands. But the regulations which you (luote form a comparatively recent provision for the case of men who go abroad after having obtained the B.A. degree, and desire to proceed to higher degrees, and for the rare case (which has sometimes occurred) of men going away in the short interval between their pass- ing the degree examination and having the degree formally conferred. There are no " ad eundem " regulations except in the cases of Oxford and Cambridge, save that graduates of any chartered university are not required to pass a matriculation examination. I dare say if it came before us as a practical question, we .should not be unwilling to do as much for members of Indian and Colonial Universities as is done in Oxford and Cambridge. But though we have had Canadians who have got their whole education here, (when a tutor I have had such among my own pupils), I do not remember a case of a student desirous of completing here an education begun in Canada. Thomas Hodgins, Esq., Toronto. I am, very truly yours, (Signed), GEO. FALMON. •See resolution of the Senate, p. 6. i u Report of the, former Chairman of the Special Committee on cm. application to the Unirersity of Trinity College, Dtiblin. TouONTO, 2«th Septemuer, 1,S9G. Dear Mr. Vice-Chancelloh, — Pursuant to the resolution of the Senate adopted on the 8th of June last, authorizing me to arrange, if I could do so, with the University of Trinity College, Dublin, for the affiliation of the University of Toronto on the same terms and conditions as tl ose on which the University has already been affiliated with the Universities of Uxford and Cambridge, I ha\e the honor to report that, after receiving in Dublin the resolution of the Senate, I called on the Reverend George Salmon, D.D., Provost of Trinity College, and explained to him the desire of the Senate for the affiliation of our University. He informed me that the sessions of the College Board were then over, and that it would not meet again until ( )ctober, but he introduced me to several of the Senior Fellows of the University, members of the governing Board, to whom I explained the position of our University, its educational standards, the action of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge in granting to us the privileges of affiliation, and the desire of the Senate to obtain similar privileges from the Uni\ersity of' Dublin. And I also fully explained to them the reasons why such privileges should be extended to the University of Toronto, and answered, I trust satisfac- torily, the questions asked of me by such members of the Board as I had the privilege of meeting. They informed me that their University had not fis yet made regulations similar to those adopted by Oxford and Cambridge for the affiliation of Colonial Universities. But they expressed themselves individually' favorable to the policy of such regulations, and stated that if the University of Toronto presented a similar application, to that presented by it to Oxford and CJambridge, it would be favorably considered, unless, as one member subsequently stated, some legal impediment in their charter, statutes or rules might prevent the University grant- ing such affiliation privileges. But he also added that if any such impediment existed which could be got over by what he termed " a Queen'.s Letter," he was satisfied that such Queen's Letter could be obtained. I therefore suggest that the Senate transmit to the University of Trinity College, Dublin, a formal application for the grant of affiliation privileges similar to those granted to the University by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ; and I think from the observations made, and the interest manifested by the Provost and Senior Fellows in our University, that it will be successful, unless .as above stated, some legal impediment may be found to interpose. I have the honor, etc., (Signed) THOMAS HODGINS. Hon. William Mulock, LL.D., M.P., Vice-Chancellor, University of Toronto.
