As a good deal of misunderstanding seems to exist in regard to Queen's Col- lege, especially in the remoter parts of the Dominion, it is thought advisable to give information upon some points that are only lightly touched upon in the Calendar, or that are not referred to at all, POWERS AND RELATIONS. Queen's College has University powers secured by Royal Charter. It is one of the oldest Universities in the Dominion, being now in its thirty-sixth session. It gives the Degrees of Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc), and Bachelor of Divinity (B.D.) upon exami- nation ; and that of Master of Arts (M.A.) upon the production of an approved thesis after two years' standing as Bachelor of Arts. Having the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons afHliated to it, the Senate 6f the University appoints examiners in Medicine and confers the Degree of Doctor of Medicine (M.D) on successful candidates. Although established by the Church in connection with the Church of Scotland, and supported l)y it until the union of Presbyterian Churches, it has always been, and is still, non-denominational as regards its Arts Faculty. It exacts no tests : stud- ents from all the leading denominations in Canada have occupied its lienches, and many of them are to be found in the pro- fessions of the Ministry, Law, Medicine, Engineering, Teaching, &c., in this and other countries. By recent legislation Queen's College has the same relation to the United Church as it had formerl5 to the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland ; and it is the only College in connection with the Presbyterian Church in Canada which both gives a full Arts course and grants degrees. 603.1 ADMISSION TO CLASSES. A cuniculuni somcwiiat simihir to tliiit of the Scottish Universities has recently been adopted, with the object ofgivin}^ to all students, as far as possible, a choice as to tlic order in whidi tliey may take the several classes, and of allowinji,' any stu- dent, not intending to graduate, to take any classes he pleases and in any order which he thinks most i)rofita1jle. Matri- culation, when practicable, is advisable and confers certain advantages, but it is not essential even for students studying for a degree ; thus, if a student having a degree in view enters the junior classes without matriculating and passes the ex- amination in these classes at the close of the session or at the beginning of the fol- lowing session, he is thereupon admitted to the rank of undergraduate and is thereafter in all respects as if lie had matriculated. Some students now in attendance have in this way obtained the rank of undergradu- ates. Students preparing for the ministry in the Presbyterian Church, and not desiring to take a degree, are required to pass only such examinations as the Church may pre- scribe. DEGREE OF BACHKLOU OF ARTS. The course Oi tudy for this degree com- prises thirteen classes, of which eleven are compulsory and two optional, so that a student who graduates in four years must take four classes in one session only, while students who are able to enter the senior classes in their first year may graduate in three years. The compulsory classes are Junior Latin, Junior Greek, Senior Latin, Senior Greek, Junior Mathen\atics, Senior IVIathematics, Chemistry, Logic and Metaphysics, Ethics, Natural Philosophy, and English Litera- ture. The options are between History and Natural Science, and Itetween French. i Germiin and Hebrew, tliat is, one class from eat'li of tlu'S(! two <,'roiij)s must he taken. Tl»e exaniinution for passiiiu;' in iiny one class js indopenthsnt of the examinations for passinif in other classes, and may be taken cither at the close of the session in which the class is atttmtled or at the be- ginning of the following session. 11URSAK1E8. These arc sums of money awarded to de- serving matriculants who have in view tlie ministry of the Presbyterian Churcli in Canada, and do not require to be repaid unless tuc rcciijieuts fail to enter the minis- try. Recommendations accomi)anying contributions for the benefit of particular students, whether matriculants or not, are duly observed, SCHOLARSHIPS. Scholarships varying from |32 to |120 are awarded upon the results of examina- tions. A sum of over $1,800 is available for this purpose in eacli session. In compliance with the wishes of the donors about one-third of this amount is awarded without distinction of church or creed, the balance of $1,200 being for the special benefit of students for the ministry of the Presbyterian Church. Scholarships can bo held only by matriculated students, and hence one advantage of matriculating. PRIZES. Besides prizes in books given for dis- tinction in class-work, there are this session seven prizes of $25 each and one of $40 for the best essays upon special subjects. The Elocution Association also gives three prizes for superiority in reading. It will be seen from what has been said above that while Queen's College allows great freedom in the selection of classes to those who desire to take only a part of the curriculum and to students preparing for the luinistry, it at tlic same time aims at fjfivino- H tlH)r()ii<>l» education to all who aspire to the ruiik of <>ra(luate. The Den^ree of IJachehu' of Arts is ^iven only to tliose wlio have shown l>y exami- nation their aciiiuiintancf with the whole round of subjects constituting a liberal education. Impressed with the importance of keeping up the standard of attainment the University demands not less than one- third of the maximum of marks allotted to each, suhject, thus making the standard tor passing at least as high as that of any University in the Dominion : but, as has been already pointed out, the taking of tins Degree is purely optional, and there- fore does not alfect those who, for what- ever reason, niay not see fit to study for it. A refert)nce to the Calendar will show that by the Degree of Bachelor of Science, recently established, in connection with honours, encouragement is given to students who have completed the ordinary curricu- lum for B.A. to extend their knowledge of special subjects. The principle upon which the Authori- ties of th'j College have proceetled is that tlie first thing to be aimed at is the im- parting of a sound, and, as far as possible, complete education, and that the knowledge of special subjects of study is a secondary matter aftecting only a few. The advantages of this method are easily se^n. Among them may be mentioned the consideration that no matter what tUe student's future course in life may be— whether he enters the Church or engages in teaching or in the practice of Law or Medicine-all liis mental ])owers have been exerci.'^ed, and he is in a positicm to torm an intelligent Judgment upon ques- tions of speculative interest or practical importance.
