HANDBOOK OF INFORMATION FOR - '* - INDIAN STUDENTS. -M RELATING TO University and Professional Studies, &c., in the United Kingdom. Issued by the Committee of the National Indian Association, in 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, on call, death or withdrawal). fees, composition for Bar dues, etc. Total. s. d. s. d. s. d.

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. 8 The PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION (fee, 4) is in i. Writing from Dictation. 2. Writing a short English Compo- sition. 3 (a.) Arithmetic. (6.) Algebra, up to and inclusive of Simple Equations, and the first four books of Euclid. 4. Geography of Europe, and History of England. 5. Latin. 6. Any two languages, to be selected by the Candidate out of the following six namely (a) Latin, (b) Greek, (c) French, (d) German, (e) Spanish, (/) Italian. With reference to the subjects numbered 3 and 6, no Candi- date is obliged to take up Algebra, or Euclid (No. 36), but if any Candidate elects to do so, he may take up these with one only of the languages. (No. 6). Four of these Examinations are held in each year, in the months of February, May, July and October. Persons are exempted from the Preliminary Examinations who have passed certain University or other Public Examinations. INTERMEDIATE EXAMINATION (fee, 6). Four of these Examinations are held in each year, in the months of January, April, June, and N ovember. The subjects are such elementary works on the Laws of England as the Examination Committee may from time to time appoint for that purpose, and an Examination on Accounts and Bookkeeping. A Barrister of not less than five years' standing is exempted from all Exami- nations except the Final. FINAL EXAMINATION (fee, 10). Four of these Examina- tions are held in each year, in the months of January, April, June, and November, in the following subjects : 1. The Principles of the Law of Real and Personal Pro- perty and the Practice of Conveyancing. 2. The Principles of Law and Procedure in matters usu- ally determined or administered in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice. 3.

There is also an Examination for Honours (fee, i). The fee payable to the Solicitor to whom a clerk is 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.

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. 9. Selected Candidates, before proceeding to India, will be on probation for one year, at the end of which time they will be examined, with a view of testing their progress in the following subjects : COMPULSORY Marks . 1. Indian Penal Code . . . . . . . . . . 400 2. Code of Criminal Procedure . . . . . . . . 200 3. The Indian Evidence Act . . . . . . . . 200 4. Indian History .. .. .. .. .. 400 5.

Hindustani (for Candidates assigned to the Province of Burma only) . . . . . . . . . . 400 * These subjects may not be offered by any Candidate who has offered them at the 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." 10. The Selected Candidates will also be tested during their probation as to their proficiency in Riding. 11. The Selected Candidates who, on examination, shall be found to have a competent knowledge of the subjects specified in Regulation 9, and who shall have satisfied the Civil Service Commissioners of their eligibility in respect of national- ity, age, health, character, conduct during the period of proba- 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 13 apply on Forms, which may be obtained from " The Secretary, Civil Service Commission, London, S.W.," at any time after the ist December in the year previous to that in which the Examination is to be held. The Form, filled in in the hand- 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 their office is open), in the year in which the Examination is to be held.

(d) Some evidence of having obtained a regis- trable qualification. Natives of India and those educated in that country must ';also produce a certificate, signed by the Director-General, Indian Medical Service, that the Candidate is a suitable person to hold a commission in the Service. 5. The Secretary of State for India reserves the right of 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. 7. On proving possession of the foregoing qualifications, . the Candidate will be examined by the Examining Board in the following subjects, and the highest number of marks attainable will be distributed as follows : Marks. Medicine (including Therapeutics) . . . . 1,200 Surgery (including diseases of the eye) . . 1,200 Applied Anatomy and Physiology . . . . 600 Pathology and Bacteriology . . . . . . goo Midwifery and Diseases of Women and ' ' Children . . ; . , . . . . . 600 Materia Medica Pharmacology and Toxicology 600 N.B.

Candidates to qualify, must obtain at least ONE-THIRD of the total number of marks obtainable in each subject, and ONE- HALF of the aggregate marks for all the subjects. 8. After passing this Examination, the successful Candi- dates will be required to attend two successive courses of two months each at Aldershot, and at the Royal Army Medical College, Millbank. The Course at Aldershot will include (i) Internal Economy, (2) Indian Military Law, (3) Hospital 15 Administration, (4) Stretcher and Ambulance Drill, (5)* Equitation, (6) Map Reading.

During this period of instruction each Candidate will receive an allowance of 143. per diem, with quarters, or, when quarters are not provided, with the usual allowances of a. subaltern in lieu thereof, to cover all costs of maintenance ; and he will be required to provide himself with uniform. 11. Candidates will be required to conform to such rules of discipline as may from time to time be laid down. 12. At the conclusion of the course, Candidates, will be required to pass an examination in the subjects taught during the course of instruction. A lieutenant who, within a reason- 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. I.

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.

Any member of the University of 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 have taken Honours as required. 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 28 essay instead of answering the questions on Greek Grammar in paper (5). PART II. (i) Paley's " Evidences of Christianity " ; or as an alternative, a paper on Elementary Logic or on Elemen- tary Heat and Chemistry. (2) Geometry. (3) Arithmetic. (4) Elementary Algebra. (5) An English Essay on a subject from a Standard English work. PART III. A Student who desires to study for a Tripos (Honours) is further required to pass the " Additional Sub- jects " viz., (i) Mechanics with Elementary Trigonometry, or (2) French, or (3) German. II . The General Examination is held in J une and Decem- ber, and consists of two parts, either of which is open to all Students who are in their third Term of residence, having ^previously kept two Terms and passed the previous Examina- tion. The subjects are at present : PART I. One Latin and one Greek classic. Algebra, Ele- mentary Statics with Elementary Trigonometry, and a (volun- tary) Latin paper. PART II. The Acts of the Apostles in the original Greek, a portion of English History, an Historical Essay ; Elementary Hydrostatics and Heat, and a (voluntary) paper on a play of Shakespeare, or a work of Milton. III. A " Special Examination/' open to all Students who have entered on their ninth* Term at least, having pre- viously kept eight Terms, and have passed their Previous and General Examinations. When the Special Examination is divided into two Parts (as is the case with most subjects), Part I. is open to all Students who have entered on their Sixth "Term at least, having previously kept five Terms. The sub- ject of the Examination (under the existing regulations) may be any of the following at the option of the student : Chemistry, Classics, History, Law, Mathematics,Mechanism, and Applied Science, Modern Languages, Physics, Political Economy, "Theology, Botany, Geology, Logic, Physiology, and Zoology. There are also Special Examinations in Agricultural Science, A Diploma in that science is open to persons who are NOT members of the University IV. Or, in place of the General Examination followed T3y a Special Examination, the candidate may qualify for the Ordinary Degree by passing in two Special Examinations. 29 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. Any Student of an Affiliated Institution, who shall have continued a member of it for such length of time, not less than two years, and shall have attended such lectures, and passed such Examinations, as may be required from time to time by grace of the Senate, shall, if admitted as a member of the University otherwise than as an Advanced Student, be entitled to either or both of the following privileges, namely : (i) To be exempted from all parts of the previous Exam- ination ; (2) to reckon the first Term kept by residence as the fourth Term of his residence, for the purposes of all provisions respecting the standing of Candidates for Tripos Examinations or for Degree Examinations in Medicine, Surgery, or Music, and respecting the standing of candidates for Degrees. UNIVERSITY OF CALCUTTA. Any Matriculated Student of the University of Calcutta is entitled to be admitted to the privileges of affiliation who has (i) in accord- ance with the regulations of that University studied for not less than two years at one or more Insti- tutions for the education of adult students affiliated up to the B.A. standard ; (2) passed the Entrance Examina- tion, and also passed in the first division in the First Examina- tion in Arts or. passed in Honours in the Examination for Bachelor of Arts of that University ; provided that in one of these Examinations or in some other Examination held by that University he has satisfied the Examiners in Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Arabic, or Persian. UNIVERSITY OF ALLAHABAD. Any Matriculated Student of the University of Allahabad is entitled to be admitted to the privileges of Affiliation who has (i) in accordance with the regulations of that University studied for not less than two years at one or more Institutions for the education of adult Students affiliated in Arts up to the B.A. standard ; (2) 3* passed the Entrance Examination, and also passed in the first division in the Intermediate Examination in Arts or in the first or second division in the Examination for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts of that University ; -provided that in one of these Examinations or in some other Examination, held by that University he has satisfied the Examiners iu Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Arabic, or Persian. UNIVERSITY OF BOMBAY. Any Matriculated Student of the University of Bombay is entitled to be admitted to the privileges of Affiliation who has (i) in accordance with the regulations of that University studied for not less than two years at one or more colleges or Institutions for the education of .adult Students recognised in Arts ; (2) passed the Matricula- tion and Previous Examinations, and also passed in the first class in the Intermediate Examination for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts of that University ; provided that in one of these Examinations or in some other Examination held by that University he has satisfied the Examiners in Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Arabic, or Persian. PUNJAB UNIVERSITY. Any graduate in Arts of the Punjab University who has, in accordance with the regula- tions of that University, passed the Entrance Examination, the Intermediate Examination in Arts, and the Bachelor of Arts Examination, and has in one of these Examinations or in some other Examination held by that University satisfied the Examiners in Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Arabic, or Persian, is entitled to be admitted to the privileges of Affiliation. UNIVERSITY OF MADRAS. Any Student of the University of Madras is entitled to be admitted to the privileges of Affiliation who has (i) in accordance with the regulations of that .University studied for not less than two years, at one or more institutions affiliated as first-grade Colleges for the education of adult Students ; (2) passed the Matriculation Examination of that University, and also passed in the first class in the First Examination in Arts, or passed the Exami- , nation for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, obtaining a first or second class in the English Language Division of that Examination ; provided that in one of these Examinations or in some other Examination held by that University he has satisfied the Examiners in Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Arabic, or Persian. D. EXPENSES. The necessary or usual Expenses of University residence . may be considered under the following heads : 32 I. FIXED PAYMENTS. (Caution Money* . . . . 15 o o) An Entrance Fee (which varies at different Colleges), say . . . . 500 Fee for Previous Examination (2 parts) 2 10 o ,, Examinations for Ordinary Degreef General . . . . . . 200 Special . . . . . . 300 ,, B.A. or LL.B. Degree . . . . 700 Total cost of Ordinary Degree 19 10 o * Trinity College requires also an additional deposit of 50. 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. (See the " Cambridge University Calendar " or " The Students' Handbook to the University and Colleges of Cam- bridge." University Press. Price 33. 4d., post free). THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. The University grants Degrees in the Faculties of Theo- logy, Arts, Laws, Music, Medicine, Science, Engineering, and Economics. It also holds an Examination and grants a " Teacher's Diploma " in Pedagogy. All the Examinations of the University, together with Prizes, Scholarships, Medals, etc., are open to Women upon exactly the same conditions as Men. 34 Candidates for Degrees must have passed the MATRICULA- TION EXAMINATION or been exempted therefrom. Every candidate for the Matriculation Examination must present a Certificate of his having completed his sixteenth year. He must show a competent knowledge of each of the following five subjects : (i) English One Paper. (2) Elementary Mathematics Two Papers. (3) Latin, or Ele- mentary Mechanics, or Elementary Physics Heat, Light, and Sound, or Elementary Chemistry, or Elementary Botany One Paper. (4) and (5) Two of the following subjects, neither of which has already been -taken under Section (3). One Paper in each subject. If Latin be not taken, one of the other subjects selected must be another Language from the List, either Ancient or Modern Latin, Greek, French, German, Arabic, Sanskrit, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Modern Dutch, Hebrew, Chinese, Ancient History, Modern History, Logic, Physical and General Geography, Geometrical .and Mechanical Drawing, Mathematics (more advanced), Elementary Mechanics, Elementary Chemistry, Elementary Physics Heat, Light and Sound, Elementary Physics Electricity and Magnetism, Elementary Biology Botany, .Elementary Biology Zoology. Fee, 2. Courses of study for the Matriculation Examination can be taken at some of the London Colleges, e.g., King's College, University Tutorial College, and Birkbeck College. The fees 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 the case of Medicine, Three) subsequent Examinations. The Intermediate Examinations in Arts and in Science take place in July in each year, and that for Bachelor of Laws in September. Fee, 5. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) Examinations take place in October, and the Bachelor of Laws Examination takes place in September. Fee, 5. The subjects of the Honours Examinations are more advanced than in the Pass Examinations. The Regulations respecting these Degrees and those of M.A., D.Sc., LL.D., and D.Lit, are to be found in the Calendar of the University, or separate Regulations for each Faculty may be obtained gratis on application to the Registrar. For Degrees in Medicine of the University, see pp. 63-69. All information respecting the conditions of Examinations for External Students can be had on application to the External Registrar, University of London, South Kensington, S.W. 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. KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. GENERAL INFORMATION.

If the Candidates before entrance to the University have passed the Intermediate Examination (or an Examina- tion recognised by the University as equivalent to that Examination) , they will be allowed to sit for the Final Examina- tion after two years' study ; but in no case will the degree be conferred on such candidates until they have completed a further year of study, after which they become eligible for the Degree of Master of Science or Master of Arts. 47 Candidates may obtain the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, after attendance on prescribed courses of study in the University extending over a period of at least four years after Matriculation. But if a Candidate before entrance to the University has passed the Intermediate Science or the First Engineering Examination (or an Examination recognised by the University as equivalent) , he will be allowed to enter on the second year courses of study, and will be eligible for the Degree after three years instead of four. The Degree of B.Sc. (Engineering), provided that the Engineering Matriculation Examination be passed on entering upon the course of study, is recognised as a preliminary quali- 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.

The object of this University is, besides promoting educa- tion in the usual subjects of University teaching, to provide instruction in such Sciences and Arts as are applicable or ancillary to the Manufacturing, Mining, Engineering, Metal- lurgical, Fuel, and Agricultural industries, and in other subjects of University teaching. 49 The University of Leeds grants Degrees in Arts, Com- merce, Science, Medicine, Surgery, Dental Surgery, and Law. It provides complete courses for the professions and occupa- tions of Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Gas and Mining Engineer- ing, Analytical Chemistry, Cloth Manufacture, Dyeing, Leather Manufacture, and Agriculture, and lectures and classes in sub- jects of general education suitable to those who desire to con- tinue their studies beyond the point reached at school. 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. COLLEGES FOR WOMEN OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE. Girton College and Newnham College are both connected with the University of Cambridge. The fees at Girton are 35 a term 105 a year, that is, for the three Cambridge terms, and at Newnham, 30 or 32 a term. The students at these Colleges have the advantages of University teaching, and many of them pass the Tripos Examinations.

In London the Medical Student has the choice of many excellent Schools. The Medical Faculty of the London Uni- versity is now formed of the twelve general hospitals of London to which Medical Schools are attached St. Bartholo- mew's, Charing Cross, St. George's, Guy's, King's College Hospital, London Hospital, St. Mary's, Middlesex, St. Thomas's, University College, Westminster, and the London School of Medicine for Women. The teaching arrangements, and accommodation at some of these are better than at others but the Student's choice will depend largely on personal 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. St. Bartholomew's Hospital allows Students to be ad- mitted to residence, on adducing satisfactory evidence as to character. For terms of board and residence, application should be made to The Warden, St. Bartholomew's Hospital and College, London. Arrangements for the board and residence of Students have also been made in connection with most of the other Hospital Medical Schools, particulars of which can be obtained from the respective Deans. There are also Metropolitan Ancillary Schools and Hos- pitals, affording facilities for clinical observation, as, Bethlem Royal Hospital, Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest (Brompton), City of London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest (Victoria Park), Central London Throat and Ear Hos- pital (Gray's Inn Road), London Throat Hospital (Great Port- land Street, W.), The Metropolitan Ear, Nose and Throat Hos- pital (Graf ton Street, Tottenham Court Road), Hospital for Women (Soho Square, W.), Royal Hospital for Diseases of the Chest (City Road), Royal Ear Hospital (Soho), Great Northern Central Hospital (Hollow ay Road, N.), New Hospital for Women (144, Euston Road, N.W.), London Temperance Hos- pital (Hampstead Road), National Hospital for the Paralyzed and Epileptic (Queen Square, W.C.), Queen Charlotte's Lying- in Hospital and Midwifery Training School (Marylebone Road, N.W.), Seamen's Hospital, and London School of Tropical Medicine (Royal Victoria and Albert Docks), Hospital for Sick Children (Great Ormond Street, W.C.), London Ophthalmic Hospital, " Moorfields " (City Road, E.C.), Royal Westminster 6i Ophthalmic Hospital (King William Street, West Strand), the Royal Eye Hospital (St. George's Circus, Southwark, S.E.), Tottenham Hospital (South Tottenham, N.), Central London Ophthalmic Hospital (Gray's Inn Road, W.C.), St. John's Hos- pital for Diseases of the Skin (Leicester Square, W.C.), St. Peter's Hospital for Stone and Urinary Diseases (Henrietta Street, Covent Garden), East London Hospital for Children and Dispensary for Women (Glamis Road, Shadwell, E.), Evelina Hospital for Sick Children (Southwark Bridge Road, S.E.), Victoria Hospital for Children (Chelsea, S.W.), West London Hospital (Hammersmith Road, W.), North-Eastern Hospital for Children (Hackney Road, Bethnal Green, E.), North- Western London Hospital (Kentish Town Road, N.W.). Most of these Hospitals admit Students for lectures or practice during three or six months at fees of from two to five or eight guineas. 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 : Bath Royal United Hospital ; Bedford County Hospital ; Bradford Royal Infirmary ; Sussex County Hospital, Brigh- ton ; Kent and Canterbury General Hospital, Canterbury ; Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, Derby ; Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Exeter ; West of England Eye Infirmary, Exeter ; The Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary and Eye Institution, Gloucester ; North Staffordshire Infitmary and Eye Hospital, Hartshill, Stoke-on-Trent ; Hull Royal Infirmary ; Leicester Infirmary ; Northampton General Hospital ; Norfolk and Norwich Hospital ; Nottingham General Hospital ; South- Devon and East Cornwall Hospital, Plymouth ; The Royal Hospital.

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, Pathology (Medical and Surgical), Anatomy (Medical and Surgical), Medical Jurisprudence, and Toxicology. The Fee will be 50 guineas, of which 20 guineas will be retained if the candidate fails to satisfy the examiners. For the ordinary degrees of M.B. andB.Ch. it is required that at least one of the five years of professional education shall be spent in attendance at the University College of Medicine, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. 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. THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD. Candidates for a medical degree must have matriculated in the University, or have passed some other approved examination. Degrees in the Faculty of Medicine are M.B., Ch.B., M.D., Ch.M. A candi- date for the degrees of M.B., Ch.B., must pursue a course of 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 studying at a hospital or dispensary Post-mortem Examina- tions, Fevers, Diseases of the Eye, Operative Surgery, Practical Anaesthetics, and one of the three following, viz. : Diseases of Children ; Diseases of the Larynx, Ear and Nose ; and Diseases of the skin. The Candidate must have attended, under the superintendence of a registered medical practitioner, 25 cases of labour, or have attended for three months the practice of a lying-in hospital, or of the maternity department of a general hospital or other public charitable institution and have con- ducted personally six cases of labour. He must have been properly instructed in Vaccination at a public vaccination station, by a public vaccinator, authorised by the proper Government authority to grant certificates of proficiency in vaccination. 75 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. MEDICAL DEGREES IN IRELAND. At the University of Dublin (Trinity College) the usual Medical Degrees and Diplomas are conferred, and also in the National University of Ireland and the University of Belfast, where all Degrees, Honours, Exhibitions, Prizes, and Scholar- ships are open to women as well as to men.

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, George Square. In Glasgow Mr. A. Duncan, LL.D., Faculty Hall, 242, St. Vincent Street.

The unsuccessful candidates may present themselves again three months after rejection. Candidates who have paid in advance 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. Further particulars may be obtained on application to the Secretary of the University, Brussels. There is an Association of British Graduates of the Brussels University, and the Hon- orary Secretary, Dr. F. H. Edwards, of Camberwell House, Camberwell, S.E., will be pleased to give information or re- ceive applications for membership. An article containing a full description of everything concerning the degree was pub- lished in the " British Medical Journal " on September 15 th, 1888. 8 4 THE^DIPLOMA IN PUBLIC HEALTH. The great value, and in many instances the necessity, which now attaches to the possession of this Diploma by Medical Practitioners practising in India, induces us to add the regulations, etc., under which it can be obtained. Two Degrees in Science, the B.Sc. and D.Sc. in the Department of Public Health, are given by the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Degrees of B.Hy. and D.Hy. by the University of Durham, and the Diploma in Public Health by the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Aberdeen, St. Andrews, Dublin, Belfast, and the National University of Ireland, the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of London, the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of Edinburgh, and the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, and the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of Ireland. The general regulations under which the Degrees or Diplomas can be obtained are in all cases similar ; they are governed by the General Medical Council, which body has issued the following rules relative to the matter : Rule i. A period of not less than twelve months shall have elapsed between the attainment of a registrable Qualifica- tion in Medicine, Surgery and Midwifery, and the admission of the Candidate to any Examination or any part thereof for a Diploma in Sanitary Science, Public Health, or State Medi- cine.

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. There are also Dental Hospitals in Scotland, and in many Provincial Towns. Approximately the Fees for instruction in Dentistry vary from 63 to 81 ; and for Examination, from 20 to 25 guineas. 8 7 THE ROYAL SANITARY INSTITUTE.

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 Books). 5. History of England and Geography. 6. Latin (Elementary). And two of the following subjects (one of 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. There are additional fees on admission to Fellowship. As changes are sometimes made it would be well to write for further information to the Secretary of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, 34, Moorg ate Place, E.C., the Secretary of the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, 50, Gresham Street, Bank, E.G., or the Secretary of the Society of Accountants in Edinburgh, 23, St. Andrew Square, Edinburgh. THE LONDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. This Chamber holds examinations for Junior and Senior Commercial Education Certificates. The subjects of the 92 Junior Examination are: English, Handwriting, Arithmetic,, a Modern Foreign Language, Commercial Geography, Com- mercial History and the Elements of Political Economy ; and optional subjects which are grouped as Mercantile, Linguistic, Mathematical or Scientific. The Senior Examination is on similar lines, and among its obligatory subjects are Foreign Languages, including Oriental. For further information apply to the London Chamber of Commerce, Oxford Court,. Cannon Street, .E.C. ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL TRAINING. The money necessary for an Engineering training, exclud- ing outfit and passage, and premiums for a practical course, but 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. UNIVERSITY ENGINEERING COURSES. For particulars of Courses of Engineering at some of the Universities, see London pp. 36, 38, Dublin p. 43, Manchester p. 45, Birmingham p. 47, Leeds p. 49. IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, including as integral parts : I. The Royal College of Science. II. The Royal School of Mines, and III. The City and Guilds College. 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.

The City and Guilds Technical College, Finsbury, embraces the following Departments : 1. Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics. 2. Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics. 3. Industrial and Technical Chemistry. 4. Applied Arts. In this Institution there are Day Classes for those who are able to devote one, two, or three years to systematic technical education, and Evening Classes for those who are engaged in industrial or commercial occupations in the daytime, and 100 ;who desire to receive supplementary instruction in the application of science and of art to the trades and manu- factures in which they are concerned or employed. The Fee for Day Students for a complete Course of Instruction is 20 for the Session, payable in advance at the beginning of the Session in October ; or 21 for the Session if paid in three instalments. These Fees include attendance at all the Lectures, Laboratory and Workshop Courses in the Department which the Student enters, as well as the use of apparatus and materials. Day Students before being admitted will be required to pass an Examination in English viz., Dictation, Analysis, 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.

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.
