portion, includes the Calendar proper, for the annus academicus
next ensuing ; also full details regarding the curricula of study
and examinations for Degrees in the various Faculties ;
specimens of Examination Papers; Prize and Merit Lists of
the year, and generally such information and announcements
as are subject to variation from year to year. This Part will
be published annually, while Part I. is intended to stand
without alteration for a series of years.
A Supplement to the Calendar, published yearly, contains
a List of the Books added to the University Library during

The University of Aberdeen derives its origin and endow-
ments from two separate, and for a long time independent,
foundations. The one of these was the University founded by
William Elphinstone, Bishop of Aberdeen, under the authority
of a Papal Bull, obtained in 1494-5, at the instance of King James
IV. ; within which University was afterwards founded, in 1505,
the College of St. Mary, subsequently called King's College.
From this Koyal Patronage, it was held to stand in a specially
close relation to the Sovereign, and is accordingly styled in Acts
of Scots Parliament — * Our Sovereine Lord His College and
University \ The other foundation was that of Marischal College,
founded in 1593, by George Keith, fifth Earl Marischal, under a
Charter ratified by Act of the Scots Parliament.
The first of these Institutions was constituted originally as
a *Studium Generale et Universitas Studii generalis, "as well
in Theology, in Civil and Canon Law, as in Medicine and in
the Liberal Arts, as also in any other lawful Faculty," with all
rights and privileges as to Degrees exercised by the * Universities
of Paris and Bologna'. Various confirmations by Parliament
followed, but among these, the most specific is that of the Parlia-
ment of 1670 {Fasti Ab, J p. 169-70), an Act of which Parliament
recites and sanctions all the privileges conferred as to Degrees,
not only equal to those enjoyed by Paris and Bologna, but also

* any other University whatsomever '. The power hereby conferred
on, and the authorisation thus given to the Degrees of the
University of Aberdeen, both for European and national validity,
are at once explicit and complete, more conciplete, indeed, as to
title than those belonging to any other single University in Scot-
land. This completeness of title has been acknowledged by the
Commission of 1858, who in their Report, on p. 222, in order to
establish the validity of certain degrees in another Scottish Uni-
versity, make appeal to the Charter of the University of Aberdeen,
as constituted in 149S, as furnishing the conclusive argument by
analogy upon which reliance is ultimately placed.
The two Colleges or Academic Corporations above named, both
of them exercising University rights and privileges, co-existed
for a long period as independent and rival institutions, and
although various attempts were made, and notably in 1641, to
form them into one Academic body, these attempts were un-
successful. The Caroline University of 1641 can hardly be said
to have had a real existence, and it was not until the year 1858,
on the passing of the first Universities' Act, that they became
united and incorporated into one university. The history of
each of these bodies falls, therefore, to be given separately, until
within a comparatively recent period.

By the Bull of |Erection of the University in U9S, the Bishop of
Aberdeen was constituted Chancellor; and a Rector is men-
tioned, although the mode of election to that office is not pre-
scribed. After the abolition of Episcopacy, the Chancellor, who
was henceforth a layman, was chosen for life by the Principal
and Masters ; the Rector sometimes taking part in the election.
The Officials of the College of St. Mary (in Nativitate\ more
commonly known as " The King's College," founded by Bishop
Elphinstone, in 3505, with a view to the work of instruction in
the newly erected University, were the Principal, who was also
Doctor or Professor of Theology ; a Doctor or Professor in each
of the Faculties of Canon Law, Civil Law, and Medicine ; a Sub-
Principal or Chief-Regent, a Humanist, and three out of six
Masters of Arts, Students of Theology on the Foundation, selected
by the Principal and Sub-Principal to act with the latter as
Regents in Arts. The three Regencies, which at first were held
by the incumbents only for the time (six years) necessary to
enable them to graduate in Theology, soon came to be regarded
as permanent appointments. According to the mode then general
in Academic teaching, each Regent (the Sub-Principal included)
conducted the studies of a class in all the branches of the
Curriculum in Arts during the three and a half years from its
entrance to its laureation.
Towards the end of the Sixteenth Century, the assent of the
Scots Parliament was given to a Nova Fundatio confining the
teachers each to a separate department, as at present. It is not
clear how far this alteration ever came at that period into active

Operation. The older system of continuous instruction under a
Regent was undoubtedly again in force in 1641, when the King's
College of Old Aberdeen was United, by ROyal Charter, with the
more recently-founded Marischal College of Aberdeen, under the
title of King Charles' University. The Act of Parliament ratify-
ing this union of the Colleges fell, by its date, under the General
Act Rescissory, passed after the Restoration, and so became a
dead letter.
After the foundation, in 1620, of a distinct Professorship of
Divinity, the Principal of the King's College, although still the
head of the Theological Faculty, ceased to give stated prelections
in Theology. By the Universities Act of 1858, the oflBce of
Principal in the united University was made tenable by Laymen,
^,nd the Principal, as such, has ceased,, in terms of that Act, " to
be or be deemed a Professor of Divinity ".
The office of the Canonist, which had become merely titular
after the Reformation, ceased to exist in the 17th century. The
Civilist became, in 1860, Professor of Law in the University of
Aberdeen.
The duties of the Doctor or Professor of Medicine (Mediciner),
originally intended to embrace intruction in all the branches of
Medical Education, were in 1839 restricted to the teaching of
Chemistry. In its original form, this Chair constitutes the most
ancient foundation for Instruction in Medicine in Great Britain.
In 1700, in accordance with an Act of a Royal Commission for
the Visitation of the Scottish Universities, the special duty and
designation of Professor of Greek were assigned to one of the
Regents, and a century later the functions and title of Professors
of Moral Philosophy, of Natural Philosophy, and of Mathematics,
were respectively allotted to the other three Regents. One of the
four Regent-Professors was styled Sub-Principal until 1860, when
the office was abolished.
The Professorship of Oriental Languages was founded in 1673,
In 1703, and again in 1732, the College appointed persons to be
Professors of Mathematics, but the attempt to establish the office
as a separate chair failed, through want of endowment. In 1800,
one of the Regents was appointed Professor in this department.

Although the Foundation Charter of 1693 contemplates the
existence of a Chancellor, it prescribes no mode of election, and
the successors of the Founder — the Earls Marischal — under the
title of " Patrons of the Earl Marischal's College " — seem to have
been regarded as Chancellors until their forfeiture in 1715. In
1727, a petition was presented to George II., representing the
difficulties experienced from the want of a Chancellor, and pray-
ing His Majesty to appoint the Duke of Cumberland- to the
Office. The result of the petition is unknown. The first recorded
appointment of a Chancellor is that of the Earl of Bute in 1761,
" as the office is become vacant by the death of his Grace the
Duke of Argyll ". From that time the Chancellor was elected for
life by the Senatus Academicus.
Besides a Eector to be chosen annually by the " suppositi,'^
divided into four Nations, the Charter established an official
entitled the Dean of Faculty (to be elected at the same time by
the Chancellor, Kector, Principal, Kegents, and Senior Minister
of Aberdeen), whose duty was to preside at Examinations, and at
the granting of Degrees. No formal record of these elections is
extant of earlier date than 1664.
The officials charged with the ordinary work of tuition were
the Principal and Three Kegents, to whom a fourth was added in
1620, when the Principalshipt was temporarily conjoined with
the Divinity Chair. It was the intention of the Founder that
* The Duke of Ciim'berland, who in 1727 was only six years of age, became, in
1746, Chancellor of St. Andrews.
+ The Principalship in Marischal College was in two instances, in the 17th
century, held by Doctors of Medicine.

each Regent should devote himself to the teaching of some
special branch or branches ; and this system seems to have
prevailed until the short-lived union with King's College in 1641,
after which date each Regent began to carry his students through
all the four years of the curriculum. After 1717 one of the
Regents was, in tardy compliance with the Act of Visitation of
1700, set apart to the duties of Professor of Greek, and in 1753,
the other Regencies became Professorships of Moral Philosophy,
of Natural Philosophy, and of Civil and Natural History re-
spectively.
To the original offices the following Professorships were added
— Mathematics in 1613,* Divinity in 1625, Medicine in 1700,
Oriental Languages in 1732, Chemistry in 1793, Church History
in 1833, Humanity, Anatomy, and Surgery in 1839, and that of
Medical Logic and Medical Jurisprudence in 1857.

(since 1858).
On the 2nd of August, 1858, the Royal assent was given to an
Act of Parliament (21 and 22 Victoria, cap. 83), intituled "an
Act to make provision for the better government and discipline
of the Universities of Scotland, and improving and regulating the
course of study therein ; and for the Union of the Two Univer-
sities and Colleges of Aberdeen ".
By Ordinance No. 7 of the Commissioners appointed by and for
the purposes of the aforesaid Act, approved by Her Majesty by
Order in Council, dated 30th June, 1860, the two foundations of
the " University and King's College of Aberdeen " and " Marischal
College and University of Aberdeen " were, from and after the
15th September, 1860, united and incorporated into One Univer-
sity and College, under the style and title of the " University
OF Aberdeen ".
The University as thus constituted is a corporate body, con-
sisting of a Chancellor, Rector, Principal, Professors, Registered
Graduates and Alumni, and Matriculated Students. Its govern-
ment is administered by the University Court, the Senatus
Academicus, and the General Council. It possesses all the
powers, privileges, and property of the two Universities and
Colleges above-mentioned, and, by virtue of the Universities Act
(Sect. I.), it takes rank among the Universities of Scotland as
from the date of the foundation of the University of 1494-5.
By the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889, (52 and 53 Victoria,
cap. 55), which, so far as is consistent with the tenor thereof, is to
be read and construed along with the afore-mentioned Act of
1858, important changes have been made in the administration
of the government of the University, and Commissioners were
appointed wuth extensive powers for the regulation of the
arrangements of this as well as the other Scottish Universities.
The University Court is much enlarged, and its powers are
greatly extended. Power was also given to the Commissioners
Digitized by VjOOQIC

to grant a constitution to the Students' Representative Council ;
and a new body, the Scottish Universities* Committee of the
Privy Council, which stands in a common relation to all the
Scottish Universities, has been instituted.
UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS.
The University Buildings, formerly of King's College, are
situated in College Bounds, Old Aberdeen, where the Classes in
the Faculties of Arts (as defined on p. 56) and of Divinity are con-
ducted. The Buildings contain also the Chapel, General Library,
Observatory, and Archaeological Museum.
Of these buildings, the most notable, architecturally, are the
Chapel and its crowned Tower, which have been preserved re-
markably intact through various vicissitudes, and together form
a group of Academic buildings unique in Scotland. The Tower is
flanked by strong buttresses, and terminates in a double crown,
surmounted by ball and cross. On two of these buttresses are
coats of arms of the Eoyal Patron, James IV. (dated 3504), and
his son, Alexander, Archbishop of St. Andrews, who perished, yet
a youth, with his father, at Flodden. Near the West Door is an
Inscription, still legible, defining the day and year (2nd April,
1500) when the .masons (latomi) began to build, under the
auspices of James IV., who is styled, among other honours,
** invictissimus," — internal evidence that the inscription is older
than 1513, the date of the disaster of Flodden. On a smaller
buttress near, we have the heraldic insignia of his Queen,
Margaret Tudor, through whom the Stuarts came to inherit the
English throne. The Chapel, which consists of a long nave
without pillars or side aisles, and terminates in a triangular
apse, was originally built of freestone, but is now enclosed on
the South Side in a casing of granite. Into this granite casing
outside have been inserted various interesting coats of arms,
including those of James IV., Bishop William Elphinstone,
Bishop Gavin Dunbar, Bishop William Stewart, Hector Boece
(these four l3eing recognised by their respective initials — W. E.,
G. D., W. S., H. B.), and among the subsequent and more recent
benefactors, a prominent place is assigned to the Simpson and the
Fraser Arms, in honour of Doctors Simpson and Eraser, whose
names are associated with very important and valuable Founda-
tions.
In the interior of the Chapel the most interesting object is the
elaborate and richly carved Oak Screen which is without any
parallel example in Scotland, and is believed to have few rivals
m Great Britain. There is every reason to believe that it is
contemporary with the Founder, who is said by his biographer to

have given " caelaturse, sellae, subsellia," t.c., " carvings, stalls,
and sub-stalls,** for the service of the Chapel. Other notable
features are the tomb of the Founder, Bishop Elphinstone ; the
double Pulpit, one Renaissance in style, bearing the name of
Patrick Forbes of Corse, the other Gothic (originally from the
Cathedral), containing the arms of Bishop William Stewart (with
initials V. 8.), who was one of the last of the Roman Catholic
Bishops of Aberdeen before the Reformation. (For an account of
the Stained Glass Windows, see later in the Calendar,)
The large square Tower in the N.E. corner of the Quadrangle is
known as Cromwell's Tower, having been built about 1658 under
the direction of General Monk and his officers, who bore rule for
Cromwell at that period in the North. With the exception of the
small Ivy Tower, all the other buildings, not previously referred
to, are modern, belonging entirely to the present century.
The University Buildings, formerly of Marischal College, are
situated in Broad Street, Aberdeen, where the Classes in the
Faculties of Science (except those of Mathematics and Natural
Philosophy), Law, and Medicine are conducted. The Buildings
contain also various Museums and the portion of the Library that
belongs to the departments of Natural Science, Law, and Medicine.
Of the original College Buildings in the New Town, hardly any
fragment remains, except the famous Stone with the Inscrip-
tion : " Thay haif said ; quhat say thay ; lat thame say," which is
still preserved in the vestibule of the existing building. The
foundation stone of the present building was laid by the Chan-
cellor, the then Duke of Richmond, in 1837, the edifice being
from the design of Archibald Simpson, who has left not a few
kindred monuments of his architectural taste and skill to adorn
his native city.
The site was originally occupied by the conventual buildings
of the Grey Friars or Franciscan Monastery, which accounts for
the proximity of the Greyfriars Church within what is now the
College Quadrangle.
A scheme of University Extension is now in progress, which,
when developed, will open up Marischal College to Broad Street,
and otherwise greatly benefit its surroundings. A portion of the
new buildings, including the Mitchell Hall and Tower, University
Union Rooms and Anatomical Department, was inaugurated in
October, 1895; the new North Wing, accommodating the De-
partments of Botany, Surgery, Pathology and Chemistry, was
completed and thrown open at the commencement of the Winter
Session of 1896; and the North Tower, containing Law Class-
room, Zoological Laboratory, Secretarial Rooms, etc., was opened
^n 1897. The new South Wing, which is devoted to the De-
partment of Natural Philosophy, will be completed in 1898.

due communication with the Senatus Academicus, and with the sanction of
the Chancellor, provided that all such proposed improvements shall be
submitted to the University Council for their consideration.
"8. To require due attention on the part of the Professors to Regulations as to
the mode of Teaching, and other duties imposed on the Professors.
"4. To fix and regulate, from time to time, the fees in the several Classes.

to deprive him of his office ; and during the suspension of any Professor,

By the Universities Act, of 1889, the Court was enlarged by
the presence of additional Assessors from the Senatus Academicus
and the General Council, and by the introduction of representa-
tives from the Town Council of Aberdeen. Its powers were also
greatly extended, mainly by the transference to it from the
Senatus of the administration of the property and revenues of
the University. These powers, subject to any Ordinances made
by the Commissioners, are thus defined in the Act : —
" (1.) To administer and manage the whole revenue and property of the Univer-
sity, and the college or colleges thereof existing at the passing of this Act,
including the share appropriated to such University out of the annual grant

rents, and generally to have all the powers necessary for the management
and administration of the said revenue and property :
"(2.) To review any decision of the Senatus Academicus on a matter within its
competency which may be appealed against by a member of the Senatus, or
other member of the University having an interest in the decision, wiuiin

tion all representations and reports made to it by the Senatus Academicus
and by the General Council :

The Library of the University dates from 1500, when Bishop
William Elphinstone, the founder of King's College, and Hector
Boeee, its first Principal, presented many MSS. and printed
books, several of which are still extant, bearing their donors'
autographs. Other early benefactors were William Hay, the first
Sub-principal, John Vans, the first Humanist, and Alexander
-Galloway of Kinkell, Rector of the University. Bishop William
Stewart, its Chancellor, 1532-45, " built the librarie hous, and with
s, number of books f urnisht the same ". A catalogue of books
appears in an Inventory of College property, prepared in 1542
for a Visitation (the first on record) by the Rector and his
Assessors.
In the seventeenth century the library of King's College re-
■ceived valuable gifts of medical works from Alexander Reid, M.D.,
the first lecturer on Surgery in London ; of theological works
from the Scougals, father and son ; and of works on law from
Thomas Sandilands, Commissary of Aberdeen. The collection of
early works on Civil and Canon law is the finest in Scotland. In
1624, Thomas Reid, Latin Secretary to King James VI., endowed
a Librarian at Marischal College, and bsqueathed *' the best
library that ever the north pairtes of Scotland saw," including " the
fairest and largest editions of the Classics that were printed from
the time of Aldus Manutius until the year 1615, the Philosophers,
Lawyers, Greek and Latin Fathers, with the works of the chief
critics, Scaligers, Casaubons, Lambins, etc., that flourished in
that period, and many valuable and curious MSS.". In the
•eighteenth century the most generous supporter of the library
was James Fraser, LL.D., Secretary of Chelsea Hospital, who pre-
sented many books to King's College, restored the library build-

ings there, and endowed the librarian. Among later benefactors-
were John, third Earl of Bute, Chancellor of Marischal College^
1761-93; Sir William Fordyce, Lord Rector, 1790-91; Professor
Hugh Macleod, D.D., Glasgow ; Miss Agnes Melvin ; Alexander
Henderson of Caskieben, M.D. ; Sir John Forbes, M.D. ; Robert
Wilson, M.D.
The library contains upwards of 125,000 volumes. The In-
cunabula number about 170, including 13 believed to be unique.
The revenues of the Library are : — I. Under the Acts 6 and 7
William IV., chap. 110, and 52 and 53 Victoria, chap. 55, an
annual Parliamentary grant of £640, in lieu of the Stationers*
Hall privilege enjoyed, from 1709 to 1836, under the Acts 8 Anne^
chap. 21, 41 George III., chap. 107, and 54 George III., chap. 156.
Such grant to be appropriated " for the purchase of books ".
2. Certain Library Funds amounting to about £200 annually.
3. The annual subscriptions and the composition-fees paid by
readers. 4.. By Ordinance No. 26 of the University Commis-
sioners (1889), the General Fund of the University is directed to
be applied inter alia to " providing for the equipment and up-
keep " of the Library.
In terms of Ordinance No. 2 of the Universities Commissioners
(1858), the General Library is kept in the Buildings formerly
belonging to King's College ; and works on Law, Medicine, Agri-
culture, and Natural Science are kept in the buildings formerly
belonging to Marischal College.*
The following are the regulations relative to the superin-
tendence and use of the Library, approved by the University
Court, 4th November, 1895 ; 9th February, 13th April and 8th June,
1897 — (Ordinances Nos. 68 and 89 of the Commissioners of 1858 ;.

BY-LAWS.
I. No book can be issued except to the borrower in person, or
to some one having written authority from him ; provided that it
shall be allowable for the Librarian to forward books by parcel
post or in a locked box by rail to any borrower who sends a
written request to that effect, and who prepays the carriage
either by stamps or postal order or by leaving a sum of money
with the Librarian. The borrower shall be liable for the books
on the Librarian producing a receipt of the despatch of the parcel
as requested. Suitable boxes may be rented from the Library.

the meantime, open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, from Ten a.m. to Four p.m., and on Saturday from
Ten A.M. to Two p.m. ; except during the Christmas Vacation, and
the months of August and September.

only from Ten a.m. to One p.m. on three days in each week in
each building, the days alternating.
IV. A daily exchange of books between the two portions of the
Library has been arranged, so that volumes borrowed from either
Library may be left by readers at the other ; and books required
from the General Library are sent to the Marischal College
Library, where they must be called for during Library hours.
V. Lists of all additions to the Library are posted up at short
intervals in both Colleges; and a List of Additions during

collection as representative as possible of: —
1. Books or pamphlets written or edited by Graduates or
Alumni of the University.
2. Books or pamphlets relating to or printed in the
Northern Counties of Scotland.
The sum that can be set aside from general Library funds for
these special purposes is very small, and the Committee con-
fidently appeals to former students and to all friends of the
University to present to the Library copies of any publications
which they may write or edit. All such, however small, will be

most recent works in Assyrian, Egyptian, and Phoenician, as
well as Classic Archaeology, together with a series of the leading

CROOM ROBERTSON FELLOWSHIP.

Fellowship minus the absolutely necessary expenses of management.
For so long, however, as the interest on the capital exceeds £200, only

this amount will be paid to the Fellow, and any surplus shall be credited
to capital. In the event of any income falling in owing to a temporal
vacancy or any other cause this income shall be added to the capital
account.
III. The Fellowship shall not be tenable -simultaneously with any
other Fellowship, Scholarship or Bursary which may be held only by a
student or graduate of the University of Aberdeen. In regard to Fellow-
ships and Scholarships which are foundations of other Universities or
Corporations than the University of Aberdeen, the Nominating Com-
mittee hereinafter appointed shall have power to decide which, if any, of
them may be held simultaneously wfth this Fellowship.
IV. The Fellowship shall be held by the same person for three (3)
years, conmiencing with the First day of May in the year of appointment,
or for such shorter period as the holder acts up to the conditions on which
it is bestowed.
y. The award of the Fellowship shaJl be made before the First (1st)
day of May on some suitable date in April after the declaration of the
names of the Graduates in Arts of the year, and the first award shall take
place in the April immediately succeeding the date of the foundation of
this Fellowship. As a rule^ a new appointment will be made every third
year, but on the occurrence of a vacancy through the death or disquali-
fication of the holder, a new selection shall be made in the next April
following thereon, and this holder's three years shall count from the date
of his selection.
VI. The Fellowship shall be awarded to one who has studied in the
University of Aberdeen from the time of his matriculation up to the time
of his taking the Degree of Master of Arts, who has not completed seven
(7) years from the date of his first matriculation as a regular student,
wno has graduated with honours in Classics or in Mental Science and
Philosophy, or in both, within the three years immediately preceding the
date of the award, and who is judged likely to continue his studies with
credit to himself and to the University. To obviate possible doubts it is
hereby provided that it shall be no bar to the eligibility of a graduate
either (1) that the continuity of his attendance as a student at the Uni-
versity of Aberdeen has been temporarily interrupted through ill-health
or other valid disabling cause, or (2) that for a part of his curriculum
previous to graduation he has given attendance at another University,

commendation of the Nominating Committee. This Committee, which

appointment, shall be, ex officio^ the Convener of this Committee, and is
hereby empowered to convene the Committee as occasion may require.
VIII. A meeting of the said Committee shall be held in accordance
with the provisions of Section V. when an appointment has to be made,

or a vacancy is about to occur, in order to consider and adjudicate on the
records and claims of the candidates eligible in the particular instance.
For the purposes of this trust it will be sufficient advertisement to insert
a notice in the ordinary advertisement board, intimating a month before
the date of meeting that the Nominating Committee will proceed to the
selection of a Fellow, so that candidates eligible may, if they so choose,
formulate their claims.
IX. If the Nominating Committee agree unanimously, or by a majority
of three against one, upon a single candidate as possessed of the strongest
claim and the highest promise, they shall present his name to the
Senatus for appointment to the Fellowship. But in the event of their
not agreeing upon a single candidate, either unanimously or by a majority
of three against one, the matter shall b^ submitted to the Principal of the
University for the time being, and his award when reported to the Sena-
tus shall be final. If the Principal decline, or find himself unable to de-
cide between the merits of the different candidates, then, but only then,
the Nominating Committee shall institute a special examination in the
two subjects, viz., of Classics and of Mental Science and Philosophy, and
the selection for appointment to the Fellowship shall be detennined by
the result of this examination.
X. The holder of the Fellowship shall ordinarily be bound, and shall
receive it only on condition that he agree to deliver annually during his
tenure thereof a course of lectures, never fewer than three in number,
but as a rule six in number, on either —
(1) Some Greek or^Latin author, or
(2) Some questions of Greek* or Boman History or literature or Art
or Archfleology, or the result of work done when attending the
British School at Athens, or
(3) Some question or branch of Mental Science or Philosophy, or of
the History thereof, or
(4) Some question or branch of Comparative Philology (Ancient or
Modern), or
(6) Some question or period of early Christian History or Litera-
ture, or
(6) Some subject of a nature similar to the foregoing and appro-
priate to the course of further study the holder of the Fellow-
ship intends to pursue, the subjects specified above being
intended only as examples indicating the form and aim of
the lectures, and not as prescribing a hard and fast line.
XI. The lectures shall be delivered in the College during the winter
session at such time as the Senatus may approve, and shall be open to
the attendance of students of the University and of others interested free
of charge.
XII. Notwithstanding my expressed preference for a course of lectures,
the Senatus may direct that, instead of '^delivering such a course, the
Fellow shall prepare and submit to them an essay or treatise on a selected
subject.
XIII. The selection of the subject of the lectures or essay will be
determined by the course of further study to which the holder intends
to devote himself, and will be subject to the previous approval of the
Digitized by

PRIZES.
Senatus. If the Senatus think fit they may prescribe the subject with
due regard to the Fellow's proposed course of study, or they may sanction
a proposal submitted by the Fellow on appointment.
N:B. — Large scope has been given for the selection of a subject in
order that the holder of the Fellowship may be able to undertake some
task that will be in the line of his further studies, and to apply himself to
it with good will. Thus if he is to study for the Church (either the
Established or any of the Non-established or Dissenting Communities)
his subject may properly be one relating to early Christian Literature or.
History, where there is still room for research. Again, if he means to
prosecute his Classical studies, or to devote himself to Philosophy, his
subject should be of a nature akin thereto, and likely to further his object.
XIV. If a holder of the Fellowship fail to perform the task set him,
or if he show by the mode of performance that he has not applied himself
to it with proi)er industry, the Senatus shall withhold the Fellowship from
him, declare it vacant, and proceed to make another appointment as before
provided. The order of the Senatus in this respect shall be final, and
shall not be open to review by the University Court, or in any Court of
Law or by any other authority. The holder of the Fellowship by accept-
ing it submits himself absolutely to the jurisdiction of the Senatus.
XV. If, at any time, circumstances arise which make it desirable to
modify one or more of the provisions of this scheme, the University Court

SCHOLARSHIPS.
EXHIBITION (1851) SCIENCE SCHOLARHIP.
Her Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851,
having resolved to found a number of Scholarships in Science^
have offered to this University the right of nominating a person
to hold one of these Scholarships every alternative year. The
Scholarships are of the annual value of £150, and are tenable for
two years, and it is expected that the next nomination by this
University will take place in 1900,*
The Commissioners require the following conditions to be
satisfied by the person selected to hold the Scholarship : —
(a) That such person is a British subject.
(6) That he has been (or will at the end of the Session of
Studies preceding his nomination have been) a bond-
fide Student of Science for a term of three years ia
an Institution or Institutions in which special atten-
tion is given to scientific study,
(c) That he has been, for a full year preceding the date of
his nomination, a student of the University of Aber-
deen (or has been a student of this University for a
full year ending within twelve months prior to the
date of his nommation, and since ceasing to be such
student has been engaged solely in scientific study).
{d) That he indicates high promise of capacity for advancing
Science or its applications by original research.
[Evidence of having been engaged in scientific research
will be strictly required, this being one of the main
qualifications for a Scholarship.]
(6) A nominee, whose age exceeds thirty, will be accepted
only under very special circumstances.
(/) The Scholarship may be held at any University in
England or abroad, or in some other institution to
be approved by the Commissioners. A scholar will
be expected to spend at least one year of his tenure
of office at an institution other than this University ;
* The Commissioners reserve to themselves the riffht of withdrawing at any
time the privilege of nomination, or otherwise altering tne scheme of foondation.

SCHOLARSHIPS IN SCIENCE. 81
and the continuation of the Scholarship for the
second year will be dependent on the work done
in the first year being satisfactory to the Commis-
sioners.
(g) The nominee will be required during his tenure of the
Scholarship to devote himself to those branches of
Science, such as Physics, Mechanics, or Chemistry,
the extension of which is specially important to our
national industries, and he must pledge himself not
to hold, during such tenure, any position of emolu-
ment.
In addition to these conditions, the University Court of this
University have sanctioned the following regulations : —
(1^ The Scholarship shall be awarded for the best thesis em-
bodymg the results of original research in Physics or Chemistry,
carried out by the Candidate ; but in the event of two or more
theses appearing to the Examiners to be of equal merit, an ex-
amination may be resorted to as a means of deciding between
such Candidates.
(2) The Candidates being otherwise of equal merit, the
Scholarship shall, as far as possible, be awarded on alternate
occasions for distinction in Physics and Chemistry.
(3) The Competition shall be open to all Bachelors of Science
of this University of not more than three years' standing, and
only to such.
(4) The Professors of Natural Philosophy and Chemistry shall
be the Examiners.
