 conjunction with the Advisory Committee, India Office. 
 
 ADVICE TO STUDENTS. 
 
 Committees have been constituted in each Presidency and 
 Province of India (excepting Burma and the North- West 
 Frontier Province) with the object of (i) furnishing informa- 
 tion and advice to Indian students who contemplate going to 
 England, (2) circulating in India to Colleges and other Institu- 
 tions the educational, financial and social information collected 
 by the Central Bureau of Information established in London 
 by the Secretary of State for India, and (3) communicating 
 with the Central Bureau on behalf of students before they 
 start. Students and their parents are therefore advised to 
 take advantage of the facilities thus offered and to commu- 
 nicate with the Secretary of the Provincial Committee before 
 finally settling upon a course of study in England. 
 
 Much time is often lost in England if students have not 
 decided on the profession they are to follow, before leaving 
 India. 
 
 Students are advised to bring with them letters of intro- 
 duction, as there are many occasions when such letters will 
 be found useful ; and students who intend to join one of the 
 Inns of Court, especially, should bring letters of recommenda- 
 tion to Barristers of five years' standing in London. In every 
 case testimonials of good character should be procured from 
 principals or professors of colleges or other educational 
 authorities. 
 
 Several Universities and other educational institutions 
 
require from applicants for admission a birth certificate. 
 Many Indian students in England have been put to great 
 inconvenience for lack of such a certificate, or a corresponding 
 document duly attested by a magistrate or district officer. 
 
 It is important that students who have passed any 
 examinations of an Indian University should bring their 
 certificates : with them; or, if they proceed to England after 
 passing an examination, but before receiving the certificate, 
 they should bring a letter from the University, or such other 
 evidence as they can procure of having passed the examina- 
 tion. 
 
 The following Resolution of the Government of India 
 explains that Indian students proceeding to England should 
 not fail to apply in India for a Certificate of Identity, as such 
 a Certificate is likely to prove very useful to them in many 
 ways. 
 
 " RESOLUTION. The Secretary of State for India has 
 brought to the notice of the Government of India that it not 
 infrequently happens that natives of India, students and 
 others, who have proceeded to England, desire to obtain 
 passports to enable them to travel to foreign countries in 
 which the possession of a passport is necessary or desirable, 
 and that difficulty often arises from a want of evidence to 
 show that the applicant is a British subject and therefore 
 entitled to a passport. Appeals for assistance are also fre- 
 quently addressed to his Lordship by destitute Indians who 
 desire to return to their country, and by students who, owing 
 to embarrassed circumstances, are unable to complete their 
 course of education. 
 
 " In order to enable the Secretary of State to deal with 
 such cases satisfactorily, the Governor-General in Council has 
 decided that it is necessary to press upon Indian students and 
 others visiting England the desirability of providing them- 
 selves before their departure from India an authoritative 
 Certificate of Identity (in the form appended to this Resolu- 
 tion) signed by the head of a District (in a Presidency town 
 by the Commissioner of Police), in the case of residents of 
 British India, and by the Political Officer in that of residents 
 of native States. For a student the certificate should be 
 signed by the head of his last school or college and counter- 
 signed by the District Officer (in a Presidency town the 
 Commissioner of Police), or Political Officer, as the case may 
 be." 
 
 The want of such a Certificate has often proved disadvan- 
 tageous to an Indian Student by involving the delay of corres- 
 
pondence with India, and other inconveniences. The re- 
 quired form is easily obtainable in India. 
 
 A student should have passed some University Examina- 
 tion in India, beyond mere Matriculation, before coming to this 
 country. He will thus be ready at once to take advantage of 
 the opportunity for professional study here. 
 
 Those intending to enter either of the Universities of 
 Oxford or Cambridge are strongly recommended to delay their 
 departure from India until they have passed the examinations 
 in an Indian University that are accepted by Oxford and Cam- 
 bridge in lieu of Responsions or the Previous, or until they have 
 learned enough Latin to enable them to pass either of these 
 Preliminary Examinations immediately on their arrival in 
 England. Much money and valuable time are often wasted 
 by Indian students who have to spend the first year or more 
 of their residence at Oxford or Cambridge in preparing for 
 these elementary examinations to the neglect of more serious 
 studies. 
 
 Students wishing to enter the Universities of either 
 Oxford or Cambridge, and unable to present certificates that 
 exempt them from the Previous or Responsions may take up 
 either (a) Arabic or Sanskrit, or (b) Latin. Students at 
 Cambridge, unless they possess a knowledge of either Sanskrit 
 or Arabic equal to that required for the B.A. examination 
 of an Indian University, are advised not to take either of 
 these languages, as only one opportunity will be given them 
 of appearing in these languages. If Latin is chosen, and the 
 student is unable to study it in India, he is advised to arrive 
 in England in the December of the year preceding the October 
 in which he will commence residence, so that he may pass 
 the University Entrance Examination in September. It 
 should be pointed out that a knowledge of Latin is of great 
 value to students of history and law. 
 
 Students intending to enter the University of Oxford or 
 Cambridge should apply for admission to a College at least one 
 year before the term in which they propose to commence resi- 
 dence. The great increase of the number of the students at 
 these two Universities in recent years, and the limited accom- 
 modation available for them, expose those who apply late to 
 the risk of disappointment. Many English parents who wish 
 their sons to enter a particular College send in an application 
 as early as two years before the first term of residence. The 
 Tutors of Colleges generally give preference to early appli- 
 cations. 
 
 The ideas prevalent in some parts that it is impossible for 
 
a vegetarian to carry out his form of diet in England, and that 
 owing to the colder climate the drinking of alcohol is necessary 
 for the preservation of health, are quite fallacious. 
 
 Indian students must not expect to be able to maintain 
 themselves in any degree by means of teaching Eastern lan- 
 guages, or any other subjects during their stay in England. 
 
 Students ought to bring with them from India at least 
 20 or 30 in cash (after paying the expenses of the voyage) for 
 clothes and other necessaries required on arrival in England. 
 They should, if possible, keep throughout their stay a deposit 
 of not less than 30 in the bank to meet cases of accidental 
 delay (which frequently occur in the transmission of remit- 
 tances), or emergencies such as illness, or circumstances 
 necessitating an immediate return to India. 
 
 In addition to College and Class Fees, the student has to 
 spend a considerable sum (in regard to the I.C.S. 30 or 40) 
 on the purchase of books relating to his various studies. 
 
 The cost of education in England varies considerably with 
 the University, the social milieu and manner of life of the 
 student, his experience of the world and of the use of money, 
 and the course of study he pursues. A student at Oxford or 
 Cambridge who wishes to take advantage of the social ameni- 
 ties of these Universities requires 300 a year ; this sum will 
 cover also the expenses of the vacation. Students of retired 
 habits may manage to live on 250, while Non-Collegiate 
 students can live on somewhat less, but these smaller allow- 
 ances do not allow of students joining in the characteristic 
 life of these Universities. 
 
 A Student may, with economy, live in London on from 
 120 to 150 a year. This sum is independent of educational 
 and professional tuition, and only includes necessary expenses. 
 In Edinburgh and most other cities of Great Britain the 
 expenses of living are less than in London. 
 
 The cost of board and lodging for a student in London 
 depends on the kind of accommodation, and on the locality. 
 There are boarding-houses, where all have meals together at 
 fixed hours, at which the cost is from i 5s. to 2 2s. a week 
 (for board and lodging). Or a student having an allowance of 
 200 a year may live with a family, in which case he can gain 
 better acquaintance with English life and habits. 
 
 If a student should not be met on landing, the ship's 
 agents will look after his baggage, and, if he comes all the 
 way by sea, he can take the train with the other passengers 
 from the Docks to Fenchurch Street Station, where a cab 
 can be taken, in which he can drive to his destination. Arrange- 
 
merits are equally easy if he arrives at Charing Cross or Victoria 
 Station from Marseilles. It is most important that he should 
 inform some friend in London, by letter or telegram, of the 
 date of his expected arrival. Those who have no friends 
 to meet them and make arrangements for their board and 
 lodging can apply to the Hon. Secretary of the National Indian 
 Association, 168, Kensington Park Road, London, W., or the 
 Educational Adviser to Indian Students, India Office, London, 
 S.W. 
 
 LEGAL STUDY. 
 
 THE BAR. 
 INNS OF COURT. 
 
 THERE are four Inns of Court namely, the Inner Temple, the 
 Middle Temple, Lincoln's Inn, and Gray's Inn which have 
 the power of calling men to the Bar. 
 
 ADMISSION OF STUDENTS. 
 
 Every person not otherwise disqualified who has passed an 
 Entrance Examination at any University within the British 
 Dominions, or the Examination for the Indian Civil Service, 
 etc., is entitled to be admitted as a Student at one of the four 
 Inns of Court, without passing a preliminary Examination. 
 
 Other applicants for admission must pass an Examination 
 in the English and Latin languages, and English History. 
 But Indian candidates can obtain an exemption from the 
 Examination in Latin on applying for the same. 
 
 Proficiency in English is tested by the Candidates' answers 
 in History, the leading outlines of which only are required. 
 
 Preliminary Examinations are held in the week preceding 
 each term, and every succeeding week during term. 
 
 A Declaration in a certain form must be made on applica- 
 tion for admission as a Student, and the applicant must 
 obtain two separate Certificates, each to be signed by a Barrister 
 in England of five years' standing, stating that he is believed to 
 be a proper person to be called to the Bar. 
 
 CALL TO THE BAR. 
 
 Every student must be twenty- one years of age before 
 being called to the Bar. 
 
 The Student must keep twelve terms before he can be 
 called to the Bar, unless any term or terms (not exceeding two) 
 have been dispensed with under special circumstances by the 
 Benchers of the Inn. There are four terms a year, and a term 
 
is kept by attending (without the necessity of eating) six, or 
 in the case of a member of a British or Irish University, three 
 dinners in the Hall of the Inn. The terms are as follows : 
 Michaelmas term, November 2 25 ; Hilary term, January 
 ii 31 ; Easter term, four weeks, commencing the Tuesday 
 after Easter Tuesday ; Trinity term, three weeks, commencing 
 the Tuesday after Whit Tuesday. It is not necessary to keep 
 all the terms consecutively. A saving of about four months' 
 residence in England can be effected by those who are admitted 
 in November and who keep the Michaelmas term. 
 
 The Student must have passed, to the satisfaction of the 
 Council of Legal Education, a Public Examination for the 
 purpose of ascertaining his fitness to be called to the Bar, and 
 nave obtained from the Council a Certificate of having passed 
 such Examination. 
 
 Four such Examinations are held each year, one shortly 
 before each term. 
 
 The Bar Examination consists of two parts : PART I. 
 i. Roman Law and Jurisprudence and International Law, 
 Public and Private (Conflict of Laws). 2. Constitutional Law 
 (English and Colonial) and Legal History. 3 (A). Criminal 
 Law and Procedure. 3 (B). Real Property and Conveyancing, 
 or Hindu and Mahomedan Law, or Roman-Dutch Law, 
 PART II. FINAL EXAMINATION. (A) Common Law. (B) 
 Equity, (c) Law of Evidence and Civil Procedure. (D) A 
 General Paper on all the above subjects. 
 
 No Student will receive a Certificate of fitness for Call to 
 the Bar unless he passes a satisfactory Examination in the 
 above subjects. 
 
 A Student may present himself for Examination in all or 
 any of the Subjects i, 2, 3 (A) and 3 (B) at any time after admis- 
 sion. Without the special leave of the Council no student 
 shall present himself at the Final Examination unless he has 
 kept six terms. 
 
 The Council accept as an equivalent for the Examination 
 in Roman Law a Degree granted by any University within the 
 British Dominions, for which the qualifying Examination 
 included Roman Law ; or a Certificate that any Student has 
 passed any such Examinations. 
 
 FEES. 
 
 The fees connected with a Call to the Bar amount to nearly 
 150 ; but the sum of 90 must be paid at admission, and 
 the remainder at the date of call. At the Inner Temple an. 
 extra deposit of 50 is required. 
 
The fees of the various Inns are shown in detail below : 
 
 Payments on admission, including Stamps, 
 admission and lecture fees and deposit. 
 
 Payments on call, 
 including Stamp, call 
 
 
 (The deposit is returnable, without interest,

 Students from India should provide themselves with a 
 certificate of birth, and a certificate from some person in an 
 official position saying that they are proper persons to be 
 admitted to the Bar. 
 
 The Indian High Courts require, before an Indian Barrister 
 can be enrolled, that he should present a certificate of moral 
 character, signed in England by a Judge or by two Barristers 
 of over five years' standing. 
 
 Many Barristers undertake to give private tuition in pre- 
 paring for the Examinations, the fees varying with the amount 
 of tuition required. 
 
 THE SOLICITORS' EXAMINATION. 
 
 To become a Solicitor it is necessary first to serve under 
 Articles to a Solicitor for five years, and to pass three Examina- 
 tions of the Law Society. One, " Preliminary," before being 
 articled; the second, "Intermediate," for which candidate? 
 may appear after 12 months' service under Articles of Clerk- 
 ship ; the third, the " Final " one, before being admitted, 
 A person who has graduated at any University in England, 
 Scotland, or Ireland, or who has been called to the English 
 Bar, is only required to serve under Articles for three years.

 articled varies much with the circumstances of each case. 
 In good offices the fee payable is- 315 (300 guineas) for 
 
instruction during the five, four, or three years, as the case 
 may be ; and this fee is paid when the articles are signed. 
 The clerk has to lodge, clothe, and feed himself. There is a 
 stamp duty of 80 upon the articles, and there are fees of 
 30 53. to be paid on admission after the Final Examination.

 INDIA. 
 
 REGULATIONS. 
 
 1. An Examination for admission to the Civil Service of 
 India, open to all qualified persons, will be held in London 
 in August of each year. The date of the Examination and

 necessary for a Candidate to obtain a certificate of 
 age and nationality signed, should he be a resident in 
 British India, by the Secretary to Government of the 
 Province, or the Commissioner of the Division within

 Candidates are at liberty to name any or all these branches 
 of knowledge, provided that the maximum number of marks 
 that can be obtained from the subjects chosen is limited to 
 6,000. None is obligatory. 
 
 5. The merit of the persons examined will be estimated 
 by marks ; and the number set opposite to each branch in the 
 preceding regulation denotes the greatest number of marks 
 that can be obtained in respect of it. Considerable deductions 
 will be made for bad handwriting. 
 
 6. The marks assigned to Candidates in each branch will 
 be subject to such deduction as the Civil Service Commissioners 
 may deem necessary in order to secure that no credit be 
 allowed for merely superficial knowledge. 
 
 7. The Examination will be conducted on paper and 
 viva voce, as may be deemed necessary. 
 
 8. The marks obtained by each Candidate, in respect of 
 -each of the branches in which he shall have been examined, 
 will be added up, and the names of the several Candidates 
 who shall have obtained, after the deduction above-men- 
 tioned, a greater aggregate number of marks than any of the 
 remaining Candidates, will be set forth in order of merit, and 
 such Candidates shall be deemed to be selected Candidates for 
 the Civil Service of India, provided they appear to be in other 
 respects duly qualified. Should any of the selected Candi- 
 dates become disqualified, the Secretary of State for India 
 will determine whether the vacancy thus created shall be 
 filled up or not. In the former case, the Candidate next in 
 
12 
 
 order of merit, and in other respects duly qualified, shall be 
 deemed to be a selected Candidate.

 Open Competition. 
 
 In this Examination, as in the Open Competition, the merit of 
 the Candidates examined will be estimated by marks (which 
 will be subject to deductions in the same way as the marks 
 assigned at the Open Competition), and the number set oppo- 
 site to each subject denotes the greatest number of marks that 
 can be obtained in respect of it. The Examination will be con- 
 ducted on paper and viva voce, as may be deemed necessary. 
 This Examination will be held at the close of the year of pro- 
 bation, and will be called the " FINAL EXAMINATION."

 tion, and ability to ride, shall be certified by the said Commis- 
 sioners to be entitled to be appointed to the Civil Service of 
 India, provided they shall comply with the regulations in force,, 
 at the time, for that Service. 
 
 12. Persons desirous to be admitted as Candidates, must

 writing of the Candidate, must be returned so as to be received 
 at the office of the Civil Service Commissioners on or before the 
 ist July (or, if that date should fall upon a Sunday or public 
 holiday, then, on or before the first day thereafter on which

 Majesty, between twenty- one and twenty- eight years of age at 
 the date of the Examination, of sound bodily health, and in the 
 opinion of the Secretary of State for India in Council in all 
 respects suitable to hold commissions in the Indian Medical 
 Service. They may be married or unmarried. They must 
 possess under the Medical Acts in force at the time of their 
 appointment a qualification registrable in Great Britain and

 Candidate's own statutory declaration, forms for which can 
 be obtained at the India Office, supported, if required by 
 the Secretary of State, by such evidence as he may 
 consider satisfactory. A certificate of baptism which does 
 not afford proof of age will be useless.

 deciding whether the Candidate may be allowed to compete 
 for a commission in His Majesty's Indian Medical Service. 
 
 6. The physical fitness of each Candidate will be deter- 
 mined by a Board of Medical Officers, who are required to 
 -certify that his vision is sufficiently good to enable him to pass 
 the tests laid down by the Regulations. 
 
 Every Candidate must also be free from all organic weak- 
 ness, or other disability likely to unfit him for military service 
 in India.

 able period before the date at which he would otherwise sail 
 for India, furnishes proof of his election to a resident appoint- 
 ment at a recognised civil hospital, may be seconded for a 
 period not exceeding one year from the date on which he takes 
 up such appointment, provided that he joins it within three 
 months of passing his Final Examination and that he holds 
 himself in readiness to sail for India within fourteen days of the 
 termination of the appointment. While seconded he will re- 
 ceive no pay from Indian Funds, but his service towards 
 promotion, increase of pay, and pension will reckon from the 
 date borne on his commission. Before the commission of a 
 lieutenant-on-probation is confirmed he must be registered 
 under the Medical Acts in force at the time of his appointment. 
 
 13. Officers appointed to the Indian Medical Service will 
 be placed on one list, their position on it being determined by 
 the combined results of the Preliminary and Final Examina- 
 tions. They will be liable for military employment in any part 
 of India, but with a view to future transfers to civil employ- 
 ment they will be allowed a choice according to their positions 
 on the list between the following civil areas : Madras and Burma, 
 Bombay with Aden ; Upper Provinces (United Provinces, 
 Punjab and Central Provinces) ; Lower Provinces (Bengal and 
 Eastern Bengal and Assam). An officer transferred to civil 
 employment, though ordinarily employed within the area of 
 
i6 
 
 Tiis choice, will remain liable to employment elsewhere if the 
 exigencies of the service require it. 
 
 Examinations for admission to the Service usually take 
 place twice in the year i.e., in January and July. 
 
 Candidates will be supplied, on application, with copies 
 of the papers set at the last examination preceding i 
 
 INDIAN PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. 
 APPOINTMENT OF ASSISTANT ENGINEERS. 
 
 Natives of India are eligible under the regulations issued 
 from year to year by the Secretary of State, for appointments 
 in the Public Works Department made in England, provided 
 that the total number of Indians so nominated shall not in 
 any one year exceed 10 per cent, of the total number of 
 Engineers appointed. 
 
 Appointments are made with the advice of a Selection 
 Committee, including at least one eminent representative of 
 the Engineering profession. 
 
 Candidates must have attained the age of 21 and not 
 attained the age of 24 years on the ist July of the year of 
 appointment, and must be of good moral character and sound 
 physique. 
 
 Candidates must have obtained a Degree in Engineering 
 in one of the British Universities, or such diploma or other 
 distinction as may, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, 
 be equivalent to such a degree. 
 
 It is essential that a candidate should have had some 
 experience as assistant in the preparation of the designs for, or 
 in the execution of, some engineering work of importance. 
 
 After being provisionally nominated by the Selection 
 Committee, he will be required, before final appointment by 
 the Secretary of State in Council, to appear before the Medical 
 Board at the India Office for Examination as to his physical 
 fitness for service in India. 
 
 Candidates will also be required, before final appoint- 
 ment, to satisfy the Secretary of State in such manner as he 
 may determine, of their ability to ride. 
 
 The subjects which are held to be of most importance for 
 the Public Works Service are : 
 
 Pure Mathematics, including a knowledge of the differen- 
 tial and integral calculus ; Applied Mathematics, Geometrical 
 and Engineering Drawing, Surveying and Geodesy, Strength of 
 Materials and Theory of Structures, Hydraulics, Heat Engines, 
 Materials used in Construction, Building Construction, com- 
 
17 
 
 prising Wood and Metal Work, Limes and Cements, and 
 Building with Stone, Brick, and Concrete ; knowledge of the 
 Principles of Road-making, Waterworks, Sanitary and 
 Railway Engineering (important). 
 
 Candidates should also have had some workshop training. 
 
 INDIAN FOREST SERVICE. 
 
 Candidates applying for appointment as Probationers 
 must be natural-born British subjects, and must be under 
 23 years of age, unmarried, of good physique and of good 
 character. 
 
 Probationers are appointed by the Secretary of State, 
 on the advice of a Selection Committee. Candidates must 
 bring evidence, for the consideration of the Selection Com- 
 mittee, to show that they have passed with honours in a 
 public examination for a degree in some branch of Natural 
 Science, held by a University in Great Britain or Ireland, 
 and that they possess a knowledge of Mathematics up to 
 and including Plane Trigonometry. Special consideration will 
 be given to candidates who possess a Diploma in Forestry 
 granted by a British University. 
 
 In case the number of such candidates is not sufficient 
 to fill the number of appointments, candidates will be nomin- 
 ated who bring evidence to show that they have received a 
 good general education (including English, Mathematics, 
 Latin, and either German or French) and have a good know- 
 ledge of Chemistry and Mechanics and Physics. The pro- 
 duction of school certificates, or certificates that the can- 
 didate has passed the Matriculation Examination of a Univer- 
 sity in the subjects named, will be sufficient to satisfy the 
 requirements of this clause. Such candidates must not be 
 less than 19 years of age. 
 
 Should there be more qualified candidates than vacancies 
 to be filled, the final selection may be made by competitive 
 examination. 
 
 In the Medical Examination particular stress is laid 
 on good vision and hearing. 
 
 The period of probation for Probationers who have 
 passed with Honours in Natural Science will be two years ; 
 for those who have obtained a Diploma in Forestry two 
 years or less ; for others about three years. Probationers 
 will be required to undergo a special course of study at Oxford, 
 to become members of the University and to obtain the 
 Diploma of Forestry of that University. During vacations 
 
18 
 
 they will receive practical instruction in British or Con- 
 tinental forests. 
 
 Probationers will be required to defray expenses while 
 at Oxford, and on practical instruction in Britain or on the 
 Continent, with the exception of fees payable to local forest 
 officers. The Secretary of State makes a total allowance 
 to each probationer of 240, subject to satisfactory progress 
 and to security to refund the payments in case he does not 
 join the Indian Forest Service. 
 
 Successful probationers are appointed Assistant Con- 
 servators in the Indian Forest Department at Rs. 380 a 
 month. They are required to be able to ride. 
 
 For further information apply to the India Office for a 
 copy of the Regulations. 
 
 AGRICULTURE, &c. 
 
 Instruction in Agricultural and Horticultural subjects, 
 dairy farming, &c., is given by a large number of institutions. 
 
 CAMBRIDGE. 
 
 The course at Cambridge is particularly suitable from 
 the scientific point of view for students who have had a 
 
 Erevious science training not lower than the B.Sc. of Bom- 
 ay. The fees (which depend upon the particular College 
 which the Student wishes to join) vary from 150 to 200 per 
 annum. For students who do not join the University and 
 are willing to live plainly, it is officially stated that the cost 
 need not exceed 60, which includes 24 weeks' board and 
 residence with fees. 
 
 Two courses of study are open to the Student of Agri- 
 culture (i) a course leading up to the B.A. degree, extending 
 over three years ; (2) a course leading up to the Diploma in 
 Agriculture, extending over a fourth year, or, in certain cir- 
 cumstances, a degree and a diploma may be taken in three 
 years. The full course for the diploma alone extends over 
 two years. 
 
 A somewhat less expensive education is given at 
 
 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES, ABERYSTWYTH. 
 The degree courses, qualifying for the degree of B.Sc. 
 of the University of Wales, extend over three years (nine 
 terms). The diploma course qualifying for the College 
 diploma in Agriculture, also extends over three years, but 
 the students attend classes only during the winter months 
 (making six terms in all) and the remainder of the time (two 
 
19 
 
 periods of 24 weeks each) must be devoted to practical work 
 on an approved farm under the supervision of the lecturer. 
 
 An advanced course in agricultural chemistry, consisting 
 mainly of practical work, is provided for those who wish to 
 make a special study of the subject after having taken the 
 degree or diploma. 
 
 External work includes field demonstrations, dairying,, 
 and work on the experimental farm in connection with the 
 College. 
 
 Similar courses are given at the University of Leeds, 
 the University College of North Wales, Bangor, and the 
 Armstrong College, Newcastle. 
 
 Besides these Universities, there are several Agricultural 
 Colleges which give a Diploma in Agriculture to students 
 who have attended courses extending over two or three years. 
 
 THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, CIRENCESTER, 
 
 provides an education well suited to the needs of Indian 
 students. The object of this Institution is, by means of a 
 combination of College and Farm, to provide such a course 
 of special instruction, both scientific and practical, as shall 
 be most useful to an intending Agriculturist, and suitable 
 to any of the following classes : (i) Land Owners ; (2) 
 Farmers and Occupiers of Land ; (3) Land Agents, Surveyors, 
 &c. ; (4) Administrators and Inspectors ; (5) Professors, 
 Lecturers, and Teachers of Agriculture ; (6) Intending 
 Colonists, &c., &c. 
 
 The Workshops, Veterinary Hospital, Museum, Labora- 
 tory, together with the comprehensive teaching on Agri- 
 culture, Stock, Dairying, &c., &c., afford an exceptionally 
 valuable training for intending Colonists. 
 
 In-students all lodge and board in the College. They 
 are admitted at the ages of about 17 to 21 years, or upwards. 
 Out-students are admitted at 20 or 21 years of age and 
 upwards. They lodge and board in the town, in houses 
 licensed by the College. 
 
 Fees and Payments, payable terminally in advance : 
 In-students, 45 per term ; Out-students, 25 per term. 
 Entrance for Out-students, 5. 
 
 The ordinary course occupies two years, of three terms 
 each ; and that for the Diploma, two years and one or two 
 extra terms. There is a special one year's course of three 
 terms, better taken in four terms, completing Agriculture, 
 Veterinary or Chemistry, Surveying, Levelling, &c., with 
 
20 
 
 portions of Estate Management, Forestry, &c. At least 
 three subjects must be taken. 
 
 There is no entrance examination. A good general 
 education is the best preparation for entering the College. 
 
 A similar institution, at which the expenses of residence 
 are somewhat less, is 
 
 HARPER ADAMS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, NEWPORT, SALOP. 
 
 The courses of instruction provided at the College are : 
 (i) the Diploma course, extending over two j^ears and covering 
 the ground of the National Diploma in Agriculture examina- 
 tions, and (2) the Certificate course, extending over two years, 
 of a less advanced character, and intended to provide a 
 training in practical Agriculture, and (3) short courses of 
 eight weeks during the autumn and spring terms. 
 
 External work includes field demonstrations, dairying, 
 and work on the College farm. 
 
 Other Institutions of much the same character are 
 University College, Reading ; the Midland Agricultural 
 and Dairy College, Kingston; the College of Agriculture 
 and Horticulture, Holmes Chapel ; the Agricultural and 
 Horticultural College, Uckfield ; and the Agricultural Col- 
 lege, Aspatria. Cumberland. 
 
 UNIVERSITIES. 
 
 THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD. 
 
 DEGREES. 
 
 The University of Oxford grants Degrees in Five Faculties 
 --viz., in Arts, Music, Law, Medicine (including the Sub- 
 Faculty of Surgery), and Divinity ; and also Degrees in Litera- 
 ture and Diplomas in other subjects. The attainment of a 
 Degree in Arts is essential before entering either of the two 
 Faculties of Law and Medicine. 
 
 The following are the main conditions to attainment of the 
 Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Degree : 
 
 RESIDENCE AND MATRICULATION. 
 
 The Academical year is divided into four terms Michael- 
 mas Term, the first of the Academical year, beginning about 
 the middle of October ; Hilary (or Lent) Term, beginning about 
 the middle of January ; Easter and Trinity Terms (which are 
 practically one), beginning about the middle of April. Terms 
 occupy about half the year. Students, except affiliated 
 Students and Members of certain Universities (as to which see 
 later) must keep twelve Terms, not necessarily consecutive, 
 by residence, before attaining the Degree of Bachelor of Arts. 
 
21 
 
 Residence at Oxford during the Vacation is only allowed by 
 special permission. 
 
 Anyone who wishes to be matriculated as a Member of 
 the University must first be admitted either as a Member of a 
 College or Hall, or as a Non-Collegiate Student. Those 
 who join a College are ordinarily required to pass an entrance 
 examination conducted by the College authorities. The 
 nature of the Examination varies ; but in all cases the Student 
 must satisfy the College that he is likely, within a reasonable 
 period, to pass Responsions. N on- Collegiate Students are 
 also required to pass an Examination. 
 
 Anyone whose name has been placed on the books of a 
 College or Hall, or of the Delegacy of Non-Collegiate Students, 
 is eligible to be presented to the Vice-Chancellor for formal 
 enrolment on the Register of the University. This enrolment 
 is Matriculation. There is no University Examination for 
 Matriculation. 
 
 EXAMINATIONS. 
 
 Examinations in Arts, more usually called " Schools," are 
 sharply divided into Pass and Honours Examinations. In the 
 former there is but one standard ; in the latter the names of 
 Candidates who satisfy the Examiners are distributed into 
 three or four Classes, according to merit. 
 
 The attainment of the B.A. Degree, as above stated, is a 
 condition precedent to the attainment of degrees in Medicine, 
 Divinity, and, in ordinary cases, Law. A large amount of 
 choice is allowed in regard to the subjects, the time and the 
 order of the several Examinations required. In ordinary 
 cases, the following Examinations suffice : 
 
 i. Responsions. It is now possible to pass this Examina- 
 tion before going into residence. In many Colleges that is 
 compulsory. But, in any case, those who intend to try for 
 Honours should be prepared to pass Responsions in their first 
 Term. The subjects for Responsions are : (i) Stated subjects ; 
 (2) Additional subjects. The stated subjects are : Arithmetic, 
 Algebra or Geometry, Greek and Latin Grammar, Translation, 
 from English into Latin Prose, Greek and Latin authors, 
 chosen from a prescribed list. 
 
 The Additional Subjects are only required from those 
 Candidates who wish to obtain exemption from the Classical 
 part of the second Examination. They are, a Greek or Latin, 
 French, German, or Italian author, Bacon's " Novum Organ- 
 um," Book L, and the Elements of Logic. One subject only is 
 required. 
 
22. 
 
 Indian Candidates are allowed to offer in Responsions as 
 substitutes for Greek and Latin (A) English for one of these 
 languages, (B) either Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian or Pali for 
 the other. 
 
 2. The Examination in Holy Scripture or in a substituted 
 book. An Indian student may substitute any one of certain 
 specified books in Sanskrit, Arabic, Pali, or English. 
 
 3. An Intermediate Examination. This may be either (A) 
 a Pass Examination in Latin, Greek and either Elementary 
 Mathematics or Logic; or (B) an Honour Examination in 
 Latin and Greek ; or (c) an Honour Examination in Mathe- 
 matics ; or (D) Jurisprudence Preliminary Examination ; or 
 (E) the Natural Science Preliminary Examinations. 
 
 Of these, (D) and (E) are for those only who have passed 
 in an Additional Subject at Responsions, and intend to take 
 Honours in a Final Honour School. An Indian Student who 
 takes (A) may substitute for Greek and Latin (j) English for 
 one of these languages, (2) either Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian or 
 Pali for the other. 
 
 4. A Final Examination. This may be either the Pass 
 School of the Second Public Examination, or one of nine 
 Honour Schools. 
 
 The Pass School subjects are arranged in five groups, 
 a, b, c, d, e ; out of which Candidates must satisfy the 
 Examiners in three subjects, not more than two subjects being 
 taken from any one group, (a) contains Classical subjects (in- 
 cluding Sanskrit, Pali and Persian) ; (b) contains Modern 
 subjects one of which is Political Economy, and another a 
 Branch of Legal Study, either the Principles of the English 
 Law of Contracts, or the " Institutes " of Justinian, or Mayne's 
 " Treatise on Hindu Law and Usage," or Military Law. c, 
 Geometry, Mechanics, &c. d, Elements of Religious Know- 
 ledge, e, Military subjects. 
 
 The nine Final Honour Schools are those of Literae Human- 
 iores, Mathematics, Natural Science, Jurisprudence, Modern 
 History, Theology, Oriental Studies (including Sanskrit, Per- 
 sian, or Arabic, History of India, and one special subject, legal 
 or philological), English Language and Literature, and Modern 
 Languages. 
 
 It is not advisable for an Indian Student to enter at Oxford 
 until he has passed, or is ready to pass, Responsions. If he 
 knows Sanskrit when he leaves India, he can, with diligence, 
 learn enough Latin to pass Responsions in six months. 
 
 An Indian Candidate may obtain a degree without being 
 required to learn either Greek or Latin. 
 
 The Examination for the Degree of Bachelor of Civil Law 
 
23 
 
 includes the Indian Penal Code, and the Hindu and Muham- 
 madan Law of the Family, Family Property, and Inheritance. 
 As stated above, ordinary Candidates cannot attain this Degree 
 unless they have first been admitted to the B.A. Degree. 
 
 But a Student who has attained the age of 21 years, and 
 is a Graduate in Arts (or in Philosophy, or in Science) of some 
 other University, may, if he obtains the permission of the 
 Board of the Faculty of Law, commence reading at once for 
 theB.C.L. Examination, and take that Examination at the end 
 of either his second or his third year. If he obtains Honours in 
 the Examination, he may then proceed to the degree of B.C.L. 
 provided he has kept residence for eight Terms (two years) . 
 
 INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE CANDIDATES. The Open Com- 
 petitive Examination embraces nearly all the subjects of the 
 Honour Schools of the University of Oxford, and anyone who 
 is not twenty years of age on the ist of August of the year in 
 which he matriculates (in October) may give four years to an 
 Honour Course, and immediately after taking his degree, enter 
 for the Competitive Examination. But, as some special pre- 
 paration at a tutor's for the Competitive Examination is often 
 desirable, the University curriculum can be abridged so as to 
 allow a year for special training. 
 
 BODEN SANSKRIT SCHOLARSHIPS. These are four in num- 
 ber, and one is available every Hilary Term, after an Examina- 
 tion in Sanskrit. The emoluments are 50 per annum for four 
 years. Candidates must be matriculated members of a College 
 or Hall, who on the day of election have not exceeded their 
 twenty-fifth year, subject to certain qualifications regarding 
 their study of Sanskrit. 
 
 THE INDIAN INSTITUTE. The main object of this Institute, 
 founded in 1883, is to give effective teaching and to form a 
 centre of interest in all subjects that relate to India. The 
 Institute is intended to assist the Selected Candidate for the 
 Indian Civil Service, and all Indian Students who matriculate 
 or merely reside at Oxford. It also serves as a meeting-place 
 for Students of all countries who are engaged in Oriental re- 
 search. It includes Lecture-rooms, a Reading-room, a 
 Library, and a Museum. 
 
 EXPENSES.

 II. COST OF INSTRUCTION. 
 
 The tuition fees vary somewhat at the different Colleges T 
 but are usually under 25 annually. For Non-Collegiate 
 Students the tuition fees are 6 6s. annually. Students from 
 India often require further tuition than the Colleges provide. 
 In such cases, the Student should, before selecting a tutor, 
 ask the advice of his College tutor, or of the Censor of Non- 
 Collegiate Students. The fee for a private tutor is 20 guineas 
 for eight weeks for an hour's lecture on six days of the week, 
 or 10 guineas for the same on three days. 
 
 III. LIVING EXPENSES. 
 
 The cost of living at Oxford varies so largely with the 
 means, tastes, and moral courage of a Student, that it is not 
 possible to lay down many general propositions respecting it. 
 There are certain inevitable expenses, such as board and lodg- 
 ing, which vary in different Colleges, and in all are greater than 
 in the case of Non-Collegiate Students ; others, which are 
 desirable but voluntary, as subscriptions to Clubs and Socie- 
 ties ; others, as tradesmen's bills, which are almost wholly 
 within a Student's powers to fix for himself. Clothes, books, 
 railway fares, and the cost of living in the vacations have to 
 be taken into account. In order to obtain the collateral 
 advantages of University life, a Student ought to have 250 
 or 300 a year. 
 
 The expenses connected with rooms, rent, attendance, 
 meals, &c., are nearly the same at Oxford as at Cambridge. 
 
 Members of the Universities of Calcutta, Bombay, 
 Madras, the Punjab, and Allahabad, who have fulfilled certain 
 conditions there, are entitled to certain privileges at Oxford. 
 If they have completed a course of two years, and have 
 passed the Entrance (or Matriculation) and the First Arts 
 (or Intermediate) Examinations they are classed as " Junior " 
 Indian Students. If they have completed a course of three 
 years and have obtained Honours of a sufficient standard in 
 the Final (B.A. or M.A.) Examination they are classed as 
 " Senior " Indian Students.* The standard of Honours 
 required has been laid down for each of the five Universities 
 separately, and a Student must be careful to ascertain what 
 it is in his case. A Junior Indian Student can reckon his 
 first Term of Residence as the fifth from his Matriculation, 
 i.e., he is granted one year's standing. He is not required to 
 pass Responsions or in an Additional subject. He can take 
 the degree of B.A. after a residence of eight Terms, i.e., two 
 Academical years, if he has passed the Second Public Exami- 
 nation and has obtained Honours in either the First or Second 
 
25 
 
 Public Examination. If he has only taken a Pass in both 
 these Examinations, he cannot take his Degree till he has 
 resided Twelve Terms. 
 
 The privileges and status of a Senior Indian Student are 
 as follows : He can count his First Term of residence as the 
 fifth from his Matriculation. He is not required to pass 
 Responsions, the First Public Examination, or any Pre- 
 liminary of the Second Public Examination. If he obtains 
 Honours in any Final School, he can take his B.A. Degree 
 after eight Terms' residence. 
 
 (Very full particulars on all subjects connected with the 
 University can be obtained from the " Students' Handbook," 
 of which revised editions are frequently issued by the Claren- 
 don Press, Oxford. Price as. 6d. or 2s. gd. post free.) 
 
 *STANDARD OF HONOURS REQUIRED FOR "SENIOR" INDIAN STUDENTS. 
 
 UNIVERSITY OF ALLAHABAD. Any member of the University of 
 Allahabad who either shall have been placed in the First or the 
 Second Division in the Examination of that University for the Degree 
 of Bachelor of Arts and also in the First or the Second Division in 
 the Examination for the Degree of Master of Arts, or shall have been 
 placed in the First Division in the Examination for the Degree of 
 Bachelor of Arts and shall have obtained Honours in one or more sub- 
 jects at that Examination, shall be deemed to have taken Honours 
 as required. 
 
 UNIVERSITY OF BOMBAY. Any member of the University of Bom- 
 bay who shall have passed the Examination at that University for the 
 Degree of Master of Arts and shall have been placed in the First or 
 the Second Class in that Examination, shall be deemed to have taken 
 Honours as required. 
 
 UNIVERSITY OF CALCUTTA. Any member of the University of 
 Calcutta who shall have passed the Examination at that University 
 for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, and shall have been placed in the 
 First Division in two or more subjects of that Examination, shall be 
 deemed to have taken Honours as required. 
 
 UNIVERSITY OF MADRAS. Any member of the University of 
 Madras who shall have passed the Examination at that University for

 the Punjab who shall have passed the Examination at that University 
 for the Degree of Master of Arts, and shall have been placed in the 
 First or the Second Class in that Examination, shall be deemed to

 UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. 
 
 The University of Cambridge confers Degrees on Students 
 in Arts (including Mathematics, Classics, Moral Sciences, 
 Natural Sciences, Theology, History, Oriental Languages, 
 Mediaeval and Modern Languages, Mechanical Sciences, and 
 
2b 
 
 Economics), also in Divinity, Law, Medicine and Surgery, and 
 Music. It also confers Diplomas in Geography, Mining, 
 Tropical Medicine, Public Health, Education, and Agricultural 
 Science. 
 
 Several of the Triposes are divided into two parts, and a 
 Degree can in some cases be obtained by passing the first part 
 only. In Mathematics both parts must be passed for a Degree, 
 or Part I. of Mathematics and Part II. of Natural Science may 
 be taken. Similarly a degree may be obtained by taking two 
 parts of two different Triposes ; e.g., Part I. of History, and 
 Part II. of Law. 
 
 The following are the main conditions for obtaining the 
 Degree of Bachelor of Arts, under the three heads of A, 
 Residence ; B, Examination ; C, Regulations for Affiliated 
 Institutions ; D, Expenses. 
 
 A. RESIDENCE. 
 
 In order to obtain the B.A., or speaking generally, any 
 -other Degree, it is necessary to have resided in Cambridge as 
 a member of the University for the prescribed period. The 
 period of residence is measured by Terms i.e., divisions of the 
 year during which University business is carried on. There 
 are three Terms in each year, called respectively the Michael- 
 mas, the Lent, and the Easter Terms, which must include 
 collectively at least 227 days, and the Student in Arts must in 
 .general " keep " by residence at least nine of these Terms ; but 
 it is sufficient for this purpose to have resided during three 
 fourths of the Term, and the public lectures are generally 
 arranged to cover about that period or rather more, averaging 
 therefore from eight to nine weeks per Term, or about half 
 the year. Residence at the University out of Term time not 
 only does not count for the Degree, but is actually forbidden to 
 Students, unless it be by special permission, or in the house of 
 a parent or guardian. Permission is freely given, for certain 
 parts of the Vacation, to Students of good character who bona- 
 fide desire it for purposes of study. In the case of Students 
 coming from " affiliated" Colleges elsewhere, residence for two 
 years or more in such College is accepted as an equivalent for 
 the first three terms of University residence. During the Long 
 Vacation (in the months of July and August), it is usual to 
 allow a certain number of Students reading for Honours to re- 
 .side within the precincts of the College for a period of from 
 -six to seven weeks. 
 
 In order that the residence of a Student may be recog- 
 nised it is necessary for him to be " matriculated " i.e., 
 
2 7 
 
 formally enrolled as a member of the University ; and it is 
 usual, but not indispensable, to be admitted also as a member 
 of one of the seventeen Colleges which are represented as such 
 in the Government of the University. Such membership does- 
 not necessarily imply actual residence within the walls of the 
 College ; but those Collegiate Students who by choice or 
 necessity reside outside can only* do so in lodgings licensed 
 by the University, and are required to be present at dinner in 
 the College Hall, at such College Lectures as the tutor may 
 prescribe, and also, unless specially exempted as not being 
 members of the Church of England, at some of the services 
 at the College Chapel. The restraints on remaining out late 
 at night are the- same in -lodgings as in College, .the lodging- 
 house keeper being required to report the hour at which the- 
 Student comes in. 
 
 Those Students who do not belong to a regular College are 
 classed as Non-Collegiate, and are subject to the control of a 
 University officer, called the Censor. They must reside 
 either (i) with parents or guardians, or (2) in lodgings licensed 
 by the University, or (3) in a private hostel, recognised as 
 such by the University, and managed by a member of the 
 Senate. 
 
 Applications for admission in October should be sent to 
 the Tutor of a College in the preceding month of May. 
 
 B . EXAMINATIONS. 
 
 i. PASS. 
 
 The series of examinations which must be undergone by 
 a Student who simply desires to qualify for a B.A. Degree, 
 without aspiring to any honorary distinction, are as follows : 
 
 I. The Previous Examination, or Little-go, is divided 
 into three Parts, and is held four times a year. A student may- 
 take all three Parts together or separately. Failure in any one- 
 does not affect the other two parts. The Examination should, 
 if possible, be passed in the first term of residence. At many 
 Colleges, if it is not passed within a year after matriculation, 
 the Student is not allowed to remain at the University. The 
 subjects of the Previous Examination are : 
 
 PART I. (i) One Gospel in the original Greek or a Greek 
 classic. (2) One Latin classic. (3) One Greek classic. (4) 
 Unseen passages from some Latin author, the use of a dic- 
 tionary being allowed. (5) Latin and Greek accidence and 
 syntax. 
 
 But Indian Students may be examined in certain English 
 books instead of papers (i) and (3), and may write an English

 2. HONOURS. 
 
 Indian Students usually try to graduate in Honours. The 
 examinations for Honours are called Triposes, and the branches 
 of study for which there are separate Triposes are the follow- 
 ing : Mathematics ; Classics i.e., the Languages, Literature, 
 and History of Greece and Rome ; Moral Sciences ; Natural 
 Sciences ; Theology ; Law ; History ; Oriental Languages, of 
 which the subjects are Hebrew, Aramaic (Eastern and 
 Western), Arabic, Sanskrit and Persian ; Grammars of the 
 Semitic and Indo-European Languages ; and the Comparative 
 Mediaeval and Modern Languages, Mechanical Sciences, and 
 Economics. Some of these Triposes consist of a single Exam- 
 ination ; others are divided into Parts. 
 
 In each Tripos, or in the separate parts of each Tripos, the 
 candidates who are considered to deserve Honours are arranged 
 in classes according to merit, and in some cases the members 
 of each class are arranged in the like order. A place in any 
 class in the last or only part of any Tripos entitles to a B.A. 
 Degree, and a place in any class in both parts of the Law 
 Tripos, or in one part after taking honours in any other Tripos, 
 entitles the candidate also to the degree of Bachelor of Laws 
 (LL.B.) instead of or in addition to the B.A. 
 
 But even if a Tripos candidate fails to obtain a place in the 
 Class List, he may still be admitted to the B.A. degree without 
 further Examination, if the Examiners consider that he has 
 acquitted himself sufficiently well to deserve a degree without 
 Honours ; or for a lower standard of proficiency he may be 
 excused the General Examination, but required to pass one of 
 the Special Examinations for the ordinary degree. In addition 
 to these University Examinations, a Candidate for Honours, 
 who belongs to any College, is almost always required by the 
 College authorities to have his knowledge tested at intervals by 
 Examinations conducted under their supervision, or sometimes 
 by joint arrangement among several Colleges. 
 
 The Examination for the Law Tripos consists of two 
 Parts- 
 Part I. includes (i) General Jurisprudence ; (2) History 
 and General Principles of Roman Law ; (3) and (4) Institutes 
 of Gaius and Justinian ; and a portion of the Digest ; (5) Eng- 
 lish Constitutional Law and History ; (6) Public International 
 Law ; (7) Essays. 
 
 Part II. includes (i) and (2) The English Law of Real and 
 Personal Property ; (3) and (4) The English Law of Contract 
 
30 
 
 and Torts; (5) English. Criminal Law and Procedure and 
 Evidence ; (6) Essays. 
 
 Candidates who pass in Part I. are excused from the Bar 
 Examination in Roman Law. 
 
 Students may keep their Terms at an Jnn of Court whilst 
 they are at College, so that" they can be called to the Bar at 
 the same time that they take their Degree, if they can afford 
 time for passing the Law Examination during their University 
 course. 
 
 A Student who obtains Honours in both parts of the Law 
 Tripos is entitled to the LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws) Degree. 
 
 C. GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR AFFILIATED INSTITUTIONS.

 t The fee on admission to the Examination in the Additional Subjects of the 
 Previous Examination is i 55., and to one or any number of Tripos Examination is 
 3, making the total cost of an Honour Degree 18 153. 
 
 II. COST OF INSTRUCTION. 
 
 Of the public lectures provided by the University, some 
 may be attended without any fee ; if any fee is charged, it is 
 either i is. or 2 2s. per Term. Students of Natural Sciences 
 have, in addition, Laboratory fees to pay ; these vary from 
 2 2s. to 6 6s. a term, according to the number of subjects 
 studied. Further instruction is provided by each College 
 for its own Students out of a fund provided by a payment 
 from each student to the College Tutor, which varies at the 
 different Colleges from 6 to S per Term. This sum also 
 covers the remuneration of the Tutor for the general super- 
 vision which he exercises over the Students. 
 
 If private tuition is required over and above the Univer- 
 sity and College Lectures, the scale of payment is fy per 
 Term (3 hours a week) ; 10 los. for the working part of 
 the Long Vacation i.e., about seven weeks during the 
 months of July and August. 
 
 III. RESIDENTIAL EXPENSES. 
 
 There are certain strictly necessary expenses for Under- 
 Graduates at Cambridge, as study, rent and College payments, 
 which amount to from 25 to 40 per Term, for those who 
 live in College. In addition to the above, allowance must be 
 made for books, groceries, and other goods supplied by trades- 
 men, as well as for pocket and travelling money and other 
 personal expenses. The expenses of Non-Collegiate Students 
 are rather less. 
 
 The expenses of a Student at Cambridge may be esti- 
 mated at from 130 to 180 a year ; but it is advisable that he 
 should have as much as 180 in order to gain the full benefit 
 
33 
 
 of College life. As the vacations cover nearly half the year,, 
 it is desirable that an Indian Student studying at Cambridge 
 should have an allowance of from 270 to 300. 
 
 Students are recommended to become members of the 
 Boat and Cricket and other College Clubs, the Union Society r 
 etc. The subscriptions (exclusive of entrance fees), all taken 
 together, amount to 5 or 6 per annum. 
 
 INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE CANDIDATES. The subjects pre- 
 scribed for the Open Competitive Examination are all included 
 in one or other of the Cambridge Triposes. A Candidate for 
 the former may conveniently be preparing at the same time for 
 a Tripos, in the one, or two, subjects on which he intends to 
 rely PRINCIPALLY for the I.C.S., and for these principal sub- 
 jects the regular University lectures will be suitable, * As 
 regards the SUBSIDIARY subjects, which he intends to take-up 
 for the I.C.S., but not for a Tripos, special instruction in some 
 subjects is provided by the Board of I.C.S. Studies. Instruc- 
 tion in other subjects is provided by the Colleges for the 
 same purpose. The University provides instruction for Pro- 
 bationers in all the subjects prescribed for the further 
 Examination. At all the Colleges a portion of the College 
 Tuition Fee is remitted to selected Candidates, or applied 
 towards the expenses of their special Lectures, either uncondi- 
 tionally, or at the discretion of the authorities in each parti- 
 cular case. At several of the Colleges, Scholarships and 
 Exhibitions are awarded on the ground of distinction in the 
 Open Competitive Examination. Statements as to the 
 Cambridge arrangements for both Examinations are printed 
 every year by the Board of I.C.S. Studies, and can be obtained 
 from the Secretary, Mr. H. A. Roberts, M.A., University 
 Offices, Cambridge.

 range from 7 73. to 18 i8s. 
 
 The Examination is held each year in January, June, and 
 September. 
 
 Diplomas of Degrees granted by recognised Indian 
 Universities entitle the holder thereof to registration as 
 Matriculated Students without . further Examination. 
 
 Persons of nineteen years of age and upwards who 
 present foreign Certificates, or Indian Certificates other 
 than Diplomas of Degrees granted by recognised Indian 
 Universities, from an Academical or other educational autho- 
 rity, which indicate that they have attained a standard, 
 primd facie, -equal to that of the Matriculation Examination, 
 may apply for Examination before the Board of Moderators 
 instead of at the Matriculation Examination. This Examina- 
 tion can only be. held at the University in London. The 
 Board will take, into account the Certification that the Can- 
 didate has presented, or any Examination that he has passed ; 
 but no Candidate will be accepted without viva-voce Examina- 
 tion. There.will.be no Syllabus, and the Board will apply 
 any test they may 'consider necessary in the case of any 
 
35 
 
 Candidate ; it will not, however, be considered necessary 
 to adhere strictly to the list of subjects included in the Matri- 
 culation Examination. Special importance will be attached 
 to the degree of proficiency displayed by the Candidate 
 in the English Language. The Certificate for passing this 
 Examination will be accepted by the University in lieu of 
 the Matriculation Examination Certificate. There are no 
 partial exemptions from the Matriculation Examination. 
 
 Candidates for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, or of 
 Science, or of Medicine, or of Laws, are required to have 
 passed the Matriculation Examination, and to pass Two (in

 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. 
 
 By the University College Transfer Act (1905), University 
 College was on January ist, 1907, incorporated in the Univer- 
 sity of London. 
 
 This College is situated in Gower Street, W.C., near the 
 Gower Street Metropolitan Station. It is r on-resident. 
 
 The Session is divided into Three Terms, beginning early 
 in October. 
 
 The purpose of the College is to afford at a moderate ex- 
 pense the means of education in Literature, Science, and the 
 Fine Arts, and in the knowledge required for admission to the 
 medical and legal professions, and in particular for affording 
 the means of obtaining the education required for taking the 
 .Degrees now or hereafter granted by the University of London. 
 
 The curriculum of each Student must be settled after 
 
36 
 
 consultation with the respective Professors, and must be 
 approved by the respective Faculties. 
 
 The College arranges for Undergraduates courses and for 
 Intermediate, Pass and Honour Courses in the Faculties of 
 Arts, Science, Medicine, Economics, Laws, and Engineering, 
 also for Post-graduate courses for M.A., D.Sc., etc., and for 
 Research work. 
 
 Both Men and Women Students are admitted as Students, 
 without previous Examination, to any class or classes they 
 may select. 
 
 The Secretary of State for India has acceded to a request 
 that Selected candidates for the Civil Service of India may 
 pass their probationary period at University College, residing 
 with their parents, or with some suitable person sanctioned by 
 the Council, on the understanding that such person will under- 
 take responsibility for the conduct of the Candidates who may 
 study at University College, and enforce rules of discipline 
 upon them. 
 
 There are Junior as well as Senior Classes of many sub- 
 jects ; and for all the scientific subjects there are museums and 
 laboratories where students work under the direction of the 
 Professors. 
 
 FEES. Preliminary Scientific Course, Part I., London 
 University, 26 guineas. 
 
 Preliminary Scientific Part II. and Intermediate Medi- 
 cine, 58 guineas if paid in one sum, 63 guineas if paid in two 
 instalments. 
 
 For the Medical Examination required by the Examining 
 Board in England, and by the Society of Apothecaries' First 
 Examination. Parts I., II., III., 21 guineas. First Examina- 
 tion, Part IV., and Second Examination, 58 guineas if paid in 
 one sum, 63 guineas if paid in two instalments. 
 
 The fees range from Two to Twelve Guineas the Session 
 for each Class. 
 
 The Faculty of Engineering, including the departments 
 of Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, and Municipal Engineering, 
 is intended to provide a systematic training in the applica- 
 tion of scientific principles to industrial purposes. The 
 education given in the Departments in this Faculty is not 
 intended to supersede such necessary practical training as 
 can only properly be acquired in the office, workshop, or 
 factory. 
 
 Students are, however, advised to pass the Matriculation 
 Examination of the University of London before entering the 
 College, in order that they may take the course for the B.Sc. 
 
37 
 
 Engineering Degree or the B.A. Honours Architecture Degree, 
 Each of these Courses extends normally over three years from 
 Matriculation. 
 
 Curricula have been arranged for the different branches 
 of ENGINEERING ; unless there are strong reasons to the 
 contrary, it is advisable that one or other of these curricula 
 should be attended. But in all cases it is especially advisable 
 that the Student should consult one of the professors before 
 deciding what Classes to attend. 
 
 The curricula mentioned above include not only instruc- 
 tion in Applied Science, but also such preliminary instruction 
 in Pure Science (especially in Mathematics, Physics, and 
 Chemistry) as a Student ought to have before proceeding to 
 study its applications. The study of Modern languages is 
 not specially included in any of them, but the importance 
 of these subjects to the Student in this Department is ex- 
 ceedingly great, and it may therefore be often advisable 
 that some time should be given to them. 
 
 LAW CLASSES. The Course of Instruction in these Classes 
 is specially adapted for Students preparing for the LL.B, 
 Degree in the University of London, for certain of the Bar and 
 Inns of Court (Honours) Examinations, and for the Indian 
 Civil Service Examinations. 
 
 The subjects include Roman Law, Jurisprudence, Con- 
 stitutional Law and History, and Comparative Law. 
 
 THE INDIAN SCHOOL CLASSES are chiefly in aid of prepara- 
 tion for the Periodical Examinations of selected Candidates for 
 the Indian Civil Service. They include Indian Law, Sanskrit, 
 Arabic, Persian, and the chief Indian Vernaculars ; also His- 
 tory of India.

 Indian Sociology, &c. 
 
 Intending Students can take up any one or more of these 
 Courses of Lectures, on payment of a small fee. It is thought 
 that some of these courses may attract Indian Students whose 
 professional studies do not absorb the whole of their time. 
 
 The College provides for all classes without any distinc- 
 tion, opportunities and encouragement for pursuing a regular 
 and liberal course of education of the highest grade and quality 
 in the various branches of knowledge dealt with by the Institu- 
 tion, and especially those prescribed or required by the 
 University of London from time to time. 
 
 It supplies liberal courses of education specially adapted to 
 the needs of persons who are, or who intend to be, engaged in 
 any kind of administration, banking, or international trade. 
 
The Lectures are so arranged that Students can pursue a 
 full University Course, extending over not less than three years, 
 and including all the subjects required for the B.Sc. and D.Sc. 
 Degrees in the Faculty of Economics and Political Science.

 THE SCOTCH UNIVERSITIES. 
 
 (EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, ST. ANDREW'S, AND ABERDEEN.) 
 
 The Curriculum for the Degree of Master of Arts (M.A.) is 
 the same at all these Universities, with a few variations, and 
 extends over 3 academic years. 
 
 Before entering on the Curriculum, the Student has to 
 pass a preliminary examination in (i) English ; (2) Latin or 
 Greek ; (3) Mathematics ; (4) One of the following : Latin or 
 Greek (if not already taken) ; French, German, Italian (or 
 such other language as the Senatus Academicus may approve), 
 Dynamics. There is a Higher and Lower Standard in Latin, 
 Greek and Mathematics, and candidates must pass on the 
 Higher Standard in at least one of these three subjects. 
 The preliminary examination is held twice every year, 
 beginning in March and September. Fee, los. 6d. In the 
 case of a Student whose native language is other than Euro- 
 pean, such language may be accepted as a substitute for a 
 modern European language ; and Sanskrit or Arabic may be 
 accepted as an alternative for Latin or Greek. A Joint Board 
 of Examiners, which controls and supervises the preliminary 
 examinations, is appointed annually by the University 
 Courts of the four Scottish Universities, and the Board 
 sits for a year at each University in rotation. The Board 
 deals with applications for exemption from the whole or part 
 of the preliminary examinations on the ground of passes in 
 equivalent Examinations. Exemptions : Indian Students 
 who present evidence that they have passed examinations 
 which would admit them to Universities in India are exempted, 
 provided (i) that the evidence shows that they possess a 
 knowledge of English sufficient to follow the lectures with 
 profit ; (2) that before attending any Class in English, any 
 other Language, Mathematics or Natural Philosophy they 
 shall produce evidence of having passed the examination in 
 this subject on a certain standard (generally, the higher 
 standard) ; and (3) that candidates for degrees in Engineering 
 shall produce evidence of a knowledge of Mathematics equiva- 
 lent to the standard of Higher Mathematics in the Preliminary

 fication for appointment of Assistant Engineers to the per- 
 manent establishment of the Public Works Department of 
 India, and as exempting from the examination of the Insti- 
 tution of Civil Engineers for Associate Membership. 
 
 In MECHANICAL ENGINEERING the training throughout 
 the course is largely practical and experimental in its char- 
 acter ; the University Workshops, consisting of Forge, 
 Foundry, Machine Shop and Pattern-making Shop, are very 
 extensive, and equipped with the most modern tools. 
 
 In the latter part of the course attention is directed to 
 experimental work in the Engineering Laboratories, which are 
 fitted with modern appliances for demonstration of the 
 principles underlying engineering practice. 
 
 In CIVIL ENGINEERING, the courses of study are carried on 
 by Lectures, Workshop, Drawing, Laboratory, Exercises, and 
 Field Work, the object being to give the Student a thorough 
 training, both theoretical and practical, in those subjects, a 
 knowledge of which is necessary in the practice of the profes- 
 sion of Civil Engineering. 
 
 In ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, the course for Students is 
 the same as that for Mechanical Engineering for the first two 
 years, and only differs in the third and fourth years in the 
 increased time spent in the Electrical Engineering Laboratory, 
 and on the design of examples of Electrical Machinery Appa- 
 ratus and Installations. 
 
 Candidates may obtain the Degree of Bachelor of Science 
 in METALLURGY or MINING after attendance on prescribed 
 courses of study extending over a period of at least three 
 years after Matriculation, and passing examinations at the end 
 of each year. For the Mining Degree candidates are further re- 
 quired to have practical experience in a Mine for at least two 
 months in each year, or to have had at least four months 
 
4 8 
 
 of such experience before entering on their courses in the

 classes are, in many cases, suited to students who are preparing 
 for the Examinations of the University of London. 
 
 The course of instruction in COMMERCE extends over two 
 years and leads up to the Diploma of the University. It in- 
 cludes French or German, Economics, Geography, Account- 
 ancy, Mathematics, Commercial Law, etc., and a short tech- 
 nical course. 
 
 The LAW DEPARTMENT affords systematic instruction for 
 intending Barristers and Solicitors. 
 
 The CHEMISTRY course includes Inorganic, Organic, Prac- 
 tical, and Applied Chemistry. A practical course in Sanitary 
 Chemistry is arranged on the lines laid down by the General 
 Medical Council and to suit the requirements of Medical 
 Officers of Health. 
 
 The course of instruction in CIVIL AND MECHANICAL 
 ENGINEERING extends over three sessions, and comprises 
 lectures on Engineering Principles and Works ; Instruction in 
 Machine and Geometrical Drawing; Experimental work in 
 the Engineering Laboratory. It does not supersede the usual 
 routine of engineering works and offices. 
 
 It is very desirable that all students should have some 
 practical experience in engineering works before taking the 
 University course. 
 
 The courses of instruction in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 
 are adapted to those who propose to take the B.Sc. Degree ; 
 for those who are preparing for the University Diploma ; or 
 for those who desire to attend a special part of the courses. 
 
 The Department of TEXTILE INDUSTRIES comprises the 
 following branches : (A) Woollen Yarn Manufacture ; (B) 
 Worsted Yarn Manufacture ; (c) Designing, Colouring and 
 Weaving ; (D) Finishing of Textile Fabrics. 
 
 Part of the work of the Department is carried out in con- 
 junction with that of the Dyeing Department, so that the whole 
 routine of Textile production from the raw material to the 
 finished fabric may be as practically learned at the Univer- 
 sity as in the mill. The scheme of teaching, as it relates to 
 mechanical operations, is devised to give as varied an experi- 
 
50 
 
 ence in Spinning and Textile Manufacturing as is possible, and 
 also to supplement in an efficient way the Lecture Courses of 
 Study. The Spinning Buildings are equipped with the newest 
 machinery, in the weaving sheds there are 116 looms affording 
 unique facilities for experiments in design, weaving and colour- 
 ing of all classes of fabrics ; the Finishing Shed contains 
 machinery for scouring, milling, cutting and pressing ; the 
 Textile Museum has a valuable collection of woven and other 
 specimens, to which Students have access. 
 
 There are Special Classes for those who wish to specialise 
 in Design and Ornament for decorated fabrics. 
 
 The Department of DYEING includes courses for practical 
 dyers, or masters of dye-works, and instruction relating to the 
 chemistry of colouring matters and their manufacture. The 
 full course is for three years, but shorter courses are open to 
 Students who cannot remain for the full time. 
 
 LEATHER INDUSTRIES. The object of the course of study 
 in this department is, first, to familiarise students with the 
 details of the tanning process ; methods of chemical and 
 microscopic analysis are also taught and practised ; and in 
 the latter part of the course students are given the oppor- 
 tunity to take part in the practical production of leathers in 
 which they are interested, and to study the smaller details of 
 the processes. Particular attention is paid to leather dyeing 
 and the manufacture of coloured leathers. 
 
 The courses of study include : 
 
 1. A course for the degree of B.Sc. in the Honours 
 School of Applied Chemistry (Chemistry of Leather Manu- 
 facture.) 
 
 2. A course for the ordinary degree of B.Sc. 
 
 3. A course for the diploma in Leather Manufacture. 
 Shorter courses will be arranged for students who cannot 
 
 afford the necessary time for a degree or diploma course, but 
 in no case can a student be allowed to work in the Leather 
 Industries laboratories until he has satisfied the Professor 
 that he has the requisite preliminary training in chemistry. 
 Some previous acquaintance with actual leather manufacture is 
 very desirable before taking the University courses. 
 
 The diploma course is suitable for those who intend to 
 become technical managers in leather works, and is recom- 
 mended to those who require a practical knowledge of the 
 science and technology of the industry, but are unable to take a 
 degree course. 
 
 There are also advanced courses in Tanning, Leather dye- 
 ing and staining, and Practical Microscopy and Bacteriology. 
 
The fees for the B.A. Courses amount to about 16 a year ; 
 for the B.Sc. Courses to about 25 a year ; in the Department 
 of Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mining, for a full 
 year's course in each, about 30 ; and in the Department of 
 Textile Industries, Dyeing and Tinctorial Chemistry, and 
 Leather Industries about 25.

 factors. He should, whenever possible, consult a more ex- 
 perienced friend before joining any of them. The Composi- 
 tion Fees vary at different hospitals from 121 to about 170, 
 but a good margin over and above this should be allowed for 
 instruments and extras.

 The following Provincial Universities have separate 
 faculties of Medicine, with special facilities for Clinical Studies 
 in their respective local Hospitals, Oxford, Cambridge, Wales 
 (Cardiff), Birmingham, Bristol, Durham, Leeds, Liverpool, 
 the Victoria University of Manchester, Sheffield ; and, in 
 addition most of the provincial Hospitals of over 150 beds are 
 available for Clinical Study. 
 
 The following provincial hospitals are especially recognised 
 by the English Royal Colleges for a part of the required 
 attendance on medical and surgical practice for Medical Clerk- 
 ships and Surgical dresserships :

 OTHER ENGLISH MEDICAL SCHOOLS. 
 UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD. 
 
 There are two Degrees in Medicine (B.M. and D.M.) and 
 two Degrees in Surgery (B.Ch. and M.Ch.). The Degrees 
 B.M. and B.Ch., may, under favourable circumstances, be 
 obtained in six or seven years from Matriculation. They 
 are conferred only on candidates who have taken the B.A. 
 Degree, for which residence for three years within the Univer- 
 sity is necessary ; the examinations, however, for the degrees 
 in Arts and Medicine may be passed in any order, provided 
 the regulations are complied with. The most convenient 
 course for the B.A. Degree for intending graduates in Medicine 
 is to take Responsions, the Preliminary Science Examinations, 
 and the Final Honour School of Physiology. 
 
 UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. 
 
 Most of the Medical Students who desire to take the 
 Bachelor of Medicine Degree (M.B.) of this University take 
 first the Natural Sciences Tripos, or some other Tripos, for 
 which residence for three years within the University is neces- 
 sary. 
 
 Cambridge is now a complete School of Medicine. All 
 the requisite Lectures and Hospital practice may be attended 
 there. For the M.B. Degree five years study is required. 
 
 The Medical Degrees conferred are : Bachelor of Medi- 
 
7 o 
 
 cine (M.B.) , and Bachelor of Surgery (B.C.) ; also Doctor of 
 Medicine, and Master of Surgery. 
 
 Full information can be obtained from " The Cambridge 
 University Calendar." 
 
 UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM. 
 
 The University of Durham grants six degrees in the Medical 
 Faculty M.B. , M.D., B.S., M.S., B.Hy., D.Hy. The Degrees 
 of M.D., B.S., and M.S. are granted only to M.B. graduates 
 of the University. The Degrees of B.Hy. and D.Hy. are 
 granted under certain conditions to graduates in medicine of 
 recognised Universities. The University also grants a diploma 
 in Public Health. These degrees are open both to men and 
 women. 
 
 DOCTOR OF MEDICINE (M.D.) (without residence). The 
 University of Durham has instituted a special examination 
 whereby the degree of Doctor of Medicine may be obtained 
 without residence. Candidates shall not be under 40 years of 
 age and shall have been in active practice for 15 years as regis- 
 tered medical practitioners. They shall produce certificates 
 of moral character from three registered members of the 
 medical profession, and if they have not passed an examina- 
 tion in Arts previously to the Professional Examination in 
 virtue of which they have been placed on the Register, they 
 shall be required to pass in Classics and Mathematics. Can- 
 didates who have passed an examination in Arts previously 
 to being placed on the Register are required to pass an examina- 
 tion in Latin. They will be examined in the Principles and 
 Practice of Medicine, including Psychological Medicine, 
 Hygiene, and Therapeutics, the Principles and Practice of 
 Surgery, Midwifery, and Diseases of Women and Children,

 UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS. 
 
 The Degrees granted in the Medical Faculty of this Uni- 
 versity are Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery 
 (M.B. and Ch.B.), Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), and Master of 
 Surgery (Ch.M.). Candidates must pass the Matriculation 
 Examination, but exemption from the Examination may be 
 
7* 
 
 granted to applicants holding certificates of having passed 
 examinations of a standard deemed by the Matriculation 
 Board to be at least equal to the Board's Examination. 
 
 Candidates for the M.B. must have attended courses of 
 instruction approved by the University for not less than five 
 years, two at least of such years having been passed in the 
 University subsequently to the date of passing the First 
 Examination. 
 
 The Medical School forms the teaching centre of the 
 Medical Faculty of the University of Leeds, and is situated in 
 immediate proximity to the General Infirmary where Students 
 sufficiently advanced receive their clinical instruction. The 
 buildings were opened in 1894, and contain excellent dissecting 
 rooms, several well- arranged laboratories for Physiology, 
 Pathology, and Bacteriology, three lecture theatres, and 
 several smaller classrooms. In addition there are a library 
 ,and reading room and two museums, one being devoted to 
 Pathology and the other to Anatomy. The comfort of the 
 students is secured by a common-room and a refectory in 
 which they can take meals. It is estimated by the authorities 
 that the approximate cost of medical education to a Student 
 in this University is 188, plus, of course, the expenses of 
 living during the five years covered by the curriculum. The 
 General Infirmary has 482 beds in constant use, and includes 
 gynaecological and ophthalmic wards and a large new out- 
 patient department. The Ida Semi-Convalescent Hospital 
 .and Robert Arthington Hospital, Cookridge, attached to the 
 Infirmary, has over 40 beds. The West Riding Lunatic 
 Asylum at Wakefield is open for the study of Mental Diseases. 
 Students can, in addition, attend the practice of the Leeds 
 Public Dispensary (where the practical instruction in dental 
 subjects is also given), the City Fever Hospitals (100 beds), 
 the Hospital for Women and Children, and the Leeds Maternity 
 Home. 
 
 Further information may be obtained from the Dean. 
 
 THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM grants the degrees 
 of M.B., Ch.B., M.D., Ch.M. The course for the Bachelor 
 degrees extends over five years, from the date of registration 
 with the General Medical Council. As a rule the first four 
 of these years must be spent in the University, but the Senate 
 has power of recognising attendance at another University 
 as part of the attendance qualifying for these degrees, and of 
 recognising examinations passed at such other Universities as 
 exempting from the examinations in Chemistry, Physics, and 
 Elementary Biology. In the case of such students at least 
 
72 
 
 three years must be spent in attendance upon classes at the 
 University. The fifth year may be spent at any school or 
 Schools of Medicine recognised by the University. 
 
 THE UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL. Students must pass 
 either the University Matriculation examination or some 
 other approved examination. The course of professional 
 study subsequent to passing the Matriculation Examination 
 and having been registered as a medical student extends 
 over five years, and candidates for the degree of M.B., Ch.B.,. 
 must pass at least two of the five years of medical study in 
 the University, and one year at least must have been passed 
 in the University subsequent to the date of passing the first 
 examination. No candidate will be admitted to the degrees 
 of M.D., Ch.M., unless he has previously received the degrees 
 of M.B., Ch.B., and at least one year has elapsed since he 
 passed the examinations for those degrees. 
 
 VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER. Four degrees 
 in Medicine and Surgery are conferred by the University, viz., 
 M.B., Ch.B., M.D., Ch.M. : all candidates for such degrees are 
 required to pass the Matriculation Examination or to have 
 passed such other examination as may be recognised by the 
 University for this purpose. Candidates for the degrees of 
 M.B., Ch.B., must have pursued a course of study acquired 
 at the University during a period of not less than five years, 
 subsequent to the date of their registration by the General 
 Medical Council, two of such years having been passed in the 
 University and one year at least having been passed in the 
 University subsequent to the date of passing the first M.B. 
 examination. 
 
 The degree of M.D. is conferred upon candidates who have 
 received the degrees of M.B. and Ch.B. after at least one year 
 has elapsed since they passed the examination for those 
 degrees. The degree of Ch.M. is conferred in like manner.

 study extending over at least five years, three of such years 
 having been passed in the University, and one year in the 
 University subsequent to the date of passing the first 
 examination. 
 
 THE UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL. The medical degrees of 
 this University are similar to those in other Universities. 
 The regulations for obtaining such have not yet been pub- 
 
73 
 
 lished, but they will doubtless be on the lines found in other 
 provincial Universities. 
 
 THE SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES. 
 
 (EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, ABERDEEN, ST. ANDREWS.) 
 
 The regulations of all these Universities are the same for 
 Medical Degrees. Two of the five years of medical study 
 must, however, be spent in the University from which the 
 candidate takes his degree. The following regulations of the 
 University of Edinburgh may be taken as an example of all 
 the Scotch Universities. 
 
 Every Student, before commencing his medical studies, is 
 required to pass a Preliminary Examination in (i) English, 
 (2) Latin, (3) Elementary Mathematics, and (4) Greek or 
 French or German ; but an Indian Student may substitute 
 any other classical language for Latin or Greek, and his native 
 language for French or German. EXEMPTIONS : Indian Stu- 
 dents who present evidence that they have passed examina- 
 tions which would admit them to Universities in India will be 
 exempted, provided that the evidence shows that they 
 possess a knowledge of English sufficient to follow the lectures 
 with profit, and provided that the examinations in India 
 include all the four subjects stated above ; e.g., the Matricula- 
 tion or Entrance Examination of an Indian University does 
 not exempt unless the candidate has passed in two languages ; 
 if an Indian student has passed in one language only, in India, 
 he must undergo examination in a second language in Scot- 
 land. 
 
 The Medical Council has ruled that the Preliminary 
 Examination must be passed before attendance at any medical 
 lectures can be counted. 
 
 All Students are required to Matriculate before they can 
 be enrolled in any of the Classes in the University. Matricula- 
 tion consists in inscribing the name in the Students' Album, 
 and paying an annual entrance fee of i. 
 
 Medical Study may be begun either in October (Winter 
 Session) or in May (Summer Session). 
 
 No one is admitted to the degrees of BACHELOR OF 
 MEDICINE and BACHELOR OF SURGERY who has not been en- 
 gaged in Medical and Surgical Study for five years. 
 
 Two of the five years of medical study must be spent in the 
 University of Edinburgh. The remaining three years may be 
 spent in any University of the United Kingdom, or in any 
 Indian, Colonial, or Foreign University recognised for the pur- 
 pose by the University Court. Of the subjects of study, 
 
74 
 
 16 in number viz., Anatomy, Practical Anatomy, Chemistry, 
 Practical Chemistry, Materia Medica, Physiology, Prac- 
 tical Physiology, Practice of Medicine, Surgery, Midwifery 
 and Diseases of Women, Pathology, Practical Pathol- 
 ogy, Physics, Botany, Zoology, Medical Jurisprudence, and 
 Public Health not less than eight must be taken in the 
 University of Edinburgh or in some other University of the 
 United Kingdom, or in some Foreign or Colonial University 
 entitled to confer the Degree of Doctor of Medicine, recognised 
 for the purpose by the University Court. 
 
 Candidates for Degrees must have attended for at least 
 three academic years the medical and surgical practice of a 
 general hospital which accommodates not fewer than 80 
 patients and possesses a distinct staff of physicians and 
 surgeons. They must have attended Clinical Surgery during 
 a course or courses extending over not less than nine months, 
 and a similar course of Clinical Medicine during not less than 
 nine months. The Candidate must have attended a course of 
 instruction in Mental Diseases, consisting of not less than 
 six class-room meetings for lectures and demonstrations and 
 ten meetings in the Wards of a recognised Asylum for the 
 Insane ; he must have attended a course of 25 meetings on 
 Practical Pharmacy in a University or recognised School of 
 Medicine, or have dispensed drugs for a period of three months 
 in a hospital or dispensary, or in an establishment recognised 
 by the Pharmaceutical Society ; he must have attended for at 
 least six months the out-practice of a hospital, or the practice 
 of a dispensary, or of a qualified practitioner. He must have 
 acted as clerk in the medical wards and dresser in the surgical 
 wards of a public hospital for a period of six months in each 
 case ; and must also have availed himself of opportunities of

 All the Degrees of the Scottish Universities are open 
 to women, who are admitted to graduation in medicine under 
 practically the same conditions as men. The Medical College 
 for Women, 30, Chambers Street,- Edinburgh, has been recog- 
 nised as a Medical School whose courses of instruction qualify 
 for graduation. 
 
 The Fees for the four divisions of the Examinations are 
 respectively, 6 guineas, 5 guineas, 4 guineas and 7 guineas, in 
 all 23 2s. 
 
 Attendance in Medical Classes in India is accepted as 
 qualifying for Degrees in Medicine. But it is important that 
 Indian Students should ascertain whether the courses that 
 the> have attended in India contained the prescribed number 
 of Lectures. If not, the deficiency will have to be supplied. 
 
 The M.D. Degree is conferred on Candidates who have 
 obtained the Degrees of M.B. and Ch.B., and are twenty-four 
 years of age, and who can produce certain certificates of 
 clinical work. They have to submit a Thesis on a medical 
 subject. Fee for M.D., 10 los. Fee for Ch.M., 10 los. 
 
 Any further information relative to the courses of Medical 
 Instruction, and the regulations for Degrees can be obtained 
 from the Dean, Medical Faculty of the respective Universities.

 THE ROYAL COLLEGES OF SURGEONS AND 
 PHYSICIANS OF EDINBURGH, AND FACULTY OF 
 PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS OF GLASGOW. 
 
 The Royal College of Physicians] of Edinburgh, the Royal 
 College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and the Faculty of Physi- 
 cians and Surgeons of Glasgow, have made arrangements by 
 which, after one series of Examinations, held in Edinburgh or 
 in Glasgow, or in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Student may 
 obtain the Diplomas of the three Bodies. 
 
 The object of the Joint Examination is to give to Students 
 facilities for obtaining, after one series of Examinations, the 
 qualifications in Medicine, Surgery and Widwifery, of the three 
 Scottish Corporations. 
 
 Students passing the Final Examination will be entitled 
 to register three Diplomas under the Medical Acts viz., 
 Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 
 Licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and 
 Licentiate of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of 
 Glasgow. 
 
 Female Candidates are admitted to the Examinations. 
 
 The three Co-operating Bodies grant their Single Quali- 
 fications only to Candidates who already possess another and 
 opposite Qualification in Medicine or Surgery, as the case may 
 be. 
 
 N.B. Under the provisions of the Medical Act of 1886, 
 these Single Qualifications do not confer the right to registra- 
 tion, except as Qualifications additional to those already on 
 the Register. 
 
 The curriculum lasts for five years ; the fifth year should 
 be devoted to clinical work at one or more Public Hospitals 
 or Dispensaries, and to the study of Special Diseases. Six 
 months of the fifth year may be passed by the Student as a 
 Pupil of a Registered practitioner possessing such oppor- 
 
8i 
 
 tunities of imparting practical knowledge as may be deemed 
 satisfactory by the Committee of Management. 
 
 Candidates for the Diplomas of the three Licensing Cor- 
 porations must have passed the complete Examination in 
 General Education, and have had their names inscribed in the 
 Register of Medical Students instituted by the General Medical 
 Council at the commencement of their professional studies. 
 Students should therefore make sure that this has been done, 
 as disappointment has sometimes arisen through ignorance or 
 neglect on the part of the Candidate of this requirement. 
 Foreign and Colonial Candidates require to be registered as 
 Students, and when they have studied at recognised institutions 
 before coming to this country, subsequent to having passed a 
 registrable preliminary examination, they are recommended 
 when they register to apply to the Registrar to have their regis- 
 tration antedated, so as to cover their course of study. 
 
 Candidates shall be subjected to four Professional Exam- 
 inations : 
 
 FIRST EXAMINATION. This shall embrace the following 
 divisions of subjects (i) Physics, (2) Chemistry, including 
 Practical Chemistry (3) Elementary Biology. Fees for the 
 whole Examination, 5 ; for each division separately, 3. 
 
 SECOND EXAMINATION. The Second Examination shall 
 embrace Anatomy and Physiology (including Histology). Can- 
 didates may be admitted at the end of the second year of 
 medical study. Fee, 5. 
 
 THIRD EXAMINATION. The Third Examination shall em- 
 brace Pathology and Materia Medica with Pharmacy. Fee, 
 
 5s- 
 
 FINAL EXAMINATION. This shall not be passed earlier 
 than the end of the fifth year of study, and shall embrace the 
 following subjects (i) Medicine, including Therapeutics, 
 Medical Anatomy, and Clinical Medicine, (2) Surgery, including 
 Surgical Anatomy, Clinical Surgery, and Diseases and injuries 
 of the Eye, (3) Midwifery, and Diseases of Women and of 
 New-born Children, and (4) Medical Jurisprudence and Public 
 Health. Fee, 15. 
 
 All Candidates shall be subjected, in addition to the 
 Written and Oral Examinations, to Clinical Examinations in 
 Medicine and Surgery, which shall include the Examination of 
 Patients, Physical Diagnosis, the Clinical Use of the Micro- 
 scope, Examination of the Urine and Urinary Deposits, Surgical 
 Appliances, Bandages, Surface Markings, etc. 
 
 Any Candidate admitted to the Final Examination on the 
 
82 
 
 footing of having passed the earlier Examinations elsewhere, 
 must nevertheless pay the full fees. 
 
 There are six periods of Examination annually, four in 
 Edinburgh and two in Glasgow. 
 
 Among the Boards whose earlier Examinations are recog- 
 nised by the Co-operating Authorities are the Universities and 
 Colleges in India and the British Colonies, whose Matricula- 
 tion Examinations have been recognised by the General 
 Medical Council, whose curriculum of professional study fulfils 
 the requirements of this Board, and whose diplomas are 
 granted upon equivalent Examination to those of this Board, 
 and entitle to practise Medicine or Surgery in the Indian or 
 Colonial dependency in which the Institution is situated. 
 
 The following are the names and addresses of the Regis- 
 trars : In Edinburgh Mr. James Robertson, Solicitor, 54,

 UNIVERSITY OF BRUSSELS. 
 
 British and other practitioners holding registrable qualifi- 
 cations are admissable for the Doctorate of the University of 
 Brussels, without any further curriculum. It is necessary, 
 however, that all candidates should leave their diplomas with

 the fees for their three examinations, and are unsuccessful in 
 the first, recover the fees paid for the second and third ; those 
 who fail in the second recover the fees paid for the third 
 examination. There are three examinations viz., ist Doc- 
 torate, 2nd Doctorate, and 3rd Doctorate. Great importance 
 is attached to practical knowledge, but Candidates must also 
 prove that they possess positive theoretical science. The 
 examinations, which are viva voce, take place on the first 
 Tuesday in November, December, February, May, and June. 
 Candidates have the option of passing each Doctorate separ- 
 ately or of taking the three at one examination. The time 
 required for the three examinations seldom exceeds ten days. 
 Saturday, before 2 p.m., is the most eligible day for arriving 
 for Candidates with whom time is an object. The examina- 
 tions are conducted in English.

 THE^DIPLOMA IN PUBLIC HEALTH. 
 
 The great value, and in many instances the necessity, 
 which now attaches to the possession of this Diploma by

 DENTAL [SURGERY. 
 
 Candidates for a Diploma in Dental Surgery must produce 
 certificates of having been engaged during four years in Pro- 
 fessional Studies, and of having received three years' instruc- 
 tion in Mechanical Dentistry from a registered Practitioner, or 
 at some Dental Hospital where instruction is given in this 
 subject. 
 
 One year's bona fide apprenticeship with a registered 
 Dental Practitioner, or one year's instruction at a Dental Hos- 
 pital, after being registered as a Dental Student, may be 
 counted as one of the years of Professional Study. The three 
 years of instruction in Mechanical Dentistry, or any part of 
 them, may be taken by the Medical Student, either before or 
 after his registration as a Student ; but no year of such 
 mechanical instruction will be counted as one of the four 
 years of professional study unless taken after registration. 
 
 Professional study prior to the date of registration as a 
 Dental Student is not recognised except in the case of Chem- 
 istry, Physics, and Practical Chemistry, and of instruction in 
 the details of Mechanical Dentistry. 
 
 Medical and Surgical Practitioners are entitled to practise 
 as Dentists, but it is of great advantage to a Dentist to take a 
 Diploma or License in Dental Surgery (L.D.S.). 
 
 The Dental Schools in London are : The Dental Hospital 
 of London ; The National Dental Hospital and College ; 
 Guy's Hospital ; and the London Hospital Dental Schools.

 ACCOUNTANTS. 
 
 INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS AND 
 SOCIETY OF ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDITORS. 
 
 There are two well-known Societies in England under 
 which Students can qualify as Accountants: The Institute of 
 Chartered Accountants and the Society of Incorporated 
 Accountants and Auditors ; ani also the Scottish Chartered 
 Societies. The courses of study for these are all the same. 
 
go 
 
 No person can present himself for the Final Examination 
 unless he has served for five years as an Articled Clerk to a 
 Public Accountant practising in England or Wales (or if he is a 
 graduate of any University of the United Kingdom for a period 
 of three years). No person who is under 16 years of age can 
 be received as an Articled Clerk by a Member of either Society, 
 neither can he be admitted to membership before he is 21. 
 
 There are a few members of the Society of Incorporated 
 Accountants and Auditors who carry on the business of 
 Public Accountants in India, to whom Indian students can be 
 articled, but they must attend in England to pass both the 
 Intermediate and Final Examinations, there being no exami- 
 nation centre in India. To become a member of the Institute 
 of Chartered Accountants or of a Scottish Chartered Society 
 a student must serve and qualify in England and Wales or 
 Scotland respectively. 
 
 Before being Articled, a Preliminary Examination as a 
 test of general education must be passed, unless one of the 
 exempting examinations has already been passed in the 
 necessary subjects. 
 
 The subjects for the Preliminary Examination of both 
 Societies are as follows : 
 
 i. Dictation and English Composition. 2. Arithmetic. 
 3. Algebra, to Quadratic Equations. 4. Euclid (the first Four

 which must be a language) : Latin, Greek, French, German, 
 Italian, Spanish, Higher Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, 
 Animal Physiology, Electricity and Magnetism, Light and 
 Heat, Geology, Stenography. 
 
 Indian Examinations are not recognised by the bye-laws 
 of the Institute of Chartered Accountants as exempting from 
 this Examination. 
 
 A copy of the list of books selected for the examination of 
 Candidates in the optional subjects will be prepared six 
 months before the Examination and can be obtained by appli- 
 cation. 
 
 An Intermediate Examination will be held after one-half 
 of the term of service. This Examination will be conducted 
 in writing in the following subjects : (i) Book-keeping and 
 Accounts (including Partnership Accounts) ; (2) Book-keeping 
 and Accounts (including Executorship Accounts) ; (3) Audit- 
 ing ; (4) The Rights and Duties of Liquidators, Trustees and 
 Receivers. 
 
 The Final Examination at the end of the Service under 
 
-Articles cannot be taken in less than two years after the In- 
 termediate Examination (except in the case of graduates of a 
 University who are only serving for three years, by whom 
 it may be taken one year after passing the Intermediate). 
 
 The Final Examination in both Societies is conducted 
 in writing in the following subjects : 
 
 (i) Book-keeping and Accounts (including Partnership 
 Accounts) ; (2) Book-keeping and Accounts (including Execu- 
 torship Accounts ; (3) Auditing ; (4) The Rights and Duties of 
 Liquidators, Trustees and Receivers ; (5) The Principles of the 
 Law of Bankruptcy, and of the Law Relating to Joint Stock 
 'Companies ; (6) The Principles of Mercantile Law, and of the 
 Law of Arbitrations and Awards. 
 
 In London premiums on Articles vary from 50 to 500 
 guineas, according to the status of the firm to whom the Clerk 
 is articled, an average premium being 200 guineas ; while in 
 the country 50 to 300 guineas is about the rule. In the case 
 of the Scottish Chartered Societies the premium or apprentice 
 fee is 105, and there is another 105 payable to the general 
 fund of the Society on the candidate's admission after the 
 prescribed examinations have been passed, as well as an 
 annual contribution of 5 55. payable to the Endowment and 
 Annuity Fund of the Society. 
 
 The Fee for each Examination in the Institute of Chartered 
 Accountants or of a Scottish Chartered Society is 2 2s. ; in 
 the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, Pre- 
 liminary Examination i is., Intermediate i -us. 6d., and 
 Final 2 2s. 
 
 The Fee for admittance as an Associate of the Institute of 
 Chartered Accountants is 10 ios., or as Associate of the 
 Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors 5 55., and 
 an annual fee of i is. for members not in practice, whilst 
 members in practice if in the Metropolis pay a fee of 2 2S. 
 per annum, if in the Provinces a fee of i is. per annum.

 including cost of living, clothing, college fees, holidays, travel- 
 ling and all incidental expenses, cannot be less than 200 to. 
 220 a year, or Rs. 256 to Rs. 275 per mensem. 
 
 The time to be spent in Great Britain will depend on which 
 branch of the profession is adopted, and what funds are 
 'provided : it cannot well be less than three years, and need not 
 be more than five. But before the student leaves India 
 he should have received a scientific education in an Indian 
 College, otherwise time and money will be needlessly spent in 
 this country on ,a preliminary education, that can be as well 
 obtained in India at less cost. 
 
 He should have acquired at least a sound and thorough 
 knowledge of pure mathematics i.e., geometry, algebra, 
 and trigonometry ; some acquaintance with analytical and 
 practical plane geometry, the elements of solid geometry and 
 a working knowledge of the differential and integral calculus 
 and of the simple differential equations. He should, further,, 
 have had some instruction in applied mathematics and 
 mechanics, and a general knowledge of elementary physics 
 and chemistry. He should also have learned drawing, 
 especially free-hand and geometrical drawing and practical 
 mensuration. 
 
 The engineering profession comprises several distinct 
 branches, for each of which a special training is required. 
 The Indian student coming to this country should therefore 
 decide beforehand which of these he intends to adopt, so .that 
 he may save much time and money by selecting the suitable 
 education and training. The branches of engineering which 
 at present offer careers to Indian students, are as follows : 
 
 I. CIVIL. ENGINEERING. (a) Railways, (b) Irrigation, (c) 
 Works, Wharfs and .Harbours, (d) Roads and Buildings, (e} 
 Drairiage and Sewerage, (/) Water Supply, (g) River Works. 
 
93 
 
 2. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. (a) Marine Engines and 
 Dredging Plant, (b) Locomotive Engines, (c) Stationary 
 Steam Power Engines, (d) Oil and Gas Power Engines and 
 Motors, (e] Hydraulic Engines and Machinery, (/) Turbines, 
 Hydraulic and Steam, (g) Pumping Engines and Plant, (h) 
 Textile, Mining and Rolling Mills, Machinery and Plant, (i) 
 Portable Engines and Factory Plant, (/) Aerial Ropeways 
 and Conveying Machinery. r~& 
 
 3. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. (a) Electric Railways, (&') 
 Street Tramways, (c) Telegraph, Marconigraph and Telephone, 
 (d) Sighting and Power Plant, (e) Mining Machinery, (/) 
 Textile Machinery, (g) General Workshop Machinery, (h} 
 Telpherage. 
 
 4. MINING ENGINEERING. 
 
 .5. Iron, Steel, Copper and Lead Manufactures; with 
 Allied Industries of Wood and Metal Works. 
 
 If the student should elect for the Public Works Department 
 it will be necessary for him to have a generally good knowledge 
 of i. (a), (b), (d), (e), and (/) ; 2. (d), with some workshop 
 experience of mechanical engineering, and also of 5. This 
 entails his taking at least a three years' course, or more 
 profitably a four years' course, at one of the many good 
 Engineering Colleges of Great Britain ; or he may take a B.Sc. 
 degree in Engineering, which will make him eligible for 
 Associate Membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers. 
 
 There are more openings for well-educated and properly- 
 trained mechanical engineers in India than there are for civil 
 engineers. Before long also a large field will be open for 
 employment in electrical engineering in all its sections, (a) to 
 id), throughout India. For this the student will have to 
 take a five or six years' course of education and training, if he 
 wants to be a master in the profession of electrical engineering, 
 and not a mechanic electrician, which is the fate of many 
 young men at present who have not spent the full time re- 
 quired. To be a good electrical engineer it is necessary, first, 
 to take a three years' course in mechanical engineering . 
 followed by a two years' course in a technical college, combined 
 with electrical shop and test-room work. 
 
 The mining industry of India is increasing largely every 
 year, and offers much employment to Indian students. After 
 a four years' course at the Royal School of Mines, and two 
 years spent at the coal, iron, tin and lead mines of this coun- 
 try, the student should be well fitted for undertaking charge 
 of any of the four mining industries above mentioned, and 
 these are certain to be greatly developed before long in India. 
 
94 
 
 It will be some time before the smelting and manufacture 
 of metals will be sufficiently developed to offer careers to trained 
 students. Some enterprises of the kind have started in India, 
 and others are contemplated, but they are far from being 
 established undertakings yet. 
 
 Considering the four branches herein mentioned, the first, 
 or civil, requires the shortest time for obtaining the necessary 
 qualifications, either by means of a University degree or a 
 technical college coarse. This does not, however, complete 
 the training necessary for a civil engineer, and a year or two 
 of a practical course should be undertaken. To obtain 
 this practical training under a civil engineer of some standing 
 and current practice, entails for the Indian student at least an 
 additional year's residence in this country, and an expenditure 
 of one hundred guineas as a premium. 
 
 If the Indian student is preparing for the Public Works 
 Department he must, to conform with regulations, have 
 had some knowledge of workshop training, and this he can 
 only acquire by being admitted into one of the many large 
 engineering workshops of this country for at least six months, 
 and more if possible. For this a premium may or may not 
 be required, as some engineering colleges and technical colleges 
 have excellent workshops of their own, and with a four years' 
 course are able to introduce selected students into engineering 
 workshops for three summer courses of six month each. 
 During this workshop course he will have to enter as an 
 apprentice, and work with the workmen of the shops and 
 conform to their hours and rules, which are very strict. 
 
 For mechanical engineering the student, after having 
 finished a two years' college course, should enter some good 
 engineering workshop as a premium pupil for three years. He 
 will then be fitted for employment as an assistant locomotive 
 superintendent on an Indian railway provided, of course, he 
 holds good certificates from his college and the works. 
 
 For electrical engineering, he must spend eighteen months 
 in some good engineering workshops, where electrical power 
 engines are built ; in the forge, fitting and erecting shops ; 
 then eighteen months in some electrical plant manufacturer's 
 works as Crumptons or Siemens' Brothers in machine shop, 
 testing room, and drawing office ; after which spend one 
 whole year as junior shift engineer in the power house of some 
 large electrical lighting and power company, and another year 
 outside on maintenance of tramways and lighting way and 
 works. 
 
 The fully- qualified electrical engineer has better prospects 
 
95 
 
 in India than men of either of the other two branches of the 
 profession. Moreover, it will not be long before the mountain 
 railways of India will have to be worked by hydro-electric 
 power if they are to be worked profitably, while most, if not 
 all, cotton and jute mills will also have to be worked by 
 electricity. So the prospects of an electrical engineer in 
 India are quite good, and sufficiently enticing for the student 
 who is wiling to spend time and money on specialising in this 
 branch. 
 
 The limit of age for entering Government service in the 
 Public Works Department is 24, so that students specialising 
 for it should begin their course of education and training in 
 Great Britain before they are 20 or 21 years of age in the 
 month of July according as they propose to take a degree at 
 a University or a technical college course of four years. But 
 if they are adopting the engineering profession with a view to 
 employment with railway companies, municipalities, district 
 boards, or private and other undertakings, they may spend 
 their time in this country up to the age of 25, and even 27, 
 having due regard to all other conditions. As before stated, 
 it is very necessary that Indian students coming here for an 
 engineering education and training should have been thorough- 
 ly well educated to the extent already mentioned, otherwise 
 they will find it both difficult and expensive, not to say irksome, 
 to go through a course of school work in this country after the 
 age of 16 or 18.

 The purposes of the Imperial College are to give the 
 highest specialised instruction and to provide the fullest 
 equipment for the most advanced training and research in 
 various branches of science, especially in its application to 
 industry. 
 
 The courses of instruction are planned so as to extend 
 over four years, and are generally similar for all divisions 
 
9 6 
 
 during the first year, and to a less extent during the second 
 year, after which they are specialised according to the particu- 
 lar division in which the student is working. Students on 
 entering must specify as far as possible the third year or third 
 and] fourth year courses in which they intend to specialise. 
 Those intending to specialise in Civil and Mechanical Engineer- 
 ing or Electrical Engineering will be regarded as students of the 
 City and Guilds College ; in Mining or Metallurgy as students 
 of the Royal School of Mines ; in Mechanics, Physics, Chemis- 
 try, Botany, Zoology or Geology as students of the Royal 
 College of Science. Candidates for admission to a first year 
 course must satisfy the authorities of the College that they 
 have received a good secondary education, and must as a 
 rule be not less than 17 years of age. 
 They are required to show : 
 
 (i.) That in general education they have reached a 
 standard equivalent to that usually marked by Uni- 
 versity Matriculation ; and 
 
 (ii.) That their previous scientific education is such 
 as to enable them to profit from the scientific training 
 given in the course which they desire to enter ; e.g., a 
 knowledge of Elementary Mathematics, Mechanics, 
 Physics and Chemistry sufficient for the University of 
 London Matriculation Examination. 
 Every student should have acquired some facility in 
 freehand drawing. 
 
 Applications for admission to the College must be made 
 on Form 1289, obtainable from the Registrar, and be sent 
 not later than the first week in July for admission in the 
 following October. In this form a statement should be given 
 of the studies which the applicant has already pursued, the 
 examinations he has passed, and the names of a Teacher or 
 Teachers to whom reference may be made. This application 
 will be considered by the Council of the College, who will 
 decide whether or not the Candidate can be admitted. 
 
 Students must be free from any organic disease or 
 physical defect that would interfere with their studies. 
 
 The Session is divided into two Terms. The first 
 Term begins about the first week in October, and ends about 
 the middle of February. The second term begins in the 
 middle of February, and ends about the beginning of July. 
 A certain number of Royal Exhibitions, National Scholar- 
 ships, and Free Studentships tenable at the College are 
 awarded by competition at the Examinations of the Board of 
 Education, South Kensington. 
 
97 
 
 The diploma of the Imperial College of Science and 
 Technology will be awarded only on the satisfactory comple- 
 tion of two years' study in advanced science or technology at 
 the Imperial College, except in cases where, the Imperial 
 College recognises for this purpose in associated Universities, 
 &c., courses of study for which the Imperial College does not 
 make provision in any of its own constituent Colleges. 
 
 I. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE. 
 
 This part of the Imperial College includes the Departments 
 of Mathematics and Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry, Botany, 
 Zoology and Geology. 
 
 The complete course extends over 4 years (i.e., 12 terms), 
 and the fees vary according to the course taken, ranging 
 from 5 to 17 a term, and amounting in all to 120 to 150. 
 
 The conditions governing the award of the Associateship 
 of the Royal College of Science are subject to revision with 
 regard to the Session 1910-11, and subsequent Sessions. 
 
 II. ROYAL SCHOOL OF MINES. 
 
 The courses of study in the Departments of Mining 
 and Metallurgy extend over four years (i.e., 12 terms) and 
 the fees vary from 2 to 13 a term, amounting in all to 
 140 150. 
 
 Students who enter for the Associateship of the Royal 
 School of Mines in and subsequent to the Session 1908-9 will 
 be required satisfactorily to complete a four years' course 
 of study. 
 
 III. THE CITY AND GUILDS CENTRAL TECHNICAL 
 COLLEGE, EXHIBITION ROAD, S.W. 
 
 The object of the Central Institution is to give to London 
 <L College for higher technical education, in which advanced 
 instruction shall be provided in those kinds of knowledge 
 which bear upon the different branches of industry, whether 
 Manufactures or Arts. 
 
 The main purpose of the instruction given is to demon- 
 strate practically the application of different branches of 
 science to various manufacturing industries. 
 
 In order that this instruction may be efficiently carried 
 out, the College comprises laboratories, drawing offices, and 
 workshops ; and opportunities are afforded for the prose- 
 cution of original research, with the object of the more 
 thorough training of the Students, and for the elucidation of 
 the theory of industrial processes. 
 
The Courses of Instruction are arranged to suit the: 
 requirements of 
 
 1. Persons who are training to become Technical 
 Teachers. 
 
 2. Persons who are preparing to enter Engineers' or 
 Architects' offices, or Manufacturing works. 
 
 3. Persons who desire to acquaint themselves with 
 the scientific principles underlying the particular branch 
 of industry in which they are engaged. 
 
 The Entrance or Matriculation Examination for Can- 
 didates who desire to qualify for the Diploma, is held in 
 September, and is open to all persons not less than 16 years, 
 of age at the date of the Examination. The subjects are : i. 
 Mathematics and Mechanics (compulsory). 2. Mechanical 
 Drawing. 3. Physics. 4. Chemistry. (Two of these three 
 subjects must be passed.) 5. English. 6. French or Ger- 
 man. Fee, i. The London University Examination, if 
 passed in certain PRESCRIBED SUBJECTS, may be offered in 
 lieu of the Entrance Examination of the College, but a know- 
 ledge of Trigonometry is necessary. 
 
 Instruction at the College is given in three Departments. 
 i. Civil and Mechanical Engineering. 2. Electrical Engineer- 
 ing. 3. Chemistry. The course in each Department is of 
 three years. Students select the Department in which they 
 desire to be classed when entering the College. 
 
 The Fees for the complete Course of Instruction to be pur- 
 sued by a Matriculated Student are 36 per Session, payable 
 in advance, or 37 payable in two instalments 19 in Sep- 
 tember and 18 in January. 
 
 The Diploma Course includes instruction in all four Depart- 
 ments, and is practically the same during the first year for all 
 Students. It is specialised in the second year, to a certain 
 extent, according to the particular branch of industrial work 
 in which the Student expects to be engaged ; and in the third 
 year, the Student devotes himself almost exclusively to the 
 work of the Department which he enters. 
 
 The Diploma of ASSOCIATE OF THE CITY AND GUILDS OF 
 LONDON INSTITUTE (indicated by the letters A. C.G.I.), stating 
 the industry or branch of Engineering in which each recipient 
 has qualified, is awarded by the Council on the recommendation 
 of the Board of Studies, to Matriculated Students, who have 
 gone through a complete course of instruction as laid down in 
 the programme, and have passed with sufficient merit the 
 several Examinations. The Diploma in either Civil and 
 Mechanical Engineering or in Electrical Engineering is, 
 
99 
 
 accepted by the Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 
 as exempting from the Examination for Associate Member- 
 ship (A.M.I.C.E.). 
 
 Students wishing to attend Special or Partial Courses,, 
 must satisfy the Professors that they possess sufficient know- 
 ledge to follow the teaching. The fees for these, including 
 laboratory work, for i, 2, 3, 4, 5 days in a week, are 7, 9, 
 11, 12 ios., 14 respectively per term ; besides an entrance 
 fee of 2. 
 
 The Fellowship, indicated by the letter F.C.G.I., is con- 
 ferred upon those who, having obtained the Associateship, 
 have spent at least five years in actual practice, and can 
 produce evidence of having done some original and valuable 
 research work, or of having otherwise contributed to the 
 advancement of the industry in which they are engaged.

 and making an abstract of a spoken passage and a precis of a 
 printed passage and Mathematics viz., Arithmetic, Algebra, 
 'Quadratic Equations, and Geometry, including the first four 
 Books of Euclid, or the subjects thereof. 
 
 Students at the end of their first year's course are not 
 admitted to the advanced course unless they show, not only by 
 their answers in examination, but by the quality of their 
 weekly work as evidenced by lecture note-books, laboratory 
 note-books, drawings, &c., that they are able to take ad- 
 vantage of the training. Failing this their places are liable 
 to be filled up by new Students. The reports furnished at 
 the end of each of the three terms of the year indicate the 
 progress of the Student. 
 
 No conditions about residence are prescribed by the Col- 
 lege. A list of boarding-houses recommended to Students can 
 be had on application to the Registrar of the College. 
 
 (3). The Technical Art School embraces Departments 
 of Modelling, Drawing and Painting, and House Decoration. 
 
 (4) . The Department of Technology holds annual examin- 
 ations in Technology, Domestic Economy, and Manual Train- 
 ing, 
 
 CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY'S SCHOOL OF PRAC- 
 TICAL ENGINEERING. 
 
 This School was established (1872) for the purpose of 
 providing Students of Mechanical or Civil Engineering with 
 thorough practical instruction in the rudiments of the profes- 
 sion, and in the manipulation of materials. The leading 
 object is to prepare Students, by a system of combined 
 practical and theoretical instruction, for the profession, so 
 that on entering an Engineer's office or works the pupil may 
 at once be useful to his Principal, and enabled to take ad- 
 
lOI 
 
 vantage of the opportunities open to him, having mastered 
 the elementary details of the profession. 
 
 The School is also available for Students already articled, 
 who desire instruction in either the offices or shops ; for 
 gentlemen who wish to become Draughtsmen to Engineers or 
 Patent Agents ; or to study Electro-Mechanics ; or to fit 
 themselves by practical knowledge of scientific and mechanical 
 work and expedients, for 'life in the colonies or abroad. 
 
 Candidates for admission to this School of Practical 
 Engineering are required to pass a preliminary examination 
 in the rudiments of Arithmetic, Algebra, Mensuration, 
 Mechanical Powers, and Resolution of Forces. 
 
 The usual age for Students to be examined for entrance 
 into the School is sixteen or seventeen years ; but there is 
 no limit as to age. 
 
 MECHANICAL COURSE. The Mechanical Course is com- 
 prised in one year, and is designed to convey instruction 
 essential either to the Student who intends to be a Mechanical 
 Engineer, or to follow the Civil Engineering or any other 
 branch of the profession. The year is divided into three 
 terms of fifteen weeks each. 
 
 One term of this Course is devoted to the study of Mech- 
 anical Drawing, another to Pattern Making and Foundry 
 Work, and a third to Fitting and Smith's Work. While 
 employed in the Drawing Office, Students are engaged in 
 making drawings of machinery and constructions, in tracing, 
 in getting out quantities and estimates, in calculating the 
 strength of materials, &c. In the Pattern Shop and Foundry 
 they prepare patterns of engines and machinery and practice 
 Moulding and Foundry work ; in the Fitting Shop and 
 Smiths, in fitting and erecting engines of from 3 to 6-horse 
 power, or other suitable work for the market, and in forging 
 and tool-making. 
 
 Lectures on engineering subjects are delivered to the 
 Students twice a week. 
 
 CIVIL ENGINEERING COURSE. The instruction is intended 
 to be supplementary to the Mechanical Course of the School, 
 and like it, a preparation for the profession ; but it can be 
 attended separately, or the Students can attend one or more 
 of the Terms into which the tuition is divided. 
 
 The Course is one year, and the tuition is divided into 
 three Terms, each of fifteen weeks. 
 
 The first Term is devoted to Projecting and Practical 
 Preparation by actual Levelling, etc., of plans in detail for a 
 
102 
 
 complete Public Work (as a Railway and Dock) and the pre- 
 paration of Plans and Estimates for Parliament. 
 
 The second Term is devoted to the preparation of Work- 
 ing Plans and Sections, Calculations, Estimates, etc. 
 
 The third is utilised for original Designing, and for the 
 investigation of existing Engineering Works, completed or in 
 progress, and the general application of principles in practice. 
 
 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. The ordinary curriculum 
 for the Electrical Section is of two Terms' duration, during 
 which the Students' time is devoted to Special Lectures ; 
 instruction, both Theoretical and Practical, in the shops 
 and offices of the School, and directed practical work. The 
 instruction is intended to be supplementary to the ordinary 
 curriculum of the School. 
 
 The Fee for the Mechanical Course, i year, is 54, for 
 the Civil Course 64 ios., or for both Courses, 2 years, paid 
 for in advance, 108. The Fee for the Special Electrical 
 Course is 21 ios. per Term. 
 
 THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. 
 
 This Institution does not issue certificates of passage of 
 its Examinations, which are held solely for the purpose of 
 proving eligibility for admission as a Student of the Institu- 
 tion, or for election into the Corporation, in so far as such 
 attainments are comprised in the requirements. 
 
 The Institution holds (i) Studentship and (2) Associate 
 Membership Examinations in February and October of each 
 year. For the former the Council will consider any applica- 
 tion from a person who is duly recommended for Admission 
 as a Student of the Institution. Applications to attend the 
 whole or any part of the latter will be received only from (a) 
 Students of the Institution who are not less than 21 years 
 nor more than 26 years of age on the last day for entry ; 
 or (b) persons who have lodged duly completed proposals 
 for their election into the Institution and have been formally 
 notified by the Council that they must pass the examination as 
 a condition of election. Applications to be examined must 
 be on the prescribed form, and must be in the hands of the 
 Secretary not later than 3ist December for the February 
 examination, and not later than 3ist August for the. October- 
 examination. 
 
 The Examination Fees for the Studentship Examination 
 are, on a first entry, i us. 6d., and for, any subsequent 
 entry is. is., and for the Associate Membership Examination. 
 2 I2s. 6d. and 2 2s. respectively. 
 
103 
 
 Arrangements may, at the discretion of the Council, be 
 made for the examination of persons in India and the Colonies. 
 The papers of the October examination only will be placed 
 before such candidates, and their applications and fees must 
 be in the Secretary's hands not later than the 3ist May 
 preceding. 
 
 The Studentship Examination includes the following 
 subjects : (i) English, (2) Mathematics, (3) two subjects 
 selected from the following ten : a language is not compulsory, 
 but in any case not more than one language may be taken : - 
 
 (i.) Latin, (ii.) Greek, (iii.) French, (iv.) German, (v.) 
 Italian, (vi.) Spanish, (vii.) Elementary Mechanics of solids 
 and fluids, (viii.) Elementary Physics, including heat, light, 
 electricity and magnetism, (ix.) Elementary Chemistry, (x.) 
 Geometrical and Freehand Drawing. 
 
 Graduates of any University in the British Empire, 
 Whitworth Scholars, and Whitworth Exhibitioners are 
 exempted from this examination ; and various examinations 
 held by certain British and Colonial Universities are recognised 
 by the Council as qualifying in lieu of it. It is a condition of 
 the acceptance of these Certificates as exempting qualifications 
 that they shall have been obtained by passing the respective 
 Examinations at one sitting. 
 
 The Associate Membership Examination is divided into 
 two parts: Part I., General Knowledge, and Part II., Scienti- 
 fic. In the former candidates are required to prove their 
 knowledge of the English language, and their attainments 
 in general knowledge by writing an essay of about 1,000 
 words. Students of the Institution, and persons producing 
 qualifications equivalent to those required for the Studentship 
 examination, are not required to pass this. The latter is 
 divided into Sections A and B. Section A includes (i) Me- 
 chanics, (2) Strength and Elasticity of Materials, (3) Either 
 '(a) Theory of Structures, or (b) Theory of Electricity and 
 Magnetism. 
 
 Section B. In this two of the following nine subjects (not 
 more than one from any group) may be taken : 
 
 GROUP I. GROUP II. GROUP III. 
 
 Geodesy. Hydraulics. Geology and Mineralogy. 
 
 Theory of Heat- Theory of Ma- Stability and Resistance of 
 
 Engines. chines. Ships. 
 
 Thermo- and Elec- Metallurgy. Application of Electricity. 
 
 tro Chemistry. 
 
 In the discretion of the Council arrangements may be 
 made for the examination in October of persons residing in 
 
104 
 
 India, or in the Colonies, in whose favour proposals for 
 election have been lodged. 
 
 As the rules are frequently revised, application should 
 be made directly to the Institution. 
 
 An essential condition of election into the Institution is, 
 a regular course of engineering training under -practical con- 
 ditions, and the Council attach so much importance to this 
 condition that they require all persons who contemplate 
 attending the Institution Examinations to show that they 
 either have, or intend to obtain, such regular practical 
 training under practising engineers.

 FARADAY HOUSE. 
 
 THE ELECTRICAL STANDARDIZING, TESTING AND 
 TRAINING INSTITUTION, LONDON. 
 
 (ESTABLISHED 1889.) 
 
 The Training Department of the Institution provides 
 students with a thorough training, theoretical and practical, 
 in Electrical Engineering. The full course occupies four 
 years, the first and third at Faraday House, the others at 
 Engine Manufacturers and Electrical Manufacturers or Power 
 House. The first and third years' courses are divided into the 
 Lent term (Jan. -April), the Summer term (April- July), Mich- 
 aelmas term (Sept. -Dec.). 
 
 The first year's course includes theoretical and practical 
 instruction in Electricity and Magnetism, Electrical Engi- 
 neering, Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical Drawing, Mechan- 
 ical Engineering, Chemistry, Laboratory and Workshop 
 practice.

 engineering firms of high standing are associated with the 
 Institution, and provide the practical commercial workshop 
 experience, without which no engineer's training is complete. 
 
 It. 'is necessary to pass thfe Entrance Examination before 
 joining, students who have passed the Matriculation Examina- 
 tion of an Indian University will be exempted. 
 
 .v Examination for Entrance Scholarships - are Held three 
 times a year January, Easter and July. The value of the 
 Scholarships is " Faraday," fifty guineas per annum ; " Max- 
 well," thirty-five pounds per annum., tenable for three years.

 THE MUNICIPAL SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY, 
 MANCHESTER. 
 
 The object of the Municipal School of Technology is to 
 provide instruction and training in the principles of Science 
 in their application to the Industrial Arts, with a view to a 
 right understanding of the foundations upon which these arts 
 rest, 'and to promote their effective development. 
 
 The School is designed to accommodate the Mechanical, 
 Electrical and Sanitary Engineering, the Chemical, Textile, 
 Building, Letterpress Printing, Lithographic, Photo-process, 
 and some other minor trade industries ; whilst adjoining the 
 main building is the Dye-house, where ample provision is made 
 for the study of Bleaching, Dyeing, Printing and Finishing 
 of Textile Goods, and for Paper-making. 
 
 The successful career of a student depends very largely 
 upon his previous general education, for unless this has been 
 thorough and liberal, no satisfactory progress can be attained 
 in any of the departments of the School. 
 
 The School offers to Students who have reached their i6th 
 year the following courses, each of three years' duration : 
 
 1. Mechanical Engineering. 
 
 2. Electrical Engineering and Technical Physics. 
 
 3. Municipal Sanitary Engineering. 
 
 4. Applied Chemistry ; (A) General Chemical Technology;

 Printing and Finishing) ; (c) Manufacture of Paper ; 
 (D) Metallurgy and Assaying ; (E) Brewing ; (F) 
 Electro-Chemistry. 
 
 5. Manufacture of Textiles. 
 
 6. Photography and the Printing Crafts. 
 
 7. Architecture and the Building Trades. 
 
 Students are required to pass an Entrance Examination in 
 subjects of general knowledge, or to produce evidence, satisfac- 
 tory to the Principal, of their attainments. Indian Students 
 are not required to take this Examination if they have passed 
 the Matriculation Examination of an Indian University. 
 
 The Entrance Examination is held twice each year, 
 namely, in July and in September. 
 
 A Certificate in Technical Science can be obtained after a 
 three years' course, but a special course of two years can be 
 taken in the Textile Department. In this case satisfactory 
 previous knowledge is necessary, and Students who have 
 passed examinations in an Indian Technical School, or have 
 had experience in a mill, can take advantage of this special 
 course.

 of all kinds of leather. The instruction given covers the 
 whole field of Manipulative Procedure, which, starting from 
 the raw animal hide, finds its completion in the multifarious 
 Leathers that constitute the raw material for the numerous 
 leather- working industries. 
 
 The classes are divided into Day Division and Evening 
 Division Classes. In the former there are courses of lectures 
 in Tanning, Currying and Leather Dressing ; in applied 
 Chemistry and Leather Manufacture ; and in the principles 
 and practice of the dyeing and finishing of light leathers, and 
 the staining and finishing of heavy leathers. 
 
 The Session is made up of the winter, spring and summer 
 terms, and the courses of study in the Institute are arranged 
 to suit the varying requirements of the day students. 
 
 Students may enter for the full session of three terms, or 
 for one or two terms only. The fees for the full time course 
 Tanning, Currying and Leather dressing, and for the full-time 
 course in Leather Dyeing, Staining and Finishing are 12 I2S.

 ARCHITECTURE. 
 
 The Royal Institute of British Architects has laid down a 
 regular course for pupils, with examinations to be passed for 
 membership. A good general education is required as a pre- 
 liminary before entering upon the course. 
 
 The Architectural Association affords facilities for the 
 study of Architecture. The Day School provides for two years 
 of study, and the pupils are then expected to enter Architects' 
 offices as articled pupils for a short period and attend the 
 Evening School, which provides for more advanced and con- 
 tinuous study. A four years' continuous evening course is also 
 available. Students in the Evening School may, if desired, 
 prepare for the Intermediate or Final Examination of the 
 Royal Institute of British Architects, and qualify for candi- 
 dates as Associates. 
 
 Students having passed through two years in the Day 
 School and two years in the Evening School, will be entitled 
 to complete exemption from the R.I.B.A. Intermediate Exami- 
 nation, if their work is approved by the Masters and the Board 
 of Examiners. 
 
 There are many colleges in Great Britain that have a 
 special two to three years' course for architecture, or the 
 student would do well to take a B.Sc. degree at one of the 
 Universities, and then become a pupil for three years under 
 some well-known and actively employed architect, for which 
 the usual premium is from fifty to one hundred guineas a year. 
 
 ART SCHOOLS.

Engineering Training. 
 
 IT is essential that all intending Engineers should (a) pass through 
 a course of scientific instruction at a Technical Institution, and (b) 
 spend at least two years in commercial engineering works. 
 
 All recognised authorities admit that the best possible plan is the 
 alternation of college training with works experience, commonly 
 known as the " sandwich system." This method gives the engin- 
 eering student early opportunities of applying his scientific know- 
 ledge to practical problems, and helps him to appreciate the value 
 of his academic training. With this end in view the Governors of 
 the Electrical Standardizing, Testing and Training Institution 
 (established 1889), secured the co-operation of a large number of 
 engineering firms of high standing, to supplement the training given 
 at the central technical institution they have erected in London. 
 This building, Faraday House, has well equipped workshops and 
 laboratories (open to the inspection of parents and guardians every 
 Friday afternoon, between 3 and 5) ; the technical staff is highly 
 qualified, and the tuition is augmented by lectures from professional 
 experts in the various subjects taught. In addition actual engin- 
 eering experience under commercial conditions is provided. 
 
 Terms begin in January, after Easter, and in September. 
 
 The syllabus will be sent on application to the Bursar, Faraday 
 House, Southampton Row, London, W.C.
