NOTE
The separate publication of the Alphabetical Record
of University Honours and Distinctions, under the
title of Oxford Honours, 1 220-1 894, has for the present
rendered superfluous Part II of the Historical Register,
published in 1888. But pending the preparation of
a complete new edition of the Register, it has been
thought advisable to continue to issue the strictly
historical portion of this work. For full particulars
of the Honours, &c, conferred since the end of Trinity
Term, 1888, the reader must for the present be re-
ferred to the current edition of the Oxford University
Calendar.

THE HISTOKICAL EEGISTEE
OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNIVERSITY.
The earliest forms of the Constitution of the University of Oxford
appear to have heen based on those of Paris, though no historical
details as to its origin exist. The Teachers and Scholars of whose
presence there is evidence in the accounts of the teaching of Robert
Pullus (1133) and Vacarius (about 1149) had arrived at some degree
of academic organization before the end of the twelfth century, the
existence of Masters and Scholars being recorded about 1185 in con-
nexion with the celebrated visit of Giraldus Cambrensis. In 1214 the
Bishop of Lincoln, the ecclesiastical superior of the Clerks thus gathered
within his diocese, appointed a Chancellor for their government, and
the Constitution which arose out of such elements has been moulded
into its present form, in part by the authority of the Crown and of
Parliament, in part by the inherent self-governing power of the
University itself.
It is now a corporate body, known for centuries by the style or title
of The Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Oxford ;
a title confirmed by the Legislature itself in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth1. It is invested with all the usual powers of corporations,
and also with various peculiar privileges, such as the right of exercising
jurisdiction civil and criminal over its members, certain unique
municipal prerogatives within the City of Oxford, representation by
two Burgesses in the House of Commons, and in particular with the
power of conferring Degrees as a token of proficiency in certain studies.
1 " Be it therefore enacted by the authority of this present Parliament, that the Eight
" Honourable Eobert Earl of Leicester now Chancellor of the said University of Ox-
" ford and his successors for ever, and the Masters and Scholars of the same University
" of Oxford for the time being, shall be incorporated and have a perpetual succession
"in fact deed and name, by the name of The Chancellor. Masters, and Scholar.'' of the
'' University of Oxford, and that the same Chancellor Masters and Scholars of the
"same University for the time being, from henceforth by the name of Chancellor
"Maxtor* and Scholars of the University <f Oxford, and by none other name or names,
" shall be called and named for evermore." Stat. 13 Eliz. c. 2'J. s. 1.
1 I UNIVEBSIT? OF OXFORD.
TheUniversity also pr< scribes the studies and other conditions requisite
to the attainment of each Degree, publicly examines candidates, and in
- publicly classifies them according to their merits. Further,
ont of funds arising from its own endowments, from the dues levied from
it- members, from trusts devoted to the encouragement and reward of
various branches of learning, and from contributions proceeding from
the revenues of colleges, the University provides through its statutes f«>r
the appointment of professors and readers in different departments of
knowledge, and award- scholarships and prizes to its members as marks
of academic distinction.
It- ancient privileges have been recognised and augmented by a
long succession of Royal Charters from the earliest period ; and these
Charters themselves have been sanctioned by Parliament ; for in an
Act. intituled "An Act for the Incorporation of the two Universities,"
it is expressly declared, that all Letters Patent of preceding Sovereigns
granted to the University of Oxford " shall be good, effectual, and avail-
able in law, according to the form, words, sentences, and true meaning
of every of the said Letters Patent, as amply, fully, and largely, as if the
same Letters Patent were recited verbatim " ! in the Act itself.
From early times ecclesiastical in its character, conformity to the
tenets of the national Church long remained a condition of member-
ship ; but since the abolition of religious tests in 1871, the University
is open, without respect of birth, age, or creed, to all men who can
satisfy certain constituted authorities (i. e. a College or the Censor of
the Non-Collegiate Students) of their good character and educational
fitness, and who are prepared to conform to University discipline and
pay the requisite dues. Any person who has been admitted as a
Mi mber is, whilst he remains a member, amenable to the regulations
of the University, and has access to its privileges according to his
academic rank, and he can compete for all its degrees, prizes and
distinctions, excepting that degrees in Divinity are still confined to
members of the Church of England. The Members at present number
upwards of eleven thousand. Of these about three thousand are Under-
graduates, more then eight thousand being Graduates who, after com-
pleting their educational course and proceeding to their degrees, have
kept their names upon the books by the payment of the customary dues.
The government of the University is in the hands of those of its
Members who have taken the degree of Master of Arts or of Doctor
in the Faculties of Civil Law, Medicine, or Divinity. These consti-
tute the House of Convocation, but certain of the functions of the

University are discharged by more limited bodies — the Ancient
House of Congregation, the Congregation of the University of Oxford,
the Hebdomadal Council, the Vice-Chancellor and the Proctors, the
Delegates, Curators, and Committees appointed to supervise special
departments of University business.
With the exception of rare interventions on the part of the Crown, the
University had, until about the middle of the nineteenth century, always
been governed by statutes of its own making. In the course of cen-
turies such statutes, made from time to time, as occasions seemed to call
for them, without sufficient reference to previous enactments, grew into
a confused mass without order or arrangement, with which many of the
usages of the University were at variance. Many attempts were made
to remedy this evil, and at length in the Chancellorship of Archbishop
Laud (1630-41) a digested code of laws, compiled by special delegate,
was ratified by Convocation under the title of Corpus Stalutorum
Universitatis Otonien sis, which is the basis of the present Statute-book1,
of which an annual edition is issued by the Clarendon Press.
Even before tbe completion of the Laudian code in 1636 and down to
the passing of the Act for reforming the University in 18542, the
University effected its legislation, and transacted the whole of its
business as a corporation, in two distinct assemblies, the HOUSES OF
Congregation and of Convocation.
The House of Congregation consisted solely of Regent*, whether
"necessario regentes" or " regentes ad ijlacitum." All Doctors of every
faculty, and all Masters of Aits, are necessary regents for the space of
two years after their admission to regency, that is, for two years from
the end of the term in which they are admitted to their respective
degrees, Easter and Act terms being counted as one. Persons of the
following descriptions, being members of Convocation, are regentes ad
placitum: all Professors; all Doctors of every faculty resident in the
University; all Heads of Colleges and Halls, or, in their absence, their
deputies; the Public Examiners, Moderators, and Masters of the Schools ;
the Deans or Censors of Colleges ; and the Censor of Students not be-
longing to any College or Hall, or his deputy. The term regi nf imported
government or superintend: nee in the Public Schools of the University
over the disputations and other academical exercises which in ancient
times were performed there. Necessary regents were bound in rotation,
regents ad placitum were at liberty when they pleased, to superintend
those exercises, and to examine candidates for degrees. The House of

12 UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.
Conciliation tlicivfurr comprises all those persons who were specially
charged with the education and discipline of the University, whether
in public "f within the several Colleges and Halls.
Tli. BOUSE of CONVOCATION consists both of Regents and Non-
Regmt$t that is, of all persons who have been admitted to regency,
provided that, from the time of their admission to the degree which
made them regents, their names have been constantly kept on the books
of some College or Hall or on the Register of Students not belonging
to any College or Hall, and that they have borne all burdens and paid
all lies required of them by the Statutes. The same position is held
by those who have been admitted to the degree of Master of Arts or
Doctor in any of the three faculties by Diploma or by Decree of Con-
vocation ; but a degree conferred " honoris causa " only conveys no right
of voting. Masters of Arts and Doctors, who, having ceased to be
members of the University, have had their names again placed upon
the books of some College or Hall, or on the Begister of Students not
belonging to any College or Hall, or who have been incorporated from
Cambridge or Dublin, may, after the performance of certain conditions,
claim to be admitted to the House ; but no such person is entitled to
vote in Convocation before the expiration of one hundred and eighty
days from the time of his admission.
The Chancellor, or the Vice-Chancellor, or one of his four deputies,
and the two Proctors, or their respective deputies, preside in both
Houses ; and their presence in them on all occasions is indispensably
requisite. The number of regents required to make a Congregation
is nine at the least, besides the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors : for a
Convocation no particular number of members is required. In both
Houses the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor singly, and the two Proctors
jointly, have the right to stop all matters, except elections, by an
absolute negative : otherwise every question is decided by the majority
of votes.
For the better government of the University, a sort of Council,
devised probably by Archbishop Laud, was instituted in 1631 by King
Charles I. It consisted of the Heads of Houses and the Proctors, and,
from being appointed to hold a weekly meeting every Monday, became
known by the name of the Hebdomadal Boaed ; but it was con-
vened by the Vice -Chancellor on other days also, as occasion required.
The business of this Board was to deliberate on all matters relating to
the maintenance of the privileges and liberties of the University, or to
the due observance of its statutes and customs, and generally to con-
sider and discuss every measure tending to the improvement or benefit
CONSTITUTION. 13
of the University before such measure should be submitted for the
approval of the whole academical body in Convocation assembled. It
thus had the initiative in all the legislation of the University, and in
fact no question of any sort could be submitted to the votes of Convo-
cation without the sanction of this Board.
In this constitution of the University the Act of Parliament of 1854
above referred to (17 and 18 Vict. c. 81) made a considerable change.
It left indeed, at least it has been interpreted as having left, the two an-
cient assemblies of Congregation and Convocation : but it added a third,
which is now called, in the terms of the Act, the Congregation of
the University oe Oxford ; and it transferred all the " powers,
privileges, and functions" of the old Hebdomadal Board to another
body of persons, called the Hebdomadal Council.
The Hebdomadal Council consists of some official and some
elected members. The official members are the Chancellor, the Vice-
Chancellor, the late Vice-Chancellor (for one year at least from the
expiration of his term of office), and the two Proctors. The elected
members are six Heads of Colleges or Halls, six Professors, and six
other members of Convocation, who however may be Heads of Houses
or Professors, and the six Professors may be Heads of Houses. These
persons are elected by the Congregation of the University of Oxford
for six years, in such a manner that one-half of each of the three
classes vacate their seats every three years, being, however, capable of
re-election. To this Council, as has been stated above, "all powers,
privileges, and functions possessed or exercised by the Hebdomadal
Board" have been transferred, and therefore it has the initiative in all
the legislation of the University.
The ancient House OF Congregation remains unchanged in
its constitution, but it has now nothing to do with legislation in any
form, and its business is confined almost exclusively to the granting of
degrees, a matter upon which in ancient times the persons of whom the
House is composed were necessarily the fittest judges \
The new Congregation of the University of Oxford
comprises, besides certain officials, persons who have resided within one
1 The framers of the Act of 1854 certainly intended that the old Congregation should
he superseded by the new, which, as the Bill was first drawn, was to consist of those
persons only who in these days are engaged in the discipline and education of the
University, just as the ancient House is composed of those only who in ancient times
were charged with that discipline and education. But this restriction being opposed
in the House of Commons, the minister who had charge of the Bill consented to admit
into the new assembly all resident Members of Convocation. And, shortly after the
passing of the Act, a legal opinion was given by a lawyer of great eminence, that it did
not abolish the old House of Congregation.

nnli' and a-half of Carfax for twenty weeks during the year which
ended on the Brat day of September last preceding. The Chancellor or
Vice-chancellor, with the Proctors, preside at its meetings, as in the
two ancient Bouses. No particular number of members is requisite to
make a meeting. Its business is confined almost exclusively to matters
nt legislation.
A New Statute having been in the first place framed by the
Hebdomadal Council, must then be promulgated, after clue notice, in
Congregation, and the question that the principle of the Statute as
stated in the Preamble be approved must then be submitted to it. Any
member of Congregation may propose amendments at the time of
promulgation ; and such amendments, provided that they have been
seconded by another member of Congregation, and that they are not in
the judgment of the Chancellor or his Deputy inconsistent with or
irrelevant to the principle of the statute as stated in the Preamble,
must be printed and taken into consideration at a subsequent meeting
of Congregation. The Council may at the same time and on the same
paper print any amendments which they may think fit to propose. If
any such amendments, whether proposed by the Council or by individual
members of Congregation, are adopted by Congregation, it is in the
power of either the Council or any twelve members of Congregation to
propose further amendments. If no amendment be proposed, or when
all the proposed amendments and further amendments, if any, have
been considered in Congregation, the question that the statute do
pass is submitted to Congregation on a subsequent day, of which not
less than three clear days' notice must be given. "Whenever it may
seem expedient to the Council, resolutions containing the chief points
of a proposed statute may be submitted to Congregation before the
statute itself is framed: and in the event of such resolutions being
approved, Congregation may refer them to a select committee for the
purpose of drawing up a statute. No right of negative is allowed to
the Vice-Chancellor or the Proctors in this assembly, but every ques-
tion is decided by the majority of votes. A statute approved by
Congregation is to be submitted to Convocation after an interval of
seven entire days for final adoption or rejection.
In the House of Convocation, consisting (as may be said) of all
Masters of Arts and all Doctors of the three superior faculties who
have their names upon the books of some College or Hall or on the
register of Students not belonging to any College or Hall, every formal
act of the University, and all its business as a corporate body, except
only what relates to the granting of ordinary degrees, is done and
CONSTITUTION. 15
concluded. Statutes, which have passed Congregation, do not become
binding enactments until they have had the assent of this assembly.
Matters of special or individual concern, and such as require immediate
provision, are settled by decree of Convocation. Honorary Degrees are
given by consent of Convocation, and. it. is in this House also that
eminent persons occasionally receive degrees conferred out of the
ordinary course either by decree or by diploma. It is in Convocation
also that nearly all elections to offices in the gift of the University take
place. Petitions to Parliament, and other documents which require
the common seal of the University for their validity, here receive the
sanction of the academical body. No proposition, however, whether
general or special, can originate in Convocation itself, either as a sub-
stantive measure, or as an amendment to such a measure : nothing is
brought forward here but what has been devised and approved by the
Hebdomadal Council ; and Convocation has only to accept it in the
very terms in which it is proposed, or to reject it altogether.
For the better management of certain matters, chiefly matters of
administration or detail, Convocation often delegates its authority, or
some limited portion of it, to a committee chosen from itself ; and the
persons selected for such committee are called Delegates or Curators.
Thus there are standing Delegacies of the Press and of Privileges ; and
others are appointed occasionally to carry up addresses to the Throne, or
for the transaction of business away from Oxford. These Delegates are
either elected or approved by Convocation, or are at least nominated by
the Proctors in Convocation. But of late years Delegacies have been
constituted with whose election or approval Convocation has nothing to
do directly. There is a Delegacy of the Museum, of which two-thirds are
elected by the Congregation of the University, the other third being the
Vice-Chancellor and Proctors ; and a Delegacy of Local Examinations,
of which (besides the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors) one-third is nomi-
nated by the Hebdomadal Council from itself, one-third by the Con-
gregation of the University, and one-third by the Vice-Chancellor
and Proctors. And it has been provided by statute, that, of ex-
traordinary Delegates appointed for the conduct of business within
the precinct of the University, one-third is to be elected by the Heb-
domadal Council from its own body, the Council itself having been
elected by the Congregation of the University.
The constitution of the University as settled under the Act of
1854 was not affected by the legislation undertaken by the Commis-
sioners appointed under the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge
Act, 1877.
OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
The Chancellor.
The Chancellor of the University of Oxford is elected by the
Members of Convocation, and (unless he resigns in the meantime)
holds the office until death. Anciently this office was holden for very
short periods, seldom for more than four years, and for the most part
by some resident member of the University, until the Chancellorship
of John Russell, Bishop of Lincoln, who was elected in 1483, and re-
tained it till his death in 1494. No stipend is assigned to it : on the
contrary, the custom of many years has entailed expenses on its holder.

20 OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
The IIigh Steward.
The BenesGhallus, or High Steward, is appointed by the Chan*
cellar, and approved by Convocation. His special duty is to hear and
determine criminal causes of the gravest kind, such as treason and
felony, at the mandate of the Chancellor, and according to the laws of
the land and the privileges of the University, whenever the prisoner is
a scholar or privileged person resident within the precinct of the Uni-
versity. The office is holden for life. There is also a Deputy Steward,
appointed in like manner. The ancient stipend of the High Steward
is £5 a-year ; the Deputy Steward has £2.
The privilege of having such criminal causes tried by an Officer of
the University was first granted by Henry IV in 1406 ; and, although the
language of his charter is quite consistent with the supposition that the
office of High Steward was in existence previously, there is no record
to shew that it really did exist before that time. Indeed the Registers
of the University supply no name of any High Steward for nearly fifty
years afterwards.

VICE-CHANCELLORS. 21
The Vice-Chancellor.
The Chancellors from the earliest times, even when they were still
resident in the University, were assisted in the administration of justice
and in the discharge of other business by Deputies, whose number
varied, and who perhaps were often appointed for special purposes
rather than for definite periods of time. These Officers were for the
most part called Commissaries ; till in the middle of the sixteenth
century the title Pro-CFancellor or Vice-Chancellor began to be em-
ployed, the latter of which, from the year 1574, has quite superseded
the ancient name. The Commissaries appear to have been always
nominated by the Chancellors, except for the few years during which
the Edwardine Statutes, given by the King's Visitors in 1549, were in
full force. In 1568 the Earl of Leicester set aside the right of free
election, which those statutes had vested in the House of Congregation,
and resumed the ancient practice. The office seems to have become
annual in the earlier part of the sixteenth century.
Under the Laudian Statutes the Vice-Chancellor is annually
nominated by the Chancellor from the Heads of Colleges. The Letters
of nomination are read in Convocation, shortly before the beginning of
Michaelmas Term, by the Senior Proctor, and the new Vice-Chancellor
then immediately makes the requisite declarations, and enters upon
his office. The Vice-Chancellor appoints four deputies, or Pro-
Vice-Chancellors, from the Heads of Colleges, who are to exercise his
power in case of his illness or necessary absence from the University.
The office of late has been generally holden for four years.
A small portion of the annual benefaction of c£'200, bequeathed to
the University by Nathaniel, Lord Crewe, Bishop of Durham, who
died in 1721, and also a small benefaction from Sir Henry Savile,
were assigned to the Vice-Chancellor ; and a bequest of John "Wills, D.D.,
Warden of Wadham College, who died in 1806, produces about ,£240
a year for the endowment of the office. Under a Statute, which was
passed in 1855, the annual income is made up to £600 from the
University Chest.

OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
Froctoes.
The two Troctors of the University were elected anciently in
Convocation ; but, the elections having hccoine very tumultuous, the
method was changed by an ordinance of King Charles I, and from the
year 1629 the choice was made within the several Colleges according to
i cycle of twenty-three years, which lasted through ten revolutions.
In 1869 a new cycle of thirty years began, adapted to the then existing
condition of the Colleges, and comprising with them the Halls jointly.
In and after 1889 the Proctors will be elected by the Colleges and the
iirw foundation of Keble College singly, and the Non-Collegiate
Students and Private Halls jointly, in a cycle of simple rotation by
which an election will fall to each of the electing bodies once in eleven
years. The electors are at present all those members of the several
Societies who, being Members of Convocation, are also, or have at any
time been, Members of the Congregation of the University, and all those
Fellows and Scholars of a College who are Members of Convocation.
Any such elector may be elected to the office, provided he has com-
pleted four and has not completed fifteen years from his admission to
Eegency in Arts. The election is made on the Wednesday after the
first Sunday in Lent ; and on the second (or occasionally on the first)
Wednesday after Easter the new Proctors are admitted to their offices
in Convocation, and take their seats. They nominate each two Masters
of Arts, of three years' standing at the least, to be their respective
deputies or Pro-Proctors. Each Proctor receives an annual stipend of
.£350, each Pro-Proctor £80.
Proctors from the year 1267.

The Chancellor's Court.
The Chancellor has jurisdiction in almost all causes, whether civil,
spiritual, or criminal, in which scholars or privileged persons resident
within the precinct of the University are parties. For the exercise of
it a Court is holden every Friday during Term in the Apodyterium of
the Convocation House, in which the Vice-Chancellor is the presiding
Judge, and the two Proctors of the University may, if they please, sit
as assessors. But for the better despatch of business the V ice-Chan-
cellor appoints some Doctor or Bachelor of Civil Law to sit with him as
ASSESSOR and to act as Judge for him in his absence. The annual
stipend of such Assessor is ,£40. The practice of the Court in all cases
used to be nearly the same as the practice of the Court of Admiralty :
but by new Rules, made in pursuance of the Act 25 and 26 Vict. c. 26.
s. 12, the form of procedure in civil cases, since March 1, 1865, very
much resembles the form in County Courts. Appeals from it may be
made, first to the House of Congregation, then to the House of Convo-
cation, (for which purpose Delegates to hear appeals are annually
appointed in each House,) and finally, if the three judgments differ, to
the Queen in Chancery.
The Registear of the Court is appointed by the Chancellor.
He must be a Master of Arts or a Bachelor of Civil Law. Besides the

The Public Orator.
The office of Public Orator was first permanently established in 1564,
the previous custom being that the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor
selected some fit person on each occasion to perform the duties attached
to it. It is his business to write letters and addresses and to make
orations in the name of the University upon public occasions, to present
those on whom the honorary degree of Master of Arts is to be conferred,
and to deliver the annual Creweian Oration alternately with the Pro-
fessor of Poetry. He is one of those appointed to adjudge several of
12 OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
the University Prizes. He must be a Member of Convocation, and is
elected by that body. The stipend originally assigned to the office was
a yearly pension of twenty imblos, X'C, 1.5s. 4<1., from the University
Chest ; which was increased in 1811 by a grant of ,£70, and again in
L866 by a still further giant of £60, making a total of £130 from the
Bame BOnrce, and by X'"J0 from Lord Crewe's benefaction.
In 1636 King Charles I. annexed a Canon ry of Christ Church to this
office: hut the grant, never having been eonfirmed by Act of Parlia-
ment, was disregarded in 1660, when Robert South was elected Oiator ;
and, although hewas made a Canon ten years afterwards, that dignity
has not been conferred on any of his successors.
A Statute made by the University Commissioners in 1881 renders
the Public Orator subject to the jurisdiction of the Visitatorial Board

KEEPER OF THE ARCHIVES. 43
Clebks of the Market.
Control of the Market, in order to secure fair dealing in provisions of
all kinds, was granted to the Chancellor l>y King Edward III. in 1355.
In the days when prices were fixed by authority it was the Chancellor
who fixed them in Oxford ; and whatever jurisdiction in such matters
can now be exercised by magistrates anywhere is exercised by the
Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor here. Two Clerks of the Market are
annually appointed, one by the Chancellor, the other by the Vice-
Chancellor. They must be either Principals of Halls, Masters of i^rts,
or Bachelors of Divinity, Medicine, or Law. The stipend of each
Clerk is fixed by Statute at ,£26 a year. There is also a Deputy
Clerk.
The Keeper oe the Archives.
This office was instituted in 1634. It is the Keeper's duty to take
charge of and to arrange all the muniments and papers concerning
either the Estates, Possessions, Eights, and Privileges of the Univer-
sity, or the Endowments of Professorships, and all the Eegisters and
Records of the University. He is a Delegate of Privileges ex officio.
He is elected by Convocation. The yearly stipend of the office, origin-
ally ^40, was raised in 1828 to ,£'100, but was restored to <£'40 in
1884, in wThich year a further endowment calculated to produce about
,£63 annually was secured to the office by the liberality of the then
Keeper, Dr. Griffiths.
A Statute made by the University Commissioners in 1881 renders
the Keeper of the Archives subject to the jurisdiction of the Visitatorial
Board created by the same Statute.

PKOFESSOESHIPS.
The pages immediately following contain an account of the founda-
tion of each of the Professorships now existing within the University,
and of the manner in which the appointments to them are made.
It should here be mentioned that one of the chief features in the legis-
lation carried out by the University Commissioners under the Act of
1877 was the augmentation of the value of many of the Professor-
ships, by attaching to them Fellowships and other emoluments drawn
from the revenues of Colleges, while the endowment of many new Chairs
has been provided for from the same sources.
As a general rule Professorships are now tenable for life. Except
in the case of those Chairs the appointment to which belongs to the
Crown, and of a few others, the election to every Professorship is vested
in an Electoral Board consisting of not fewer than five or more than
seven members, and provision is made for the representation on each
Board of the College (if any) from whose revenues the Professorship is
endowed or augmented.
The general duties of Professors are regulated under a Statute made
by the Commissioners defining the amount of residence, number of
lectures, and course of instruction required of each. The particular
duties assigned to each Professor are partly regulated by the same
Statute, and partly by Statutes made by the same Commissioners for the
several Professorships. Under another Statute of the Commissioners, a
Visitatorial Board has been constituted, consisting of the Vice-Chan-
cellor and six other members of the University of the degree of M.A.
at the least, to which is committed the duty of enforcing the per-
formance of the obligations attaching to the Professorships.
Regius Professorships of Divinity, Ciyll Law, Medicine,
Hebrew, and Greek.
These five Professorships, founded by King Henry VIII, were settled
and confirmed by him in 1546. To each of them he assigned a yearly
stipend of ,£40, to be paid by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster,
then newly founded ; but they relieved themselves of the charge by
making over to the King certain estates with which he had partly en-
dowed them, and the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church were then
charged by the King with the payment of the stipends of the Professors
of Divinity, Hebrew, and Greek ; the Professors of Civil Law and
Medicine receiving theirs from the Royal Exchequer. The appointment
to each Professorship is made by the Crown.

MaEC.AKET PROFESSORSHIP OF DrVESITY.
This Professorship, the oldest existing in the University, was founded
in 1602 by Margaret, Countess of Richmond, mother of Henry VI J,
and endowed with an annual pension of twenty marks. In 1627 King
Charlee I annexed to it a Prebend in Worcester Cathedral, which was
commuted by Act of Parliament in 1840 for a Canonry of Christ
< Ihnrch. ( Originally the election was vested in the Graduates in Divinity,
and the office became vacant every two years, but was continued by
re-election for life. Now, from 1858, not only all Graduates in Divinity,
but all those Members of the Congregation of the University who are
at least in Deacon's Orders, are electors, and the election is for life.
The Professor must be either a Graduate in Divinity or a Master of
Arts of seven years' standing and in Priest's Orders.

SAVILIAN PEOFESSOESHIP OF GEOMETRY. 51
Savilian Pkofessoeships of Geometry and Astronomy.
In the year 1619 Sir Henry Savile, Knight, Warden of Merton
College, founded and endowed two Professorships, one in Geometry,,
and the other in Astronomy. The Professors might be chosen from any
part of Christendom, provided they were persons of good character and
repute, well skilled in mathematics, and twenty-six years of age : if
Englishmen, they were to be M.A. at the least.
Under Statutes made for New College by the Commissioners of 1877
a Fellowship in the College, with an emolument of <£200 a-year, is
attached to each Chair, and in addition to the income of such Fellowship
and to that arising from the Savilian endowment, each Professor is to
receive from the College an annual payment of ,£400, which, however,
in years when the income from the Savilian endowment exceeds ,£300,
is to be reduced by the amount of the excess. The effect of these
provisions is that the emoluments of each Professorship will ultimately
be not less than £900 a year.
Satilian Professor of Geometry.
The Professor is elected by a Bond consisting of the Chancellor of
the University, the President of the Eoyal Society, the Warden of New
College, a person nominated on each occasion by the Warden and
Fellows of New College to act as an Elector on that occasion, the
Sadlerian Professor of Pure Mathematics in the University of Cam-
bridge, the Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy, and a person
nominated on each occasion by the Hebdomadal Council to act as an
Elector on that occasion. If the Warden of New College is unable to
act as an Elector, the College may appoint a person to act in his
stead.

Whyte's Proeessoeship of Moral Philosophy.
This Professorship was founded in the year 1621 by Thomas "Whyte,
D.D., Canon of Christ Church, who charged an estate in Essex, which
he then conveyed to the University, with an annual stipend of ,£100
for the Professor and with other payments. He made the Chair tenable
for five years only, or at the most for ten, and appointed the Yice-
Chancellor, the Dean of Christ Church, the Presidents of Magdalen
and St. John's, and the two Proctors, to be the electors.
In 1673 a practice began of electing one of the Proctors, usually the
Senior, to the office ; in course of time the Lectures were entirely
dropped ; and at length the Professorship was so forgotten, that it was
never mentioned in the Oxford Calendar before the year 1831, the
abuse having continued, with one exception only, till February 1829.
The Professorship was established on a new footing by a Statute
which was approved by the Queen in Council in 1858.
It is now regulated by Statutes made by the Commissioners of 1877,
under which the stipend of the Professor will be ultimately raised to
,£900 a-ycar, namely, £100 from the original endowment, and the
residue, including the emoluments of a Fellowship in Corpus Christi
College attached to the Professorship, from the revenues of that
College.

TROFESSORSHIP OF BOTANY. 57
Laudian Pkofessokship of Aeabic1.
Founded in 1636 by William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, and
Chancellor of the University, who endowed it with lands in the parish
of Bray, in Berkshire, which gave but a small stipend. The income has
subsequently been augmented to ,£'300 out of the University Chest.

sity and St. John's College respectively, future Professors will ultimately
receive, in addition to the emoluments arising from Archbishop Laud's

Pkofessoeship of Botany.
In compliance with the Will of Henry Dan vers, Earl of Danby, by
whose munificence during the period 1622-1633 the Botanic Garden
was founded, the impropriate Rectory of Kirkdale in Yorkshire was
conveyed to the University for the purpose, 1. of paying £40 a-year to
a Gardener ; 2. of building a house for the Gardener ; 3. of defraying the
necessary expenses of the Garden ; and then (if possible) establishing
a Professor. This bequest took effect in 1659 ; and in 1669, although
the revenue was very small, the University elected a Professor, assigning
to him a stipend of ,£40 a-year. But that Professor, Dr. Morison, stands
alone ; no immediate successor was elected by Convocation.
In 1728, William Sherard, D.C.L., sometime Fellow of St. John's
College, bequeathed to the University his Library and very valuable
Herbarium, and £3000 for the endowment of a Professorship, vesting
the nomination in the College of Physicians. Dr. Sherard's bequest

took effect in 1734, and, in compliance with a condition in bis Will,
the University then charged its rents and revenues with an annual pay-
ment of £160 for the maintenance of the Garden.
In 1793 King George III granted the .sum of ,£200 yearly, which
was reduced by tecs of office to ,£182, half to augment the stipend of
the Professor, and half towards the maintenance of the Garden; which
sum, since the remission of certain stain}) duties in 1855, has been paid
from the University Chest in the following proportions, £'100 to the
Professor and ,£82 to the Curators of the Garden.
To this foundation Dr. Sibthorp ('who was Professor of Botany
1784 — 96) attached a Professorship oi Rural Economy1, but the two
Professorships are now separated, a Statute made for Magdalen College
by the University Commissioners of 1877 having provided that in the
event of the two Professorships ceasing to be combined, but not other-
wise, a Fellowship in the College should be attached to the Professorship
of Botany, and further that the emoluments of that Professorship should
be augmented from the College revenues to ,£300 a-year.
The Professor of Botany is elected by a Board consisting of the
Visitor and the President of Magdalen College, the Presidents of the
Linnsean Society and of the College of Physicians, a person (at present
Bartholomew Price, M.A., Fellow of Pembroke College) nominated by
the Hebdomadal Council as a permanent Elector, subject to approval
by Convocation, the Linacre Professor of Human and Comparative
Anatomy, and the Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge.
The charge and supervision of the Botanic Garden are committed
to the Professor of Botany, to be exercised by him subject to such
authority as may for the time being be vested in the Curators of the
Garden.

queathed for the endowment an estate which he held by lease from the
Dean and Chapter of Durham. His bequest took effect in 1708. The
fee-simple of the estate was subsequently purchased by the University,
and in 1885 was sold under the provisions of the Universities and
College Estates Act, 1858. The yearly stipend of the Professorship
consists of about <£180 from the proceeds of the estate, and is increased
by <£20 from the Benefaction of Nathaniel, Lord Crewe. Bishop of
Durham. The Professor is elected by the Members of Convocation for

Tup: Lord Almoner's Professorship of Arabic.
The origin of this Professorship cannot be ascertained, for the records
of the Almonry Office anterior to the year 3724 perished in a tire which
took place many years ago in St. James's Palace. 13ut it is probable
that the first appointment was made in the reign of George I, and
that no person held it before the eminent Orientalist John Gagnier,
whose name is now the first on record, and who, in 1717, was appointed
by tin; Yi<<-< hancellor to give public Lectures in Arabic in the absence
of the Landian Professor.
The Professor is appointed by the Lord High Almoner. The yearly
stipend, which at first was only ,£25, was raised to £50 in 1770, but
this sum was considerably reduced by fees of office in the Exchequsr ;
it is now stated to be £50 net.

Regius Professorship of Modern History.
This Professorship was founded by King George I in 1724, with an
annual stipend of £400, reduced by fees of office to £371, to be paid
from the Exchequer. After the remission of certain stamp duties in
1855 the stipend became a charge on the revenues of the University,
and by an ordinance of the University Commissioners of 1855 the
endowment was augmented by the annual sum of £250 from the
revenues of Oriel College.
Regulations concerning tbe duties of the Professor were made by
Letters Patent under the Great Seal in 1859. The original regulations
comprised a scheme for instruction in modern languages, which is now
provided by Sir Robert Taylor's bequest.
Under Statutes made by the Commissioners of 1877 for the Univer-
sity and Oriel College respectively, the stipend of the Professor will
ultimately be £900 a-year, namely, £300 from the University Chest,
and the residue, including the emoluments of a Professor-Fellowship in
Oriel College annexed to the Chair, from the revenues of that College.

PROFESSOESHIP OF EXPERIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY.
This Professorship is due to the bounty of Nathaniel, Lord Crewe,
Bishop of Durham 1674 — 1722, who desired that ,£30 out of the annual
Benefaction of ,£200 which he bequeathed to the University should
be paid to " a Reader of Experimental Philosophy." It began in 1749,
when his bequest was first received ; but Public Lectures on the sub-
ject were previously given. To this small stipend King George IV,
while Prince Eegent, added a grant of ,£100 a-year from the revenues
of the Crown ; which sum, after the remission of certain stamp duties
in 1855, was paid from the University Chest. The University further
augmented the stipend to ,£300 a-year ; and, under an ordinance of the
University Commissioners of 1855, the Professor also received the
annual sum of ,£200 from the revenues of Wadham College. The
Professor was appointed by the Vice-Chancellor alone until the year
1863 ; then by a Board of Electors.
Under Statutes made by the Commissioners of 1877 for the Univer-
sity and "Wadham College respectively, the total emoluments of the
Professorship, exclusive of fees, are ultimately to be not less than £'700
or more than £900 a-year. A non-stipendiary Fellowship in "Wadham
College is also annexed to the Chair.
The Professor is hereafter to be elected by a Board consisting of the
Vice-Chancellor, the Warden of Wadham College, the Sedleian Professor
of Natural Philosophy, the Waynflete Professor of Chemistry, and the
President of the Royal Society. If the Warden of Wadham College is
unable to act as an Elector, the College may appoint a person to act in
his stead.
The Professor has the charge of the Clarendon Laboratory.

YlNEEIAN TEOFESSOESniP OF COMMON LAW.
Charles Viner, Esq., by his Will, dated December 20, 1755, left
aboul £12,000 to the University, to establish a Professorship, and
to endow Bach Fellowships and Scholarships of the Common Law,
as the produce of Ins legacy might be thought capable of supporting.
His bequest took effect in 1758, and the Stipend of the Professorship
was then fixed at ,£200 a-year, and the Professor was to be elected by
Convocation.
Under a Statute approved by the Queen in Council in 1807, the
Professor was to be elected by a Board thereby constituted, and until
there should be a vacancy in the Professorship a Reader was to be
appointed from time to time for three years, to give instruction in Civil
Law as well as English Law. The first Eeader was appointed February
25, 1808, and the Readership was continued until December, 1881.
Under Statutes made by the Commissioners of 1877 for the Univer-
sity and All Souls College respectively, the Professor receives the
annual proceeds of the trust estate of Mr. Yiner's Foundation, after
payment of the statutory emoluments of the Scholars of that Foundation
and also the emoluments appropriated to the Professorship out of the
revenues of All Souls College. These latter are ,£200 a-year as the
emolument of a Fellowship in the College attached to the Professorship,
and, in addition, such a sum as, together with what the Professor
receives from the Vinerian Foundation, shall amount to £700 a-year.
The Professor is elected by a Board consisting of the Chancellor of
the University, the Lord Chief Justice of England, the Regius Pro-
fessor of Civil Law, the Corpus Professor of Jurisprudence, and a
person nominated on each occasion by All Souls College to act as an
Elector on that occasion.

LICHFIELD TRUST FOR CLINICAL INSTRUCTION. 63
Lichfield Trust for Clinical Instruction.
A Professorship was founded for the reading of Clinical Lectures in
the Badclifle Infirmary to the Students in Medicine of the University,
by the bounty of George Henry Lee, third Earl of Lichfield of that
name, Chancellor of the University; who bequeathed for its endow-
ment some property in London, which in 1780, when his bequest took
effect, produced a capital sum exceeding <£7000 in £3 per cent. Con-
solidated Annuities. This Fund is invested in the namus of the Chan-
cellor of the University, the Bishop of Oxford, and the President of St.
John's College as ex officio Trustees. The Professor was chosen by Convo-
cation, and was to be a Doctor of Medicine of five years' standing.
A Statute made for the University by the Commissioners of 1877
directed that the income of the Trust Fund should be applied in or
towards providing Clinical instruction in Oxford for Members of
the University, such instruction to be given by a Clinical Professor,
or by one or more Clinical Lecturer or Lecturers, and empowered the
University to make Statutes regulating the office of any such Professor
or Lecturer.
In exercise of this authority the University in 1883 enacted that the
annual income of the endowment should be applied in and towards
providing Clinical instruction in Medicine and Surgery for Members
of the University at the Eadcliffe Infirmary, subject to the approval by
the Hebdomadal Council of the rules made from time to time by the
Governors of the Infirmary for the admission of Students. If and so
long as the Hebdomadal Council is allowed to nominate four of its
members to be associated with the Electoral Board appointed by the
Governors for the appointment of Physicians and Surgeons of the
Infirmary, one of the Physicians is to be appointed Lichfield Clinical
Lecturer in Medicine, and one of the Surgeons Lichfield Clinical
Lecturer in Surgery, each receiving an equal moiety of the annual
income of the endowment. Each is to be appointed for a term of
two years, but is to be capable of re-appointment. The appointment is
to be made by the Hebdomadal Council after consultation with the
Medical Staff of the Infirmary.
The provisions of the University Statute are to remain in force only
until the end of the next Term after any vacancy may occur in the
Regius Professorship of Medicine.

PiAWLINSONIAN PROFESSORSHIP OF ANGLO-SAXON.
Founded by Richard Rawlinson, P.C.L., of St. John's College, who
endowed it with sonic annual or fee-farm rents, payable out of certain
lands in Lancashire. He directed that the Professorship should he
tenable for five years only, that the several Colleges in the University
should enjoy it one after another, but that St. John's College should
have every fifth turn. The endowment took effect in 1795, forty years
after his death, according to his desire.
By a Statute, sanctioned by the Queen in Council in 1858, the Pro-
fessorship was made tenable for life, any Member of Convocation be-
came eligible, and the range of the Professor's lectures was no longer
confined to the language of the Anglo-Saxons, but was made to take
in also the history of that people, the old Low-German dialects, and
the antiquities of Northern Europe. The election was vested in the
Congregation of the University, and the stipend was augmented to <£300
a-year from the University Chest.
Under a Statute made by the Commissioners of 1877 the Professor's
stipend remains as before ; the Professor is hereafter to be elected by a
Board consisting of the Vice-Chan eel lor, the Merton Professor of
English Language and Literature, the Corpus Christi Professor of
Comparative Philology, the Principal Librarian of the British Mu-
seum, and a person appointed on tach occasion by the Hebdomadal
Council to act as an Elector on that occasion.
The University may at any time by Statute determine that this
Professorship shall be united with the Merton Professorship of English
Language and Literature (see post, page 79), or shall be capable of
being held with it.

The late Joseph Boden, Esq., Colonel in the East India Company's
service, bequeathed the whole of his property to the University, for
the purpose of promoting the study of Sanskrit literature, " being of

" language will be a means of enabling his Countrymen to proceed in
"the conversion of the Natives of India to the Christian Religion, by
"disseminating a knowledge of the Sacred Scriptures amongst them,
"more effectually than all other means whatsoever." Regulations for
carrying his purpose into effect by establishing a Professorship and
Scholarships were made by Decrees of the Court of Chancery in 1830
and I860.

WYKEHAM PkOFESSOESHIF OF LOGIC.
Anciently it was the duty of every Regent M.A. to give instruction
in the Arts in which he had graduated ; afterwards the University
provided that in four of them, for which no Chair had been endowed,
namely, Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, and Metaphysics, Lectures should
be regularly given by Readers appointed for the purpose, who received
stipends from a small tax levied upon the Inceptors of each year and
upon the Students who Mere bound to attend the Lectures. After the
introduction of the Procuratorial Cycle in 1629, these Readers were
chosen according to that Cycle, and held office for two years. At
length these Lectures, like the Lectures on Moral Philosophy, fell
into disuse, and even the form of electing Eeaders was dropped,
although the tax for their maintenance was still collected. This con-
tinued till the year 1831), when a Statute was passed, which, omitting
the subjects of Grammar, Rhetoric, and Metaphysics, directed that
there should be a regular Praslector of Logic, elected by Convocation
for a period of ten years, but capable of re-election, who should receive
as his stipend the produce of a small tax levied upon all Members of
the University below the degree of Master of Arts. P>y subsequent
Statutes the stipend was raised to ,£"400 a-year, and the Professorship
made tenable for life.
Under Statutes made by the Commissioners of 1877 for the Uni-
versity and New College respectively, the Professorship is henceforth
to be styled the Wykeham Professorship of Logic ; a Professor-Fellow-
ship in New College is attached to the Chair ; and the stipend is fixed

Hope Professorship of Zoology.
Founded in 1861 by the Rev. Frederick William Hope, M.A. and
Hon. D.C.L., formerly of Ch. Ch., to whose munificence the University
is also indebted for a large Entomological Collection, a library of
CORPUS CHRISTI PROFESSORSHIP OF PHILOLOGY. 75
Natural History, and a vast Collection of Engraved Portraits, and en-
dowed l>y him with a capital sum of £10,000 New £3 per cent.
Annuities. Mr. Hope died in the early part of 1862 ; and shortly
afterwards his widow, in fulfilment of his intentions, transferred to the
University a second sum of £10,000 in the same stock, and assigned
one-third of the dividends to the Professor in augmentation of his
stipend. Mrs. Hope assigned another third part of the dividends as a
stipend for the Keeper of the Hope Collection of Engravings men-
tioned at the end of the article on the Bodleian Library, and directed
the remainder to be applied in equal portions to keeping up and in-
creasing the two Hope Collections. In December, 18G4, Mrs. Hope
gave a further sum of £1666 13s. 4d. in the same Stock, to augment
the stipend of the Keeper of the Engravings, for the purpose of en-
abling him to employ an assistant and to meet expenses incidental to
his duties. Owing to a change of investment the annual income of
the combined endowments now amounts to about £800, of which the
Professor's share is eight-thirteenths, the Keeper's three-thirteenths,
and the residue is paid to the Curators of the Hope Collections.
The Founder himself nominated the first Professor ; but the elec-
tion is now vested in the Curators of the Hope Collections and the
Linacre Professor. At the time of his admission he must be at least a
Master of Arts or a Bachelor of Civil Law or Medicine. He is required
to superintend and arrange the Hope Collection of Annulose Animals,
and to take charge of the Natural History portion of the Hope Library.
The Hope Curators are the Vice-Chancellor, the two Proctors, the
Eegius Professor of Medicine, the Keeper of the Ashmolean Mu-
seum, and the Hope Professor by virtue of their respective offices, with
two non-official Curators, nominated as occasion may require by the
Curators for the time being, subject to the approval of Convocation.
The present non-official Curators are Sir Henry W. Acland, K.C.B.,
P.M., late Fellow of All Souls, Edward Chapman, M.A., Fellow of
Magdalen, and Henry N. Moseley, M.A., Fellow of Merton, Linacre
Professor of Human and Comparative Anatomy.

INSTITUTIONS.
Bodleian Libkary.
In the year 1480 the room over the Divinity School, -which is now
the central limb of the public portion of the Bodleian Library, and
which was then just finished, became the repository of the books which
the University had acquired by gift from various benefactors, especially
from Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, who also contributed liberal] y
to the building. But before the end of the reign of Edward VI,
partly through careless management, and partly through extravagant
zeal, it had been so entirely rifled of its contents that not one volume
remained ; and in 1556 the University, hopeless of its restoration, sold
the benches and fittings, and left the walls bare. In this state it re-
mained above forty years, till in 1598 Thomas Bodley, Esq., sometime
Fellow of Merton College, resolved to restore the room to the pur-
pose for which it wTas built, and to secure it by an endowment in land ;
and he not only contributed largely in money and books himself, but
procured also similar contributions from so many of his friends and
other persons, that in November, 1602, the Library was again opened
for use with upwards of 2000 volumes.
Books were given during the next few years beyond what the room
could hold, and in 1610 the Founder, who had now been knighted by
King James I, proceeded to build an addition to it towards the East
with a Proscholium to the Divinity School below, but he died in
January, 1613, before this enlargement was quite finished. By his
will he made provision for adding a third floor round the intended
Quadrangle of the Schools, which at first was to have had two floors
only, and for connecting this (now the Picture Gallery) with his Library,
and showed that he contemplated that other extension towards the West,
the want of which was felt in less than twenty years after his death, and
which, with the Convocation House below, was begun in 1634 and
finished in about four years.
The collection has been continually increasing, by donations, some
of which have been of great extent and value, by the right to a copy of
every work published in this country, a right to which Sir Thomas
Bodley himself gave the origin in a grant which he obtained in 1610
from the Stationers' Company, and by purchases made with moneys
arising partly from the estates given by the Founder, partly from other
benefactions, and partly from the general fund of the University ; so that
now the Library comprises more than 400,000 volumes', and occupies
86 INSTITUTIONS.
every ro m in the Qnadrangle of the building, except those appropriated
bo the University Archives.
The Library is under the control of a Board of Curators, consisting
of the Vice-Chancellor, the two Proctors, the five Regius Professors of
Divinity, Civil Law, Medicine, Hebrew, and Greek, and five members
of the Congregation of the University elected for ten years by that
House.
The administration of the Library is committed to the care of a
Librarian, elected by the Curators and approved by Convocation, with
an annual stipend of ,£1000. He is assisted by two Under-Librarians,
whom he nominates himself, subject to the approval of the Curators
and of Convocation, and who receive a yearly stipend of not less than
,£300 or more than <£400 each. There are also Assistants, whom the
Librarian appoints, .subject to the approval of the Curators.
The Library proper is open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. from April to
July, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. in February, March, August, Septem-
I irr, and October, and between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in November, December,
and January. But it is closed entirely on Sundays, on January 1 and
6, Good Friday to the end of Easter Week, Ascension Day, Whit
Monday and Tuesday, Commemoration Day, October 1-7, November
7-8 (6-7 when the 8th is a Sunday), and from Christmas Eve to the
end of the year. And when there is a Sermon before the University,
it is not open before 11 a.m.
All Graduate members of the University have the right to use the
Library. Other persons are admitted to study in it on presenting a
satisfactory recommendation.
The Picture Gallery, which has been already mentioned as appur-
tenant to the Library, contains portraits of many eminent persons, who
have been Benefactors or Members of the University, models of many
edifices both ancient and modern, and many other objects of interest.
Each portrait has its name attached.
The building formerly known as "the Eadcliffe Library" is now
used as a Beading Boom in connexion with the Bodleian Library,
under the name of " Camera Bodleiana," and is open from 10 a.m.
till 10 p.m. on all days except Sundays, the four days next before
Easter, the three days ending on the last Saturday in September, and
on Christmas Day and three adjoining week-days. It contains on its
own shelves and tables a selection of the newest works, and is available
for the use of other books, whether printed or manuscript.

Clarendon Press.
Although the first book printed in Oxford bears the date 1468, it
was not till January 1586 that Delegates "de impressione librorum"
were first appointed by Convocation. About that time Joseph Barnes,
having set up a press in Oxford, under the patronage of the Chan-
cellor, the Earl of Leicester, and with the help of a loan of ,£100 from
the University Chest, is styled " Printer to the University" on the title-
pages of his books. Others after him were likewise so styled, but
nothing seems to have been done for establishing a University Press
on a firm footing, until Archbishop Laud, in 1633, procured letters
patent from King Charles I, granting a very large licence of printing to
the University, his chief object being the publication of MSS. from
the Bodleian Library, to which he himself gave more than thirteen
hundred.
The work was carried on at first in hired premises ; then from 1669
in the Sheldonian Theatre, the Founder of that building having ap-
pointed it for this use as well as for great assemblies of the University,
and having directed that the surplus of the fund which he gave for
the maintenance of the fabric should be "employed for the best advantage
and encouragement of the Learned Press there designed and already set
at work1 ; " next from 1713 in the Clarendon Building, erected expressly
for this purpose, and so called in memory of Lord Clarendon, sometime
Chancellor of the University, and author of the History of the Great
Bebellion. Finally, in 1830, when the Press had quite outgrown its
earlier limits, it was removed to its present buildings, which were begun
in 1825 from a design made by Mr. Daniel Robertson, and were finished
under the superintendence of Mr. Blore.
The management of the Printing Office is committed to a Delegacy
consisting of the Yiee-Chancellor and ten other members of Convoca-
tion, who are nominated, as vacancies occur, by the Vice-Chancellor
and Proctors. Five of the ten are Perpetual Delegates: each new
nomination is made for the term of seven years.
The South side of the Press is appropriated, as was the East side of
the Clarendon Building, to the printing of Bibles and Prayer-books,
and the North, or " Learned" side, to that of classical or scientific
works, University documents, &c.

queathed 60002. to the University, and directed " the interest thereof to be applied for
the benefit of printing and encouragement of learning."

Theatre.
The Theatre was erected by Gilbert Sheldon, Archbishop of Canter-
bury and Chancellor of the University, to provide a room for large and
nblies of the University, and a place for tin.- operations of
tin' University Press, which were carried on in it until their removal
to the Clarendon edifice in 1713. The Architect was Sir Christopher
Wren. The first stone was laid July 26, 1664, and the building was
opened with ;i solemn ceremony on July 9, 1669. The cost, it is said,
was £15,000 ; and the munificent Founder gave ,£2000 more fur the
purchase of land, the rent of which might maintain the fabric in repair
and give a surplus for the advantage " of the Learned Press." John
Wills, D.D., Warden of Wadham College, who died in 1806, left
£1000 to keep it in repair. The care of the Theatre and of its funds
is committed to the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors and three mem-
bers of Convocation nominated by them (subject to the approval of
Convocation), holding office for six years.
ASHMOLEAN MUSEUM.
The building known by this name was erected at the charge of the
University, partly for the reception of the collection of natural and
artificial curiosities which Elias Ashmole, Esq., gave on that condi-
tion, and to which additions have since been made by many donors,
and partly for the promotion of the study of Chemistry and all Natural
Science. Over the north door (now closed) is an inscription, now
almost illegible, Museum Ashmoleanum, Scholia Naturalis Historian,
Ojficina Chymica. It was begun in 1679, and finished in 1683, and was
built by Mr. "Wood, a "stonecutter " or mason, of Oxford1. Dr. Plot,
the first Keeper, was immediately appointed Professor of Chemistry by
the Vice-Chancellor.
The Keeper of the Museum used to be nominated by the Visitors
appointed by Ashmole's will, namely, the Vice-Chancellor, the Dean of
Christ Church, the Principal of Brasenose, the Eegius Professor of
Medicine, and the two Proctors ; and Dr. Eawlinson endowed the office
with a stipend of about <£75 a-year on certain stringent conditions.
These original regulations were superseded by others made in 1858 :
and these again were abrogated by a Statute which received the
sanction of the Queen in Council, 1870. By this Statute the Vice-
Chancellor, the Camden Professor of Ancient History, the Eegius
Professor of Modern History, and two other Members of Convocation to
be elected for five years by the Congregation of the University, were •
constituted Visitors of the Museum. By the same Statute Mr. John

was the architect.

Henry Parker, Hon. M.A., who had made a munificent benefaction in
augmentation of the Keeper's salary, was nominated to succeed to
the Keepership on the first vacancy : afterwards the Keeper was to be
nominated by the Visitors, subject to the approval of Convocation.
By a Statute made in 1884 the Keeper is required to give not less
than six lectures in the course of the year, on subjects to be approved
by the Visitors.
The second object for which the building was provided is now at-
tained by the University Museum, and the zoological part of the
collection has been removed to that Institution. The MSS. of Anthony
^Wood and others, which were deposited here, have been transferred to
the Bodleian Library. The first floor is now a Museum of Antiquities ;
the upper floor, which for many years was used as an examination
room, was on the removal of the examinations to the new Schools in
1882 placed by decree of Convocation at the disposal of the Visitors
of the Museum. The Museum is open daily from 2 till 4.

CL ABEND ON BUILDING.
It has been stated already that the Clarendon Building was erected
for a Printing House, and was so used from 1713 until the removal of
the University Press to the present Office in 1830. It was begun
February 22, 1712. The architect and builder was Mr. Nicholas
Hawksmoor ', who built also the south quadrangle of Queen's College
and the north quadrangle of All Souls College. The name of the
building is derived from the Lord Chancellor Clarendon, and the cost
of it was defrayed partly from the profits of the sale of his History of
the Rebellion, the copyright of which was given to the University.
It is now used for various public purposes of the University, con-
taining the " Delegates' Boom," in which the meetings of Delegacies
usually take place, the Begistrar's Office, the offices of the Curators of
the University Chest, of the Delegates of Local Examinations, of

Radcliffe Libeaey.
The munificent founder of this Library was the celebrated physician
John Badcliffe, M.I>., first of University College, afterwards Fellow of
Lincoln, who died in 1714. He bequeathed the hulk of his large pro-
perty to Trust es to be applied at their discretion to charitable purposes ;
but he directed them in the first instance to accumulate ,£40,000, and
to lay out that sum on the purchase of the site for his Library and on
the building, and he appropriated ,£100 a-year for the maintenance of
the fabric, ,£100 a-year for the purchase of books, aud ,£150 a-year as a
stipend for the Librarian. James Gibbs, Esq., a native of Aberdeen,
was the architect. The foundation-stone was laid June 16, 1737, and
the building was completed in 1747. The Library was opened April
13, 1749, in a public ceremony, by the Trustees.
Many years ago the Trustees resolved to confine their purchases to
works on Medicine and Natural History; and upon the completion of
the University Museum they permitted the books concerning Natural
Science to be removed to the Library of that Institution, which may
now be regarded as " Badcliffe's Library," and they allowed the remain-
ing volumes and the building itself to be used in connection with the
Bodleian Library. It has been opened as a Eeading Room. (See ante,
p. 123.)
The present Trustees are, the Marquis of Salisbury, K.G., the Earl
of Carnarvon, the Earl of Selborne, the Earl of Jersey, Lord Hals-
bury, and the Eight Hons. W. E. Gladstone and Arthur W. Peel.
Badcliffe's Librarian, who must be at least a Master of Arts, is elected
by the following personages : the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord
High Chancellor of Great Britain, the Chancellor of the University,
the Bishops of London and Winchester, the two principal Secretaries
of State, the Lord Chief Justice of England, and the Master of the Eolls.

Trustees : he appoints his own Assistants.
Astronomical Observations are made daily when the weather per-

to be deposited in the Library of the Royal Society in London, in
the Radcliffe Library, and in the Observatory itself; but from the
year 1840 they have been printed, by order of the Trustees, under the
superintendence of the Observer, in a handsome octavo volume, which
is continued annually.

Taylor Institution.
Sir Robert Taylor, an Architect of eminence in the last century,
bequeathed the residue of his property, a very considerable sum, to
" the Chancellor and Scholars of the University of Oxford and their
" successors, for the purpose of applying the interest and produce thereof
" in purchase of freehold land within, or if possible to be made within,
"the jurisdiction of the said University, for the erecting a proper
" edifice therein, and for establishing a foundation, for the teaching
" and improving the European languages in such manner as should
" from time to time be approved by the said Chancellor and Scholars
" in Convocation assembled." He died in 1788, but his bequest, being
subject to certain contingencies, did not take effect till 1835, and it
was not until 1848 that the "proper edifice" which was to be erected
could be made fully ready for use. This building, of which C. R.
Cockerell, Esq., D.C.L., was the architect, comprises a spacious Library,
several Lecture Rooms, and apartments for the residence of a Librarian.
The Institution is under the direction of nine Curators, of whom the
Vice-Chancellor, the Regius Professor of Modern History, and the
Professor of Comparative Philology, are ex officio three ; of the other
six, who must all be Members of Convocation, four are appointed for a
period of five years, and two for ten, after which they may be nominated
again.
There are four Teacherships of Modern European Languages, a
Scholarship, and an Exhibition, which are described in separate articles.
The Curators are also charged with the application of the proceeds of
a fund arising from the bequest of William Thomas Horner, Earl of
'.'2 INSTITUTIONS.
Dchester, for tlic encouragement of the study of the Polish and other
Slavonic Languages, Literature, and History. By a Statute passed in
1876, they arc authorised to apply the interest of the fund to one or
more of the following purposes, at their discretion and in such manner
and at such times as they may judge most expedient: (1) The delivery
Lectures on subjects connected with the Slavonic Languages or
Literature, 01 the History of the Slavonic Nations: (2) The bestowal
of Prizes or Exhibitions for encouraging the study of those subjects:
(31 The publishing, or assisting in the publication of, works in one or
outer of tlmsc subjects.
The Curators are also charged with the custody of a collection of
books and works of art bequeathed to the University in 1834 by the
Eev. Robert Finch, M.A., of Balliol College, and with the administra-
tion of a fund of ,£'1300 left by him for the maintenance and extensiun
of the collection.
The Library is open between the hours of eleven and five, except
during one month from Aug. 16 to Sept. 14 ; and from Christmas-Eve
to Jan. 2, when it is closed entirely. All Members of the University
have free admission to it, and resident Members are allowed to take
books out of the Library, subject to its regulations. Literary persons
not members of the University are also admissible by special permission.
The leading Newspapers and Periodicals of France, Germany, and Italy,
are taken in and lie upon the table. The Librarian is appointed by
the Curators, with a statutable stipend not exceeding ,£200 a-year. The
present Librarian is Heixeich Keebs, Ph. D. of the University of
Freiburg in Baden, Hon. M.A.
Uniyeesity Galleeies.
The University Galleries form the Central and "Western portions of
the building of which the Taylor Institution is the Eastern, and were
designed by the same Architect. Francis Eandolph, D.D., Principal
of St. Alban Hall, who died in 1796, bequeathed i?1000 towards the
erection of a suitable building for the reception of the Pomfret Statues
and other works of art ; and that sum together with accumulated in-
terest was laid out upon the building, the remainder of the cost being
defrayed from moneys belonging to the University. The Galleries were
opened in 1845. They contain specimens of ancient and modern
Sculpture, including the original models for the principal w^orks of
the eminent English artist, Sir Francis Chantrey, presented by his
widow : a large number of original drawings of M. Angelo and Eaffaele,
purchased by a subscription, towards which the second Earl of Eldon
contributed the munificent sum of ,£'4000 ; and there is one large and
lofty Gallery for Paintings. Many works of art of various kinds have
been given to the University since the Galleries were erected, and the
Arundel Marbles were removed thither from the Bodleian Library and
the Ashmolean Museum in 1888.
A studio for the use of the Slade Professor of Fine Art, with other
rooms, was added in 1886-7.
The Galleries are under the superintendence of seven Curators,

namely, Bodley's Librarian, so long as any works of art belonging to
the Library remain in the Galleries, and six members of Convocation
elected, two by the Hebdomadal Council, two by the Congregation of
the University, and two by the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors, each
holding office for six years and re-eligible. The Galleries are in the
charge of a resident Keeper, appointed by the Curators, with a stipend
of ,£100 a-year, and are open without fee from 12 to 4 daily, except
during a few weeks in the Long Vacation for cleaning. One room has
been assigned for the use of the Oxford School of Art in connexion
with the South Kensington Department of Science and Art.
University Museum.
This edifice, intended for the promotion of the study of Natural
Science, was erected at the charge of the University, from the de-
signs and under the directions of Messrs. Deane and Woodward of
Dublin. The first stone was solemnly laid June 20, 1855, by the Earl
of Derby, Chancellor of the University, and the building was so nearly
finished when the British Association for the Advancement of Science
met in Oxford at the end of June, 1860, that every part of it was then
used. The iron-work was supplied by Mr. Skidmore of Coventry.
The decorative Sculpture both without and within is due to the liber-
ality of individual donors : in particular Her Majesty the Queen has
been pleased to present five of the statues of eminent philosophers
which adorn the Area ; and Woolner's statue of the late Prince Consort,
which faces the entrance, was placed here by gentlemen of the City of
Oxford, who subscribed to have it erected as a memorial of the Prince.
The Museum contains Lecture-rooms, with Work-rooms and
Laboratories where these are required, for the Eegius Professor of
Medicine, and the Professors of Geometry, Natural Philosophy,
Chemistry, Mineralogy, Geology, Anatomy, Physiology, and Zoology ;
a Dissecting-room at the North-eastern angle, and along the front
upstairs a spacious Library and Eeading Room. The Chemical De-
partment, at the south-western angle of the building, was greatly
enlarged by the addition in 1878-9 of a new block of buildings,
including, besides several smaller laboratories for the use of more ad-
vanced workers, one large laboratory fitted for the accommodation of
6ixty-four students of qualitative and quantitative analysis. A build-
ing containing laboratories and a lecture-room for the use of the
Waynflete Professor of Physiology was erected in the north-eastern
portion of the grounds in 1884-5. Some temporary iron buildings
for the use of the Lin acre Professor of Human and Comparative
Anatomy and the Lecturer in Human Anatomy were added in 1886.
Various Collections illustrative of subjects studied in the Museum have
been brought together within its walls, and a large part of them is open
to the view of Students in the Area and Corridors ; a Pathological
Series in the Medical department : Models and Instruments for Experi-
mental Physics ; Minerals, including some of singular rarity given by
the late Richard Simmonds, M.D., of Christ Church ; Fossils, com-

prising the large collection given by the late Professor Buckland, and
Mr. Pengelly's Devonian Series presented in 1860 by Miss Burdett-
Coutts; the Physiological Series moved from the Anatomy School at
Christ Church by permission of the Dean and Chapter, who, however,
under the Will of the Founder, Mathew Lee, M.D.,
physician to King George II, reserve the right to recall the loan;
logical specimens transferred from the Ashmolean Museum ; a large
collection of Shells presented by Lady and Miss Harvey; two large
collections of British Shells, one given by Sir Walter C. Trevelyan,
Bart., M.A., of University College, the other bequeathed by George
Barlee, Esq., of Exmouth, who died in 1861 ; and a large collection of
Invertebrate Animals given by the Kev. F. W. Hope, the Founder of
the Professorship of Zoology. And, to make these Collections more
useful to Students, the Trustees under Dr. BadclifFe's Will have
allowed the large scientific portion of his Library to be brought here,
and maintain it themselves in the Museum under the charge of Bad-
cliflfe's Librarian, reserving however the right to reclaim it if they
think fit.
By the liberality of the Clarendon Trustees an additional building
was added to the Museum in 1872, containing the lecture-rooms and
laboratories of the department of Experimental Philosophy. This
building contains a large lecture-theatre, a large room for the
Physical Cabinet, laboratories for each of the branches of weighing
and measuring heat, light, electricity, magnetism, and acoustics,
together with smaller rooms for the preparation of special experi-
ments. It is placed under the care of the Professor of Experimental
Philosophy. A residence for a care-taker was added by the University
in 1888.
In 1885-6 an annex was added at the north-east end of the Museum
to contain the extensive and valuable anthropological collection pre-
sented to the University by Major-General Pitt-Kivers, D.C.L.
The Museum is under the superintendence of a Delegacy con-
sisting of the Vice-Chancellor, the two Proctors, and six other persons
chosen by the Congregation of the University. None of the Professors
who teach in the Museum can be Delegates, but all of them are sum-
moned to the meetings of the Delegacy and consulted on the questions
that arise. It is in the charge of a Keeper, who is appointed by the
Delegates subject to the approval of Convocation, and who has an official
residence adjoining on the South-east, and receives a stipend of
^£80 a-year.
The Museum is open to Members of the University from 10 a.m.
till 4 p.m. Visitors are admitted, without fee, after 2 p.m. The
Library is open from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. daily, and on Mondays and

University Observatory.
In March, 1873, the University resolved to have a large Eefracting
Telescope of the highest order of completeness and excellence con-
structed for the purpose of providing more ample instruction for Uni-
versity students in practical astronomy, and for original research. In
the autumn of the same year, the University also accepted from Warren
De La Eue, Hon. D.C.L. (afterwards M.A., New College), a large Re-
flecting TYlescope, together with other astronomical apparatus, specially
adapted for celestial photography, and other branches of astronomical
physics. The Observatory now contains these instruments, together
with others of smaller dimensions. The large lecture-room on the north
side of the Observatory was added in 1877-8.
The Savilian Professor of Astronomy has charge of the Observatory,
subject to the superintendence of a Board of Visitors, which consists of
the Vice-Chancellor, the Proctors, the Astronomer Eoyal, the Director
of the Cambridge University Observatory, the Eadcliffe Observer,
together with four other persons elected by the Congregation of the
University for ten years. Mr. W. E. Plummer and Mr. C. A. Jenkins,
both formerly of the Eoyal Observatory, Greenwich, are Assistant
Observers.
The New Schools.
The building in the High Street commonly called by this name
was erected in 1876-1882, from the designs of the architect, Thomas
Graham Jackson, M.A., sometime Fellow, and afterwards Honorary
Fellow, of Wadham, at a cost exceeding ^£100,000. The builder was
Mr. Albert Estcourt, of Gloucester ; most of the carving in wood and
stone was executed by Messrs. Farmer and Brindley, of London. The
building was first used for the public University Examinations in Easter
Term, 1882.
In addition to the lofty and spacious entrance-hall, forming the
principal feature of the front towards High Street, the building contains
two large writing-rooms, each capable of accommodating two hundred
candidates, and a third affording space for one hundred and twenty
candidates ; eleven smaller rooms suitable for viva voce examinations ;
private rooms for the use of Examiners ; offices for the Clerk of the
Schools ; lavatories and store-rooms ; a porter's residence ; and an ex-
tensive range of rooms in the basement.
All the University Examinations, except those involving laboratory
practice, are held here, and the building is also available at times for
Professors' lectures.
The block of buildings of which the Examination Schools form the
principal part was completed in 1888 by the addition at the north-
east corner of a building containing offices for the Delegacy of Non-
Collegiate Students and rooms for the use of the Students themselves,
and offices for the Delegacy of the Oxford and Cambridge Schools
Examination.
Mr. T. G. Jackson was the architect, and Messrs Parnell and Son of
Eugby were the builders, of this building.

UNIVERSITY SERMONS AND PREACHERS.
Sermons are preached before the University, two on each Sunday,
in full Term ; one on Christmas Day, Good Friday, Ascension Day,
Lady Day, and the Festivals of St. Mark, of St. John Baptist, of
St. Philip and St. James. There is also a Sermon at the several
Assizes, and one in Latin, with the Litany and Holy Communion, at
the beginning of Michaelmas, Hilary, and Easter Terms.
With certain exceptions specified below, the order of preaching is as
follows.
1. The morning Sermons on Sundays in Term fall to the Dean and
Canons of Christ Church, the Heads of Colleges, the five Divinity Pro-
fessors, and the Professor of Hebrew, in the following order, which
however the preachers are at liberty to vary by exchanging turns
among themselves : —
Christ Church Trinity University
Magdalen Christ Church Exeter
New College Brasenose Christ Church
Christ Church Oriel Balliol
All Souls Regius Prof. Div. Jesus
Merton Margaret Prof. Div. Christ Church
Christ Church Regius Prof. Hebrew Pembroke

St. John's Christ Church Prof. Exeg. Script.
2. The other Sermons fall to Graduates in the order in which they
were admitted to Regency as Masters of Arts or to the degree of Bachelor

To these two rales the exceptions are as follow : —
1. The morning Sermons on Sundays in Lent belong to the second
order above stated, not to the first ; the Bampton Lecture Sermons,
mentioned belowr, are delivered in the morning ; the preachers on the
mornings of Quinquagesima Sunday and the last Sunday after Trinity
(on each of which days by a special benefaction a Sermon is preached
from one of a limited number of texts upon Humility or upon Pride),
of Whitsun Day, and of the Sunday before the Encaenia, are appointed
by the Vice-Chancellor ; the morning Sermon on Trinity Sunday is
preached by a preacher appointed by New College ; and, if any of the
festivals mentioned in the next sentence or an Assize Sermon fall on
a Sunday, the exception in that case applies to the morning Sermon.
2. The Vice-Chancellor appoints the preacher for the afternoon of
every Sunday in Lent1 in full Term, of Whitsun Day, of Trinity Sun-
day (when by a special benefaction a Sermon is preached " upon Church
Extension over the Colonies and Dependencies of the British Empire "),
1 On one of the afternoons in Lent a Sermon, for which there is a special benefaction,
is preached upon the Jewish Interpretation of Prophecy.

and of flu' Sunday before the Enoaenia, and for the Assizes: the Ser-
mons on Christinas Pay, Good Friday, and Ascension Day fall to the

preacher nominated by New College, the Sermons on the festivals of
St. Mark and of St John Baptist by Fellows of Magdalen, and the

those of the Dean of Christ Church, and of preachers of New College,
Magdalen, and Merton, mentioned above, which are, or maybe, delivered
in the Cathedral and in the Chapels of those Colleges respectively.

Bampton Lectures.
In pursuance of the Will of the Eev. John Bampton, M.A., some-
time of Trinity College, Canon of Salisbury, " Eight Divinity Lecture
" Sermons " are preached on as many Sunday mornings in Term, " be-
" tween the commencement of the last month in Lent Term and the
" end of the third week in Act Term, upon either of the following
" subjects : to confirm and establish the Christian Faith, and to confute
" all heretics and schismatics — upon the divine authority of the Holy
" Scriptures — upon the authority of the writings of the primitive Fathers,
BAMPTON LECTURES.
107
" as to the Faith and Practice of the primitive Church — upon the Di-
vinity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ — upon the Divinity of
"the Holy Ghost — upon the Articles of the Christian Faith, as com-
" prehended in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds."
The Lecturer, who must he at least a Master of Arts of Oxford or
Cambridge, is chosen yearly by the Heads of Colleges on the fourth
Tuesday in Easter Term. No one can be chosen a second time.
Thirty copies of the Sermons are to be always printed within two
months after they are preached, and one copy is to be given to the
Chancellor of the University, one to the Head of every College, and
one to the Mayor of Oxford, and one is to be put into the Bodleian
Library ; and the Preacher is not entitled to the revenue of the endow-
ment before they are printed.
The Founder died in 1751, but his bequest did not take effect until
1779, in which year the first Lecturer was chosen. The estate provided
for the endowment now produces ,£200 to each Lecturer.

UNIVEESITY SCHOLARSHIPS.
Ceaven Scholarships and Fellowships.
John, Lord Craven of Eyton, by his Will dated May 28, 1647, directed
that "out of the yearly rents and profits" of an estate purchased by
him in Sussex ,£100 per annum should " be raised towards the main-
tenance of four poor Scholars," two at Oxford, and two at Cambridge,
and that the surplus revenue of the estate should " be employed and
bestowed for and towards the redemption of English Christian cap-
tives, prisoners in Algiers or in any other places under the dominion
of the Turk." He died a few months afterwards, his Executor declined
to act, and in December, 1648, his elder brother William, Lord Craven
of Hampsted-Marshall, (afterwards created Earl of Craven,) having
been appointed Administrator, drew up certain regulations for the
election of the Scholars, which were approved by Convocation in Octo-
ber, 1649. Those regulations, agreeably to the Founder's desire, allowed
a preference in all cases to persons of his " kindred or name," but
otherwise the Scholarships were to be awarded after an examination in
classical learning, in which no Graduate could be a Candidate, nor any
Fellow or Scholar of a College. Each Scholarship was tenable for
fourteen years from matriculation, or until the Scholar attained to some
" preferment of a double value." The electors were the Vice-Chancellor,
the Begins Professors, and the Public Orator.
In 1664, William, Lord Craven, with the consent of both Universities,
transferred the estate, subject to the trusts created by his brother's will,
to a body of Trustees, whose successors now hold it.
In March, 1819, it was determined by the Court of Chancery that
the second part of the trust had come to an end from want of objects,
and a Decree was made increasing the number of Scholars from four
to ten, five for each University, and assigning to each Scholar an
annual stipend of ,£50 for seven years from his election. Subsequently,
the rents of the estate having improved, the stipends were increased
to ,£'75. And by a Decree of the Court of Chancery, together with a
Statute of the University approved by the Queen in Council in 1858,
the Foundation for Oxford, and the regulations concerning it, the
Scholarships were made six in number, tenable for three years, with
stipends of ,£80 a-year each, two Scholars being elected every year in
Act Term.
Under a scheme sanctioned by the High Court of Justice in 1886
there are now two Fellowships and six Scholarships.
The Fellowships are tenable for two years, with an annual stipend
of ,£200 each. Candidates must have passed the Examinations
required for the degree of B.A., and not have exceeded twenty-eight
110 UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS.
Terms from matriculation. One Fellow is elected annually in
Michaelmas Term by a committee of five persons appointed for the
purpose K the Board of the faculty of Arts (Literoe Humaniores).
The Committee may eled cither without examination, or after such
examination iu Greek and Latin literature, history, and antiquities, or
in some parts of these subjects, as they shall think fit. Every Fellow
is required bo spend at least eight months of each year of his tenure
of the Fellowship iu residence abroad for the purpose of study at some
place in- places approved by the electing Committee.
The Scholarships are tenable for two years, with an annual
stipend of ,£'40 each. Candidates must lie members of the University
who have not exceeded sixteen Terms from matriculation. Three
Scholars are elected annually in Michaelmas Term after an exami-
nation conducted by three persons nominated by the Committee above-
mentioned. The examination is the same as that for the Ireland
Scholarship, and the person elected to that Scholarship, if he has not
already gained a Craven Scholarship, is elected at the same time
to the first Craven Scholarship. No person can be elected a second
time to a Craven Scholarship.

Eadcliffe's Travelling Fellowships.
Dr. Kadcliffe, the Founder of the Library which bears his name,
bequeathed to University College an estate in Yorkshire charged with
the payment of ,£600 per annum to " two persons, to be chosen out of
" the University of Oxford, when they are Masters of Arts and entered
"on the Physic line, for the maintenance of the said two persons for
" the space of ten years, and no longer, the half of which time at least
" they are to travel in parts beyond sea for their better improvement ;"
and he provided them with chambers in that College. The first two
Fellows were elected in July, 1715, less than nine months after the
death of the Founder.
By an Ordinance of the University Commissioners under the Act of
1854, instead of two Fellowships with stipends of ,£300 a-year each for
ten years, there are now three Fellowships, each of the annual value of
,£200, and tenable for three years only. Candidates need not be Mas-
ters of Arts or entered on the Physic line, but they must have passed
all the Examinations required for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and
must either have been placed in the First Class in one at least of the
Public Examinations of the University, or have obtained some Univer-
sity Prize or Scholarship open to general competition. Each Candidate
must declare that he intends to graduate in Medicine in the University
of Oxford with the view of engaging in the practice of Medicine, and
to travel abroad with a view to his improvement in that study ; and no
one is to be elected who is legally authorised to practise as a Physician.
But in case no person willing to make such a declaration shall offer
himself as a Candidate, or no person of sufficient merit for election, the
Fellowship then vacant is to be thrown open to all persons who have
been placed in the First Class in the School of Natural Science, whether
authorised to practise or not, and the person then elected is not to be
required to make such declaration.

Vikeeian Scholarships.
These have their endowment from the same Founder as the Pro-
fessorship of English Law. Their number, and the amount of the
stipends assigned to them, have been changed from time to time by
Convocation according to the state of the Vinerian fund, which now
amounts by accumulations to nearly ,£20,000. For many years before
1854 there were two Fellows and five Scholar?, each elected for ten
years, and receiving stipends, the former of ,£50, the latter of £'S0>
a-year. By a Statute made in 1853 it was enacted that in future
H

there should be only one Fellow, elected at first f< >r five years, Imt
capable of being continued lor rive more, with an annual stipend of
,£100. and five Scholars, each elected for five years, with an annual
stipend of X'35.
A new Statute, approved by the Queen in Council in 1867, suppressed
the Fellowship, and ordained that henceforth there should be three
Scholars, each elected for three years, with an annual stipend of £80.
One Scholar, and one only, is to be elected every year in Lent Term.
Candidates must be members of the University who have completed
two Fears and have not exceeded six years from their matriculation.
The election is vested in a board consisting of the Vice-Chancellor,
all the Professors of Law, and the Public Examiners in the School of
Jurisprudence; who are to appoint for each election three examiners,
including one at least of themselves. The subjects of examination are
the Civil Law, International Law, General Jurisprudence, and especially
the Law of England both public and private.
Each Scholar is to satisfy the Vice-Chancellor every year that he
belongs to one of the Inns of Court, or at least that he is bona fide
studying English Law.

Dean Ireland's Scholarships.
Four Scholarships "for the promotion of Classical learning and taste
were founded in the year 1825 by John Ireland, D.D., of Oriel College,
Dean of Westminster, the same munificent person who became after-
wards by his Will the Founder of the Professorship of Exegesis. He gave
for their endowment ,£4000 in £3 per cent. Consolidated Annuities,
now represented by a sum of £5813 8s. del. invested on mortgage.
One Scholar, and one only, is elected every year in Michaelmas
Term. Candidates must be Undergraduate Members of the University
who have not exceeded the sixteenth Term from their matriculation.
Each Scholarship is of the annual value of £30, and is tenable for four
years, provided the Scholar keeps by residence two Terms in each year.
The examination is the same as that for the Craven Scholarships,
and the person elected to the Ireland Scholarship is, if he has not
already gained one of them, elected to the first Craven Scholarship.

Eldon Law Scholarship.
In the year 1830 the Subscribers to a Testimonial in honour of John,
first Earl of Eldon, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain for twenty-
five years (1801— 1806 and 1807—1827), resolved to establish a Law
Scholarship wTith the moneys contributed, for the purpose of " recording
" Lord Eldon's connection with the Profession of the Law, and with the
" University of which he was so distinguished an ornament, and, at the
" same time, of conferring a real benefit, as well as a distinction, upon
" meritorious individuals, who may have to struggle with difficulties in
" the early part of their professional career,"
The management of the fund, including the election of the Scholar,
is vested in fifteen Trustees, who must be Subscribers, or descendants
of Subscribers, and Protestants.
Candidates must be " Protestants of the Church of England, and
" Members of the University of Oxford, who, having passed their Exaniin-
1 Owing to a change in the time of holding the examination, two elections were
made in 1385, one in Hilary Term and the other in Michaelmas Term.
BODEN SCHOLARSHIPS. 117
" ation for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, have been rated in the First
" Class in one branch at least at examination, or have gained one of the
" the Chancellor's Prizes, and who intend to follow the Profession of the
" Law." In Bye-Laws passed in 1830, it is ordered that all applications
be addressed to the Secretary to the Trustees, and that no application
made by or on behalf of a Candidate to any individual Trustee be
entertained.
The Scholarship is tenable for three years, running from June 4,
Lord Eldon's birthday, provided the Scholar keep his Terms regularly
at one of the Inns of Court. By a Bye-Law passed in 1854, it is pro-
vided that if the Scholar be called to the Bar, or commence practice
under the Bar, he shall vacate his Scholarship.
Should the fund increase sufficiently by accumulations or otherwise,
a second Scholarship is to be established on similar conditions.

BODEN SCHOLAKSHIPS.
Four Scholarships "for proficiency in the Sanskrit Language and
Literature" were established by Decrees of the Court of Chancery in
1830 and 1860, in order to carry into effect the purpose of the late
Colonel Boden, stated in the article on the Boden Professorship of
Sanskrit.
118 (MVERSITV SCHOLARSHIPS.
One Scholar Is elected every year in Hilary Term. Candidates must
be Members <>f some College or Hall, who have not exceeded the
twenty-fifth year of their age.
Each Scholarship is tenable for four years with an annual stipend of
£50, payable half-yearly, provided the Scholar retains his name on
the hooks of some College or Hall, keeps by statutable residenee three
Terms in each year, attends Lectures of the Professor, and makes
sufficient proficiency in Sanskrit. Default in these conditions entails
forfeiture of the Scholarship, or at least of some portion of the
stipend.
The Electors are the Boden Professor of Sanskrit, the Regius
Professors of Divinity, Hebrew, and Greek, the Laudian and Lord
Almoner's Professors of Arabic, and the Professor of Latin, or any
three of them ; but they may appoint a deputy or deputies to act in
their stead.

Founder's Will, there were but two Scholars.

Mathematical Scholakships.
Scholarships "for the promotion of Mathematical studies" were
founded in the year 1831, a fund for their endowment having been
raised by contributions from many of the Colleges and many individual
Members of the University.
At first there were three, each tenable for three years, with an annual
stipend of ,£50.
In 1844 a change was made, and a further change in 1864 ; and
there were then four Scholarships, two Senior, and two Junior, with
stipends of £30 a-year each.
The regulations were revised in 1885, and are now as follows : —
There are four Scholarships, two Senior and two Junior, and one
Exhibition. The value of a Senior Scholarship is £30 for the first
and £50 for the second year of its tenure. A Junior Scholarship is
of the annual value of £,'60 for two years, and the Exhibition is of the
annual value of <£20 for one year.
One Scholar, and one only, in each of the two classes is elected every
year in the first week of full Hilary Term. Candidates for the Senior
Scholarship must have passed all Examinations required for the degree
of B.A., and must not have exceeded the twenty-sixth Term
inclusively from their matriculation1. Candidates for the Junior
Scholarship and for the Exhibition must be Members of the Uni-
versity who have not exceeded seven Terms from their matriculation
inclusively.
The standing of Candidates who have matriculated at Cambridge or
Dublin before matriculating at Oxford is computed from the date of
such first matriculation, Easter Term at Cambridge or Dublin being
reckoned as equivalent to Easter and Trinity Terms at Oxford.
Each Scholarship is tenable for two years, provided the Scholar has

his name on the books of some College or Hall or of the Delegates of
Non-Oollegiate Students, and. in the case of a Junior Scholar, that
he continues to attend to Mathematical studies. The Senior Scholar
dieted each year receives, for one year only, over and above his proper
Btipend, the dividends of that moiety of Dr. Johnson's fund which was
formerly assigned to his Mathematical Scholar, and is called the
•. Johnson University Scholar." These dividends amount to about
,£'20 a-year. The Exhibition is tenable under the same conditions as
the Junior Scholarship, and is awarded to the Candidate for that
Scholarship second in order of merit, if thought deserving by the
Examiners.
The Examiners, three in number, who must be at least Masters of
Arts or Bachelors of Medicine or Civil Law, are appointed by the
Trustees of the Foundation, namely, the Vice-Chancellor, the Proctors,
and the Professors of Geometry, Astronomy, Natural Philosophy, and
Experimental Philosophy.

Kennicott Scholarships.
Two Scholarships for the promotion of the study of Hebrew were
founded by the Will of Anne Kennicott, widow of the celebrated He-
braist, Benjamin Kennicott, D.D., Canon of Christ Church. The
Foundress died in 1830, and the property which she bequeathed for
the endowment produced in 1831 the sum of ,£4800 in £3 per cent.
Consolidated Annnities. Owing to a change of investment the fund
now yields an income of about £200 a year. Regulations wTere made
by Convocation in 1831, according to which only one Scholar was to
be elected in a year, and each Scholarship was tenable for four years
under certain conditions of residence and exercises.
A Statute which the University was specially empowered to make in
18')3 reduced the Scholarships to one, tenable for one year only,
The regulations Avere revised in 1885, and there are now two Scholar-
ships, a Senior and a Junior.
The Senior Scholarship is awarded in Michaelmas Term of every
alternate year, and is tenable for two years, the emoluments consisting
of a single payment of £120, made when the Scholarship is awarded.
It is open to all members of the University who have passed the
Examinations for the degree of B.A., and who on the first day of the
KENNICOTT SCHOLARSHIPS. 123
Term in which it is awarded have not exceeded twelve years from
matriculation. It is awarded to the Candidate who on or before the
first day of that Term "shall have sent in that which in the judgment
of the Electors is the best dissertation on a subject connected with the
Hebrew language or literature," selected by the Candidate himself,
subject to the written approval of the Eegius Professor of Hebrew.
The electors are not bound to award the Scholarship for a dissertation
which in their judgment is not of sufficient merit, and they have
power to examine a Candidate in the subjects of his dissertation, and
in questions arising immediately out of it. No residence is required
in the case of a Senior Scholar.
The Junior Scholarship is of the annual value of ,£120, and is
awarded every year in Michaelmas Term after an examination in the
Hebrew language and literature. Opportunity is given to Candidates
for showing their acquaintance with the cognate Semitic languages.
Candidates must not on the first day of the Term in which the Scholar-
ship is awarded have exceeded thirty Terms from matriculation. The
Scholarship is tenable for one year, during which the Scholar is to reside
for seven entire weeks in Michaelmas and Lent Terms severally, and
seven weeks in the interval between the commencement of Easter Term
and the twenty-first day of Act Term, but such residence may be
dispensed with by the Board of Management of the Pusey and Ellerton
Scholarships under certain conditions as to the pursuit of study or the
undertaking of work elsewhere.
The Electors to both Scholarships are the Eegius Professor of Hebrew
and two other Members of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, or
Dublin, not under the degree of Master of Arts, nominated by the above-
mentioned Board of Management, and approved by Convocation.

Johnson's Scholakships.
Two Scholarships, "one for the greatest attainment in Theology, and
the other in Mathematics," were founded by John Johnson, D.D., some-
time Fellow of Magdalen College, who bequeathed to the University
the sum of ,£1200 for their endowment, directing that the money
should be invested in £3 per cent. Consolidated Annuities, and that
the dividends thereof should be applied " in the purchase of books on
Theology and Classical Literature," and no part given in money.
The bequest was accepted by Convocation in February 1833. Each
Scholarship was made tenable for two years. Candidates were required
to have passed the Examinations for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and
not to have completed the fifth year from their matriculation. But,
by Statutes which the University was specially empowered to make in
1863, one moiety of the endowment was united with Mrs. Denyer's
fund to maintain the Theological Scholarships described in the next
article, and the proceeds of the other moiety are given annually in
money to the Senior Mathematical Scholar of the year, who is called
the " Johnson University Scholar."
The Examination took place in Easter Term. The Examiners,
three in number, who were obliged to be at least Masters of Arts
or Bachelors of Civil Law, were appointed by the Presidents of Mag-
dalen and Trinity Colleges, the Dean of Christ Church, the Warden
of New College, and the Provost of Queen's College.

Denyee, and Johnson Scholab ships.
In the year 1863, by a Statute which the University was specially
empowered to make, three Scholarships for the promotion of the study
of Theology were established in lieu of Dr. Johnson's Theological
Scholarship described in the last article and of Mrs. Denyer's Prizes
for two Theological Essays described at page L51, and the joint revenue
of those two foundations, amounting now to about ,£'120, was appointed
for their endowment. By a Statute passed in 1878, amending the be-
fore-mentioned Statute, the Scholarships were reduced to two, of the
yearly value of ,£50 each. The Scholars are elected in the following
way.
Any Bachelor of Arts, who has not exceeded twenty-seven Terms from
his matriculation, may present himself for this Examination, which
is holden every year in Hilary Term. The standing of Candidates
who have matriculated at Cambridge or Dublin before matriculating
at Oxford is computed from the date of matriculation at Cambridge or
Dublin as the case may be, Easter Term in either of those Universities
being reckoned as equivalent to Easter and Trinity Terms at Oxford.
The Examiners, three in number, are nominated by the Electors of
the Examiners in the Honour School of Theology, and must be Mem-
bers of Convocation in Priest's Orders.
The subjects of the Examination are fixed each year by the Board
of the Faculty of Theology.
The Scholarships are tenable for one year only.

HERTFORD SCHOLARSHIP. 120
Hertfokd Scholarship.
On the dissolution of Hertford College, consequent upon the death
of its last Principal in 1805, part of its property fell to the Crown ;
and in 1818 Letters Patent passed the Great Seal, granting some of
this to the use of Magdalen Hall, hut giving one portion, now re-
presented hy a sum of ,£1251 14s. Id. invested on mortgage, to the
University upon trust to pay the dividends, after the death of the
Eev. Richard Hewitt, M.A., the only remaining Fellow of the College,
to an Undergraduate chosen " hy free competition and public examin-
ation " according to such Statutes as should be made by Convocation.
Accordingly a Scholarship for the promotion of the study of Latin was
established by Statute in 1834.
The Scholarship is tenable for one year only. The election takes
place in Michaelmas Term. Candidates must not have completed two
years from their matriculation.
The Examiners, three in number, who must be at least Masters of
Arts or Bachelors of Civil Law, are nominated by the Vice-Chancellor
and Proctors, subject to the approval of Convocation.

Tatloe Scholarships.
In furtherance of the object of Sir Kobert Taylor, as stated in the
Article on the " Taylor Institution," four Scholarships for proficiency
in Modern Languages were established in the year 1857. They were
tenable for two years. Two Scholars were elected every year, one for
proficiency in German and in some other language taught in the Insti-
tution, the other for proficiency in French and in some other language
taught there. Each received ,£25 a-year from the Taylor Fund.
Candidates were not to have exceeded the age of twenty-four years at
the time of the election. Under a new Statute made in 1869, one
Scholarship worth ,£50 and one Exhibition worth £25, each tenable
for one year, are awarded annually for proficiency in one or more of
the languages taught in the Institution (a year's notice thereof having-
been given), in Comparative Philology as applied to the same, and in
the literature of the selected language or languages.
1 Owing to a change in the time of holding the examination, two elections were
made in 1885, one in Hilary Term and the other in Michaelmas Term.

Davis Chinese Scholarship.
Sir John Francis Davis, Bart,, K.C.B., F.E.S., D.C.L. (sometime
H. M. Plenipotentiary in China), having in the year 1876 transferred
the sum of ,£1666 13s. 4/7. Consols to the University, for the purpose
of endowing a Scholarship for the encouragement of the study of
Chinese in such manner and subject to such regulations as the TJni-
COMMON UNIVERSITY FUND SCHOLARSHIPS, ETC. 135
versity should from time to time determine, the University, by a Statute
passed in January 1877, enacted that there should be a Scholarship,
called the Davis Scholarship, for proficiency in the Chinese language
and literature, with an annual stipend of ,£50, payable terminally,
open to all members of the University who on the clay of election
should not have exceeded the twenty-eighth Term from their matricu-
lation.
The Scholar is elected by the Yice-C'hancellor, the President of
Corpus Christi College (or, if the President be Vice-Chancellor, the
Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor), and the Professor of Chinese, after an
examination held by such persons as they may appoint for that purpose,
the Professor himself being always one of the Examiners.
The Scholarship is tenable for two calendar years from the day of
election, provided the Scholar keep a statutable residence of not less
than seven weeks in each Term, Easter and Trinity Terms being
reckoned as one, and pursue his studies in Chinese under the advice
and supervision of the Professor.
If at the time of holding an election the Electors do not think any
of the candidates worthy of the Scholarship, they have power to post-
pone the election for any period not exceeding two years, and, in such
an event, to grant the annual stipend of ,£'50, or any less sum, under
the name of an Exhibition, to any person who shall be certified to
them as desirous of pursuing the study of Chinese. The Exhibition is
tenable during the period for which the election to the Scholarship
shall have been postponed, and under the same conditions of residence
and study as are applicable to the Scholarship.

UNIVERSITY PRIZES.
The Subjects for all Prize Compositions are given out by the Vice-
( haneellor, generally about Midsummer in each year ; and at the same
time the several days arc stated by which the respective Compositions
are to be sent in to the Registrar. Each writer is required to send in
his Composition under a scaled cover, and to conceal his name, distin-
guishing his Composition by what motto he pleases, and sending at the
same time his name under another sealed cover with the same motto
written on the outside.

Newdigate, the Stanhope, and the two Gaisford Prizes, as the Public
Orator and the Professor of Poetry appoint, are read each year in the
Theatre at the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors.
xVll unsuccessful Compositions are left with the Registrar, and may

The Chancellor's Prizes.
LATIN VERSE. ENGLISH ESSAY. LATIN ESSAY.
The Earl of Lichfield, who was Chancellor of the University during
1762-1772, began the practice, since followed by his successors, of
giving two annual Prizes of ,£20 each for Composition in Latin Verse
and in English Prose ; and Lord Grenville, after his election to the
same office in 1809, added a third Prize of the same value for Com-
position in Latin Prose, which has likewise been continued by the
munificence of succeeding Chancellors.
The Prize for Latin Verse is confined to ftiose members of the
University who have not exceeded four years from their matriculation ;
the other two Prizes to those who have exceeded four years but have
not completed seven.
The Judges by whom all these Prizes were awarded were originally
the Vice-Chancellor, the two Proctors, the Public Orator, and the
Professor of Poetry. The Judges of Latin Verse and Latin Essays are
now the Public Orator, the Professor of Latin, and three members of
Convocation appointed by the Vice-Chancellor and the Proctors. The
Judges of English Essays are the Public Orator, the Professor of
Poetry, and three Members of Convocation appointed by the Vice-
Chancellor and the Proctors.

English Verse.
SIR ROGER NKWDIGATE's PRIZE.
Prizes for Compositions in English Verse were occasionally given
many years ago by benefactors whose names were not proclaimed at
the time ami are not known now. Among others, Sir Roger Newdigate,
Baronet, of Arburv in Warwickshire, D.C.L., of University College,
sometime Burgess for the University, who died at a very advanced age
in 1806, gave in the last year of his life a Prize for "a copy of English
" Verse of fifty lines and no more in recommendation of the study of the
"ancient Greek and Roman remains of Architecture, Sculpture, and
'•Painting;" and by his Will he bequeathed the sum of ,£'1000, (by
which, when invested with accumulations, the sum of about ,£1550 in
£'S per cent. Consolidated Aunuities was purchased,) directing that
<£21 out of the dividends should be paid annually as a Prize for a similar
poem, and that the surplus should help to form a fund for the improve-
ment of the Master's Lodgings at University College. After the very
inconvenient restrictions imposed by the Founder had been endured for
seventeen years, 1810-1826, they were removed with the consent of his
heir and representative ; and from that time there has been no precise
limitation either of the length of the Poems or of the range of the
Subjects.
The Prize, like the Chancellor's Prize for Latin Verse, is confined to
those members of the University who have not exceeded four years from
their matriculation.
The Judges are the Public Orator, the Professor of Poetry, and three
Members of Convocation appointed by the Vice-Chancellor and the
Proctors.

Denyer Theological Essays.
Mrs. Elizabeth Dennis Denyer, of Chelsea, widow, who died in 1824,
bequeathed to the University the sum of ,£2000 in £3 per cent. Con-
solidated Annuities in order to found two annual Prizes of £30 eacli
for Sermons to be preached upon certain subjects, which were stated
in her Will and arranged for a cycle of five years. But, as some of the
conditions were inconsistent with the Statutes, the University declined
to accept the legacy ; which then escheated to the Crown. Upon this a
memorial was presented on the part of the University ; and on Feb. 5,
1835, King Wilham IV, by Eoyal WTarrant under his Sign Manual,
granted the bequeathed stock, together with accumulations of interest,
to the University, directing that the dividends should l.e annually
paid in equal moieties as Prizes for two Theological Essays on subjects
named in Mrs. Denyer's Will.
The Prizes were confined to Members of the University, in Deacon's
Orders at least, who on the day appointed for sending in the Essays
had entered on the eighth and not exceeded the tenth year from their
matriculation. The successful Essays were read in the Divinity School
on some day in full Term appointed by the Vice-Chancellor. But, by
a Statute which the University was specially empowered to make in
1863, the Essays were discontinued, and the endowment, then amounting
to £3000 stock, was assigned for the maintenance of the " Denyer
and Johnson Scholarships" described at page 127.
The Judges, who both selected the Subjects and awarded the
Prizes, were the Vice-Chancellor, the two Proctors, and the Kegius
and Margaret Professors of Divinity.

a translation into any of the metres commonly used in dialogue by the
Tragic or Comic Poets, or for a copy of verses, either original or trans-
lated, in heroic or elegiac metre ; the Prose Prize either for an original

CLASS LISTS.
The names of those Members of the University who have been
awarded " Honours " in their Examinations will be found in the
Alphabetical Eegister at the end of the volume 1. Down to the end
of the eighteenth century the Examination for the degree of Bachelor
of Arts was little better than a mockery, and, if a Candidate showed
any superior attainments, there was no mark of honourable distinction
that could be given to him. The commencement of the present
system is to be found in the Statute of 1800, which gave an option
to each Candidate to offer himself for the ordinary Examination
which was held in every Term, or for a more strict Examination in
Easter Term, at wThich Honours were awarded according to the merits
of the Candidates. At this Examination, those who most eminently
distinguished themselves were to be classed as Candidates " qui se
Examinatoribus Publicis maxime commendaverunt." Of these there
could be no more than twelve ; and, if more than that number
appeared to the Examiners worthy of distinction, they were to be
described as Candidates "qui se Examinatoribus Publicis EGREG1E
commendaverunt." The names in each division were arranged in
order of merit, and were published. The Candidates were examined
in Mathematics as well as in Classics, and the Honours were awarded
for attainments in both conjointly.
In 1807 two stated times for the Examination were appointed, one
in Michaelmas, the other in Easter Term ; and it was enacted, that all
Candidates, whether for Honours or not, should be examined in one
course in one or other of those Terms ; that all who passed the Ex-
amination in either Term should be arranged in three Classes, in the
first two of which should be placed, alphabetically in each, the names
of those who passed with more or less distinction, the third Class com-
prising all the rest ; that this Class List should be twofold, having one
side for Literal Humaniores or Classics, the other for Discipline Mathe-
matical et Physical or Mathematics ; and that the names in the first two
Classes should be published.
In 1809 the Second Class was divided into two by a line, the names
above and below that line being placed in alphabetical order severally ;
60 that, though nominally but two, there were really three Classes of
honorary distinction.
In 1825 the name of "Third Class" was given to that which had

been the lower half of the Second class, that which had been the Third
was entitled the " Fourth < Haas," and the number of the names in it was
printed at the foot of the Glass List.
In 18301 tin; uumber of classes was increased to five, that which
had beeu the Fourth b Lng made the Fifth, and the first four being
designed for honorary distinction. It was also provided that those who
were not Candidates for Honours in the Classical School should be
examined separately from those who were, the former being taken first,
and that Mathematical ( landidates should be examined first of all in either
series. At the same time permission was given to the Examiners to place
in the Fourth class in Classics any Candidate whom they might think
worthy of it, even though he had not offered himself as a Candidate for
Honours ; and, as a choice between Logic and four Books of Euclid was
now allowed to those who were not Candidates for Honours, whereas
Logic was before required from every one, that permission was under-
stood as applying to the Fourth Class in Mathematics likewise. This
enactment took effect in 1831.
The Statutes which established the present course of examination
were accepted by Convocation in the years 1849, 1850, 1869, 1872, and 1886.
To the old Classical and Mathematical Schools, the Schools of Natural
Science, and of Law and Modern History were added in 1853, and the
School of Theology in 1870. The School of Law and Modern History
was divided into two Schools, one of Jurisprudence and the other of
Modern History, in 1872. The School of Oriental Studies was added
in 1886. There are four Classes for each School corresponding in all
respects to the first four Classes of the Statute of 1830. These Schools
are now designated the seven Honour Schools of the Second Public Ex-
amination. The examination of Candidates who do not seek Honours
is conducted on an independent footing and by other Examiners. Since
the year 1882 the examination, in. each of the Honour Schools has been
held once a year only.
Since 1883 the Examiners in the Final Honour Schools have had
power, of which they have occasionally availed themselves, to place at
the foot of the class-lists, distinguished by the word aegrotat (or aegro-
tant), the names of Candidates who have been prevented by illness
from showing that they are entitled to a place in the class-list, or from
undergoing the complete examination. Such Candidates are deemed to
have obtained honours in their respective Schools.
In the Lists issued by Moderators there were at first but two divisions
of Honour for each of the twro Schools of Classics and Mathematics ; but
from Michaelmas Term, 1854, there have been three. In each division
the Candidates' names are placed in alphabetical order.
Since 1885 the Examination for Honours in Classics has been held
only once a year ; that for Honours in Mathematics has, as before,
been held twice a year.
1 In 1826 it was provided that Candidates for Honours in Mathematics should be the
first examined in the Classical School, but no change was made in the arrangement oi
the Class List.
CLASS LISTS. 169
The Lists of Honours and Classes which have been published by
Public Examiners and Moderators from the first establishment of their
several Examinations will be found in the Oxford U.mvkksity
Calendar.
The regulations for the examination of Candidates for the degree of
Bachelor of Civil Law were revised in the year 1871. The examination
is held once a year, in Trinity Term, and the names of those < landidates
(not having exceeded the twenty-fifth Term from matriculation) who
satisfy the Examiners are arranged alphabetically in three classes
according to merit. The first examination under the new system '
held in 1873.
COLLEGES.
The Colleges are distinct corporate bodies, founded at various times
for the purpose of study, and nearly (if not quite) all of them for the
purpose of education also ; within the University, hut independent of
it ; governed, as to their own concerns, by their respective Statutes ;
each having a mansion for the residence of Members of the Foundation
and for the reception of academical students ; and holding property of
various kinds through the munificence of Founders and Benefactors.
In common use the word " College" signifies the mansion of each Society
as well as the Society itself.
In Oxford there are twenty-one Colleges now existing. The history
of their relation to the University is too large a subject to be treated
here. It may be sufficient to say, that for more than four hundred
years previous to 1855 no person could be a M ember of the University
who had not his name upon the books of some College, or of one of
the Academical Halls which are described further on. In the year 1855
a Statute was made, by which Members of Convocation wrere permitted,
under certain conditions, to open Private Halls for the reception of
students : but very few have hitherto availed themselves of the per-
mission. Another Statute, made in 1868, removed the old restriction,
and enabled persons to become Students and Members of the University
without belonging to any College or Hall. These Students are by
Statute designated " Non-Collegiate" (in Latin, Non ascripti).
The corporation of every College, except two, comprises a Head,
Fellows and Scholars in various numbers, and a few other Members,
whose numbers, offices, and titles differ in different Societies. All these
are Members of the Foundation, and receive stipends from the corporate
revenues. The two exceptions are All Souls and Christ Church.
At All Souls there are no Scholars: at Christ Church, which is a
cathedral establishment as well as an academical institution, there is,
besides the Dean, a capitular body of Canons, while those wTho answer
in most respects to Fellows are called Students. At Merton the Scholars
are called Postmasters, at Magdalen Demies (in Latin, Semi-Socii).
Keble College is a society or house founded for academical study and
education, and admitted to the privileges enjoyed by the Colleges and
Public Halls within the University by decree of Convocation, April 18,
1871.
The Heads of Colleges have not all the same title. The title is" Master"
at University, Balliol, and Pembroke Colleges ; " Warden" at Merton,
New College, All Souls, Wadham, and Keble; " Bector" at Exeter
and Lincoln; "Provod" at Oriel, Queen's, and Worcester ; "President"
COLLEGES. 171
at Magdalen, Corpus Christi, Trinity, and St. John's; " Principal" at
Brasenose, Jesus, and Hertford ; and " Dean " at Christ Church.
All the Colleges, except Lincoln, Keble, and Hertford, are now
governed by Statutes made for each by the Commissioners appointed
under the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act, 1877.
In Christ Church the Dean, Canons, and Students are the Governing
Body ; in Keble the Warden and Council ; in every other College the
Head and Fellows. Discipline over the Junior Members of each Society
is exercised by the Head, his Vicegerent, and certain Officers of the
College, who are commonly appointed from the Fellows.
In almost every College the Head is elected by the Fellows. But
the Dean of Christ Church is appointed by the Crown, the Warden of
Keble by the Council of that College, and the Principal of Hertford
by the Chancellor of the University. Headships are tenable for life,
but subject to the provisions contained in the new Statutes for the
retirement on a pension of a Head who has become permanently
incapable of performing the duties of his office, or for his deprivation
for grave reasons.
The Fellowships created under the Statutes of 1882 may be divided
into three classes, namely, Professor Fellowships, Official Fellowships,
and Ordinary Fellowships, but the representation of each class is not
provided for in all Colleges alike. Professor Fellowships are annexed
to certain University Professorships, and constitute part of their emolu-
ments ; Official Fellowships are tenable by the holders of certain College
offices, such as Tutors, Chaplains, and Bursars, so long as they continue
to hold those offices ; Ordinary Fellowships, which are of the value of
£200 a year, and are tenable for seven years only, may be awarded
after examination, or on condition of the holder undertaking definite
literary or scientific work in the University or elsewhere, or may be
conferred on University Professors or Readers. The Colleges are also
empowered to elect persons of distinction to Honorary Fellowships,
but the holders of such Fellowships have no share in the' government
of the College, and derive no emolument from its revenues.
Scholarships are usually of the value, inclusive of all allowances, of
-£80 a year. They are awarded by the Head and Fellows after exami-
nation, and are tenable in the first instance for twro years only ; their
tenure however may be prolonged, in case the industry and good con-
duct of the Scholar have at the end of that period been duly certified, for
another two years, at the expiration of which a further extension for
one year is in special cases allowed. As a general rule no candidate is
eligible for an Open Scholarship whose age on the day of election
exceeds nineteen years.
In the following pages the several Colleges are placed in the reputed
order of their foundation.
172
I. UNIVEESITY COLLEGE.
The College of the Great Hall of the University, commonly called
University College, was, according to popular tradition, founded and
endowed by King Alfred the Great, in or about the year 872. No
record however of this tradition is found earlier than the close of the
fourteenth or the beginning of the fifteenth century.
The first historical endowment of the College dates from the year
1 249. In that year William of Durham, said to have been Rector
of Wearmouth and Archdeacon of Durham, bequeathed a sum of money
to provide a permanent endowment for the maintenance of a certain
number of " Masters." The first purchase with this bequest was made
in 1253, and the first Statutes are dated 1280.
The endowment of William of Durham was added to at various dates
by other benefactors; among others by King Henry IV, at the instance
of Walter Skirlow or Skirlaw, Bishop of Durham, in 1403 ; by Henry
Percy, Earl of Northumberland, in 1455 ; by Robert Dudley, Earl of
Leicester, in 1587 ; by John Freeston, in 1592 ; by Robert Guusley, in
1610 ; by Sir Simon Bennet, in 1631 ; by Dr. John Radcliffe, in 1714;
and by Dr. John Browne, in 1764.
The foundation now consists (according to Statutes made in 1881) of
a Master, thirteen Fellows (including one Civil Law Fellow), seven-
teen Scholars, and twelve Exhibitioners.
The Fellowships are tenable for seven years, but this term may be
extended under certain conditions.
The Civil Law Fellowship was founded in 1837 by Mary Anne
Viscountess Sidmouth, in honour of her father, William Scott, Lord
Stowell, sometime Fellow of this Society. It is open to Members of
the L'niversity of Oxford who have passed all the Examinations required
for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, and have not exceeded twenty-
eight Terms from their Matriculation, and is tenable fur seven years.
The Scholarships are of the value of £80 per annum, and are open
to all who have not exceeded the age of nineteen on the day of election
They are tenable in the first instance for two years, but this term is
extended to four years in case of good conduct and industry, and may
for special reasons be extended to five years.
UNIVERSITY.
173
The Heron Exhibition and the two Lodge Exhibitions (annual value
not exceeding ,£70) are open to all persons in need of support at the
University who are not more than twenty-one years old or of more than
six Terms' standing.
The three Freest on Exhibitions (value £50) are confined in the first
instance to the Grammar Schools of Normanton, Wakefield, Pontefract,
and Swillington, and the four Gunsley Exhibitions (value not less than
s£45) to the Grammar Schools of Rochester and Maidstone.
All the ahove Exhibitions are held on the same tenure ax the
Scholarships.

II. BALLIOL COLLEGE.
Founded by John Balliol, of Barnard Castle in the county of Dur-
ham, and Dervorgilla his wife (parents of John Balliol, King of Scot-
land). The foundation had been commenced during the lifetime of
John Balliol, who died in 1269. The House was permanently endowed
by his widow, who in the year 1282 gave to it the earliest statutes. Its
revenues were augmented by the munificence of succeeding Benefactors,
particularly of Sir William Felton and Sir Philip Somervyle.
There are now fourteen Fellowships and fifteen Scholarships on the
old foundation at this College ; the latter of about ,£80 a-year, open to
candidates under nineteen years of age. There are five Scholarships
of £60 a-year, for persons educated at BlundellV School, Tiverton, on
the foundation of Mr. Peter Blundell, one of which is to be filled up
annually by examination at the School. There are four Mathematical
Scholarships, tenable for four years, of the value of £80 a-year. There
are also eight Scholarships, of £80 a-year, .tenable for four years, "for
the encouragement of the study of Law and History, and of the study
of Natural Science, in order to qualify Students for the professions of
Law and Medicine respectively," founded by Hannah, daughter of the
late Francis Brakenbury, as a grateful memorial of her deceased
brothers, James B. Brakenbury and Ralph Brakenbury, and in recog-
nition of an ancient connection between the families of Balliol and
Brakenbury.
Three Exhibitions (or more, according to circumstances) of £70
a-year are annually offered by the College for open competition among
all Candidates who have not completed the eighth Term from their
matriculation. There are also a certain number of Minor Exhibitions
of £40 a year.
The "Warner Exhibition (founded in 1667 by John "Warner, Bishop
of Rochester), of about £90 a year, is confined to natives, or those whose
fathers were natives, of Scotland.
All these Scholarships and Exhibitions, under the regulations of the
Oxford University Commission of 1882, are tenable for two years ;
there is a power of renewal for two years longer if the College are
satisfied with the Scholar or Exhibitioner ; and a further power of

extension to five years for special reasons. They can only be held
during residence.
The Snell Exhibitions (ten in number at present) were added in
1677 by John Snell, Esquire. The nomination to them is vested In
the Principal and Professors of Glasgow University, and the election
in the Master and Fellows of this College. One or two of these are
annually filled up by an examination held at Glasgow. They are
tenable during residence for five years.
Two Exhibitions of ,£100 a-year, tenable during residence for four
years, were founded under the will of Richard Jenkyns, D.D., Master
of the College 1819-54 ; to be filled up by competition among those
members of the College who have not exceeded sixteen Terms of
academical standing.
Henry Skynner, Esq., who died in 1884, bequeathed certain ground-
rents in London for the foundation of Fellowships and Scholarships
having for their object the study of Mathematics and Astronomy. A
Scholarship on this Foundation, of the value of £90 a year, tenable
for five years, has been established out of this endowment.
On the death, in 1887, of the last Principal of New Inn Hall, that
institution, which had existed as an academical hall from 1438, became,
by virtue of a statute made by the University of Oxford Commissioners
in 1881, united with Balliol College, in which its property, site, and
buildings are now vested.

III. MERTON COLLEGE.
This College, originally called the House of Scholars of Morton, was
founded in the year 1264, at Maiden in Surrey, by Walter de Merton,
sometime Chancellor of England, and afterwards Bishop of Rochester.
The first body of Statutes was given by the Founder in 1264, the third
and last in 1274, in which year the House of the Scholars was removed
to Oxford.
Subsequent benefactors were — in 1380, John Wyllyott, D.D., Chan-
cellor of Exeter, who vested his Estates in the College for the main-
tenance of Portionistse, since called Post-Masters ; in 1604, John
Chamber, Fellow of Eton, Cauon of Windsor, who left moneys for the
maintenance of two Post-Masters and one Fellow, to be elected from
Foundationers of Eton ; in 1753, Henry Jackson, sometime M.A. of
this College, and afterwards Minon Canon of St. Paul's, who founded
certain Exhibitions.
Under the new Statutes made by the University of Oxford Commis-
sioners in 1881, the number of Fellowships with emolument is not to
be less than nineteen and may be raised to twenty-six. Subject to
certain reservations, these Fellowships are tenable for seven years.
Most of them are awarded upon the results of an examination, but the
College is empowered, within certain limits, to elect without examina-
tion any Professor or Public Eeader in the University ; any person of
eminence in Literature, Science, or Art, who shall undertake literary,
scientific, or educational work; and any person who has been appointed
to act as Bursar, Tutor, or Lecturer of the College.
The number of Postmasterships, or Scholarships, is eighteen, but
may be increased. Provision is made for their being assigned, in a
definite rotation, to Classics, Mathematics, and Natural Science re-
spectively. Their annual value is ^80, inclusive of rooms anel all
allowances. They are tenable for two years from the day of election,
but may be renewed for a further period of two years, if the Warden
and Fellows, after receiving a report from the Tutors, shall declare
themselves satisfied with the Postmaster's industry and good conduct.
Under special circumstances, they may be again extended for one year

longer. No person is eligible to a Postmastership who lias exceeded
the age of nineteen on the day of election.
Two of these Postmasterships, being Chambers Postmastorships, are
reserved to Candidates educated at Eton College, if any shall present
themselves " of sufficient merit for election."
There are also four Exhibitions of £60 a-year, to which persons
are eligible Avithout restriction of age. These are awarded after the
same examinations and under the same conditions as the Postmaster-
ships.
There is also an Exhibition Fund, whichMs formed for the purpose
of assisting poor students and of promoting study among the Under-
graduate Members of the College.
On the resignation of the last Principal of St. Alban Hall in 1882,
that institution (said to date from the early part of the fifteenth cen-
tury) became, by virtue of a Statute made by the University of Oxford
Commissioners in 1881, united with Merton College, in which its pro-
perty, site, and buildings are now vested.

IV. EXETER COLLEGE.
This College was founded by Walter de Stapledon, Bishop of Exeter.
in 1316 ; and was incorporated by charter of Queen Elizabeth in 1565,
under the name of Exeter College in the University of Oxford ; and
enlarged by a second endowment given in that year by Sir William
Petre, Knight.
There are at present twelve Fellowships, including the Chaplain
Fellowship.
There are twenty-one or more Foundation Scholarships : of these,
eight (called Stapledon Scholarships) are limited to persons born or
educated in the old Diocese of Exeter, and either one or two (called King-
Charles the First's Scholarships) to persons born in any of the Channel
Islands, or educated at Victoria College, Jersey, or Elizabeth College,
Guernsey. The rest of the Scholarships are open. Four are usually
awarded for proficiency in Mathematics, and four for proficiency in
Natural Science. The College exercises the power of adding to the
number of Open Scholarships.
The Stapledon Scholarships are of the value of not less than ,£60 a
year ; the remainder of £80.
If no duly qualified candidates present themselves for the limited
Scholarships, these also may for the time be thrown open.
The election to the Open Scholarships usually takes place in Hilary
Term. Candidates for all the above-mentioned Scholarships must be
under nineteen years of age.
There is also a Scholarship founded by Mr. George Eedsull Carter of
the value of £80 a year, for which persons born in the County of Kent
who are already members of the College have a preference cssteris paribus
over other candidates. Subject to this reservation the Carter Scholar-
ship is open.
Two Scholarships, each of the value of £80 a year, have been founded
by Miss Marianne Frances Hasker, " for the advancement of sound
learning and for the encouragement of the study of Theology by persons
intending to take Holy Orders." These Scholarships are open to all
persons born British subjects who need assistance at the University.

179
There are various Exhibitions in the gift of the College. Of these,
two have the same limitation as King Charles the First's Scholarships,
two (How) are limited to sons of clergymen with preference for the
Founder's kin, or, in default of these, for sons of clergymen resident in
the County of Somerset or of Devon ; one (GifTord) is limited in the
first instance to Candidates educated at Ashburton School; two (Symes
and Michell) are restricted to students of Divinity who are of not less
than two terms' standing in the University ; one (Richards) to persons
already members of the College. The other Exhibitions are open.
and are awarded for proficiency in Classics and in the various subjects
of the Final Schools. The College has power to add to the number < if
Open Exhibitions.
There is no limitation of age for the Carter or Hasker Scholarships
or for the Exhibitions. Candidates for any Exhibition must be in nee I
of assistance at the University.

V. ORIEL COLLEGE.
This College was founded by Edward II. in 1326, on the suggestion
of Adam de Brome, his almoner, for a Provost and ten Fellows. The
number of Fellowships was subsequently increased to eighteen by
various benefactions. Four were founded by John Frank, Master of
the Bolls, who died A.D. 1441 ; one by John Carpenter, Bishop of
Worcester, about the year 1476 ; one by William Smyth, Bishop of
Lincoln, 1507 ; and two by Richard Dudley, Chancellor of the Church
of Salisbury, 1529. Queen Anne annexed to the Provostship a Canonry
of Rochester, which was afterwards severed from it under Statutes
made by the University Commissioners of 1877, and is now annexed
to the Oriel Professorship of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture.
Several Exhibitions and Scholarships were founded in this College
by different Benefactors : viz. six, of inconsiderable value, by Richard
Dudley, above mentioned ; three by Dr. Robinson, Bishop of London,
1718 ; four under the Will of Henry, Duke of Beaufort, 1744 ; two
under that of Mrs. Ludwell, 1761 ; one (the Rutland Exhibition), by
the Rev. Richard Twopeny, 1838 ; and two under the Will of Dr.
Ireland, Dean of Westminster, 1842.
By Statutes made by the Commissioners under the Universities Act
1877 the number of Fellows (exclusive of Professor Fellows) was
reduced to twelve. The Regius Professor of Modern History and the
Oriel Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture are Professor
Fellows.
Under the same Statutes there are at least ten Scholarships and
four Exhibitions, called the Exhibitions of Adam de Brome, tenable
for four years (which may be extended for special reasons to five
years) ; the value of each of these Scholarships and Exhibitions (during
residence) being £S0 per annum. Candidates for the Exhibitions
must be deserving persons in need of support at the University ; to
a Scholarship no one is eligible who has attained the age of nineteen
years.
There are also nine Exhibitions besides those last above named, an'1
two Bible Clerkships.

VII. NEW COLLEGE.
This College was founded by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Win-
chester, and sometime Lord High Chancellor of England, under a
Charter of Eichard the Second, dated 30th June, 1379, and a Deed of
Foundation dated 26th November, 1379, for a Warden, seventy Fellows
and Scholars, ten Chaplains, three Clerks, and sixteen Choristers.
Lender Statutes made by the Oxford University Commissioners in
1881, and approved by the Queen in Council, May 3, 1882, the Fellow-
ships hereafter are to be divided into three classes, viz. Professor
Fellowships, Tutorial Fellowships, and Ordinary Fellowships.
The Professor Fellowships are to be five in number, and are to be
annexed to the Savilian Professorships of Geometry and Astronomy :
the Professorship of Logic ; a Professorship of Ancient History ; and
a Professorship of Physics ; and the holders of the last three Professor-
ships are to be called Wykeham Professors.
The Tutorial Fellowships are to be so many, not exceeding ten, in
number, as the Warden and Fellows may deem necessary.
The Ordinary Fellowships are to be not less than fourteen in number,
nor more than will make up the whole number of Fellowships to
thirty-six, including any Fellowship to which a Bursar may have been
elected.
So soon as the revenues of the College will permit, two Ordinary
Fellowships (called respectively Winchester and Open Fellowships) are
to be filled up annually by competition. One of these is to be open to
all persons who shall have been educated for at least two years in the
School of Winchester College, or have been for at least twelve Terms
members of New College ; the other is to be open to all persons who
shall have passed all the Examinations required by the University for
the Degree of B.A.
The Scholarships are divided into two Classes, respectively called
Winchester Scholarships and Open Scholarships.
The Winchester Scholarships are so many as will enable the War-
den and Fellows to elect to six such Scholarships in each year, from
the boys receiving education in the School of Winchester College ;
NEW COLLEGE.
185
no distinction being made between members of the foundation of Win-
chester College and boys not members thereof.
The Open Scholarships are to be so many as will enable the Warden
and Fellows to elect to four Open Scholarships in each year.
No Candidate is eligible to an Open Scholarship whose age on the day
of election shall exceed nineteen years.
The emoluments of a Scholarship, inclusive of rooms and all allow-
ances, if any, are to be <£80 a-year.
Every Scholarship is tenable for two years from the day of election ;
but the tenure may be prolonged for a further period of two years ; and,
for special reasons, for one year more.
A fund is to be established for the purpose of maintaining Exhibitions
to be held by Undergraduate Members of the College.
The Choir is to consist of such a number of Chaplains, Lay-Clerks,
and Choristers, as the Warden and Fellows shall from time to time
determine. At present it consists of three Chaplains, seven Lay-Clerks,
and twenty Choristers.

VIII. LINCOLN COLLEGE.
Founded by Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, in 1427, for
a Bector and seven Fellows ; and greatly augmented by Thomas
Rotherham, Bishop of Lincoln, and afterwards Archbishop of York
and Lord High Chancellor of England, who added five Fellowships,
and gave a new body of .Statutes in 1479.
Scholarships were given by different Benefactors, the chief of whom
were Nathaniel Lord Crewe, Bishop of Durham 1674-1722, Richard
Hutchins, D.D., and John Badford, D.D., Bectors.
One Scholarship was founded in 1847 by Mrs. Tatham, widow of
Edward Tatham, D.D., Bector ; and in 1857 the Bev. Henry Usher
Matthews, M.A., left by Will certain moneys for the foundation of an
Open Scholarship, and also of an Exhibition from Shrewsbury School.
The existing Statutes, enacted under the authority of a Parliamentary
Commission in 1855, provide for a Bector, twelve Fellows, and fourteen
Scholars, on the Foundation. Other Scholarships are added from time
to time from the proceeds of two suspended Fellowships.
One Fellowship is appropriated to the Lincoln and Merton Pro-
fessorship of Classical Archaeology and Art.

College for the endowment of Open Scholarships of the annual value
of £'80, tenable in the first instance for two years and renewable for
a like period. Their tenure may be extended under special circum-
stances to a fifth year.

In 1842, three Exhibitions, called the Colquitt Clerical Exhibi-
tions, were founded by the three Misses Colquitt, of Green Bank, in
the county of Lancaster. These Exhibitions, which are of the value

Ministry in the Church of England, according to its Articles and
Liturgy, of the sons of indigent or deceased Clergymen, or of such
Laymen as cannot, unaided, support the expenses of a College educa-
tion. Undergraduate Members of Brasenose, who have resided at least

XIII. CHRIST CHURCH.
This Society, founded originally by Cardinal Wolsey, Cardinal of
St. Cecilia and Archbishop of York, on the site of the Priory of St.
Frideswide, was to have consisted of a Dean, Sub-Dean, one hundred
Canons, ten Public Readers, thirteen Chaplains, an Organist, twelve
Clerks, and thirteen Choristers.
This imperfect Foundation continued only from 1526 to 1529, when,
before its completion, the Cardinal having fallen into disgrace, King
Henry VIII. suspended the Foundation, which he re-established in
1532, under the name of Henry the Eighth's College, for a Dean and
twelve Canons. This was again suppressed in 1545 ; and in the year
following the Episcopal See was removed from Osney to this College,
and the Church of St. Frideswide was constituted a Cathedral, by the
name of the Cathedral Church of Christ in Oxford, for the maintenance
of a Dean, eight Canons, eight Chaplains, a Schoolmaster, an Organist,
eight Clerks, and eight Choristers ; together with one hundred Stu-
dents ; to which number one more was added in 1664, in consequence
of a Benefaction from William Thurstone, Esq.
The House is now governed by Statutes made by the University of
Oxford Commissioners, which became law in 1882.
Under these Statutes, there is a body of Students (equivalent to
Fellows) who are divided into two classes, Official and Non-Official.
There is also a body of Scholars. Of these, three are elected each
year from Westminster School, and hold their places, in the first in-
stance, for two years ; but at the end of this period their tenure may
be extended for three years more if the Governing Body shall have
declared itself satisfied with their industry and good conduct.
There are also five or six Open Scholarships offered for competition
every year, one at least for proficiency in Mathematics, one at least
for proficiency in Natural Science, and one at least for proficiency in
Modern History. These Scholars hold their places for two years ; but
at the end of this period their tenure may be extended for a second
term of two years if the Governing Body shall have declared itself
satisfied with their industry and good conduct ; and again for a further
term of one year, under similar conditions and for special reasons.
CHRIST CHURCH.
195
Besides these, two Scholars are elected each year from among Under-
graduate Members of the House who have been in residence for at least
three Terms and have the leave of the Dean to compete. These
Scholars hold their places, in the first instance, to the end of their
sixteenth Term from Matriculation, but at the end of this period,
under special circumstances, their tenure may be extended for one
year more.
All these Scholarships are of the annual value of i?80, inclusive of
all allowances.
In addition to these Scholarships the Governing Body may, if they
think fit, award to any selected candidate for the Indian Civil Service
a Scholarship tenable during residence with emoluments not exceeding
,£50 a year : such Scholarships are never to exceed six at any one
time.
There are Open Exhibitions of ,£45 a-year, together with tuition
and dinner free, tenable in the first instance for two years, at the end
of which time they may be extended by the Governing Body in the
same way and under the same conditions as the Open Scholarships ;
and also Exhibitions of less amount. Candidates before being allowed

XIV. TEINITY COLLEGE.
This College was originally founded and endowed by Edward the
Third, Richard the Second, and the Priors and Bishops of Durham.
As it was under the patronage of the latter, it obtained the name of
Durham College, though dedicated from the beginning to the Holy
Trinity, Our Lady, and St. Cuthbert.
Being merged with Religious Houses at the Reformation, it was
suppressed ; and Sir Thomas Pope, Knt., of Tittenhanger in Hertford-
shire, having purchased the site and buildings, began and endowed
a new Foundation, in 1554, for a President, twelve Fellows, and
twelve Scholars. The Fellowships and Scholarships (of which there
may now be sixteen) are entirely open.
There is also a Scholarship, nearly coeval with Sir Thomas Pope's
foundation, founded by Richard Blount, Esq., of the city of London,
who was connected by marriage with the Founder. The Henniker
Scholarship was founded in the year 1867, by Aldborough Henniker,
Esq., of Calcote, Somerset.
An Exhibition, called the Unton Pension, was given by Thomas
Unton, Clerk, of Drayton, in Shropshire, in 1693 ; a second, called the
Tylney Exhibition, by Frederick Tylney, Esq., of the county of Hants,
in the year 1720 ; and a third by Edward Cobden, D.D., Arch-
deacon of London, in 1784. There are other Exhibitions in the gift
of the College.
In 1873 the College received a legacy under the Will of Thomas
Millard, Esq., who directed the income to be applied so as to advance
Mathematical and General Science in the College.

XV. ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE.
This College was founded in 1555, by Sir Thomas White, Knt.,
Alderman of London. The original foundation consisted of a Presi-
dent, fifty Fellows and Scholars, one Chaplain, an Organist, six Singing
Men, eight Choristers, and two Sextons.
Under the Statutes made by the University of Oxford Commissioners
of 1877, the foundation will hereafter consist of —
1. Not less than fourteen nor more than eighteen Fellowships, of
which seven may be Official Fellowships, the rest tenable for seven
years. To these may, at future times, be added two ex officio Fellow-
ships, to be held by the Laudian Professor of Arabic and the Professor
of Mechanics and Civil Engineering.
2. Not less than twenty-eight Scholarships, of which six shall be
open, fifteen appropriated to Merchant Taylors' School, two to Coventry
School, two to Bristol School, two to Eeading School, and one to
Tunbridge School.
3. Four Senior Scholarships, also confined to former pupils of
Merchant Taylors' School.
There is also one Open Scholarship, created from the estate of William
Lambe by Statute 35 & 36 Yict. c. cliv.
In 1854, four Fellowships tenable for fourteen years were established
in this College in pursuance of the Will of Dudley Fereday, Esq., of
Ettingshall Park, Staffordshire. They are open, with certain limita-
tions and under certain conditions in respect of literary proficiency, first,
to the kindred of the Founder ; secondly, to natives of Staffordshire ; and
in case of a Founder's kin or Staffordshire candidate not satisfying the
conditions, then to any other person whatsoever.
Under the Will of the Rev. John Thomas Casberd, D.C.L., Prebendary
of Llandaff, four Scholarships were founded, each of the value of
,£80 per annum. Candidates to be Undergraduates not on any founda-
tion, of at least one year's standing in the College.

XVII. WADHAM COLLEGE.
Founded by Nicholas Wadham, of Merifield in the county of
Somerset, Esquire, and Dorothy his wife, daughter of Sir William
Petre, to be a College of Students "ad laudem gloriam et honorem
Omnipotentis Dei, bonarum literarum incrementum, ac communem
hujus regni utilitatem."
The Society was founded in 1612, under Letters Patent granted by
King James I, and consisted originally of a Warden, fifteen Fellows,
fifteen Scholars, two Chaplains, and two Clerks. Under the present
Statutes, which were approved by the Queen in Council on May 3,
1882, there are to be not less than eight or more than ten Fellowships,
inclusive of one held by the Professor of Experimental Philosophy,
and of one for the encouragement of the study of Medicine, on the
foundation of John Wills, D.D., Warden 1788-1806.
There are eighteen Scholarships, including five on the foundation of
Humphrey Hody, D.D., Regius Professor of Greek 1698-1707, and
sometime Fellow.
The election to two of Dr. Hody's Scholarships is made after an ex-
amination in the Hebrew language and literature, and in the election
to the other three special regard is to be had to knowledge of Greek.
The Scholarships are of the value of ,£80 a-year. They are tenable
in the first instance for two years, but in the case of all Scholars whose
conduct and industry are satisfactory this term is prolonged to four
years, to which for special reasons a fifth may be added. Candidates
for Scholarships must be under nineteen years of age on the day of
election, except in the case of Dr. Hody's Scholarships for Hebrew,
for which the limit of age is twenty.
The election of Fellows takes place on the Wednesday after the
Encaenia ; the election of Scholars on the sixth of December.
From the income of Dr. Hody's fund prizes are to be given within
the College on such conditions as the Warden and Fellows may deter-
mine, for proficiency in the Greek language and literature, or in Greek
Archaeology.
There is a general Exhibition fund, formed from the funds given for

of the Monastery of St. Peter in Gloucester. Several additional Buildings were after-
wards added by the Monks of that order, in different parts of Enpland, for the edifi-
cation of those of their own Societies. After the dissolution of Monasteries, in the
time of Henry VIII, on making Oxford a See, it was converted into the Episcopal
Palace ; but in the year lr>.r>9, it was purchased by Sir Thomas White, the Founder of
St. John's College, who gave it the name of " St. John Baptist Hall," though it was more
generally called " Gloucester Hall."

XX. KEBLE COLLEGE.
The College was built by subscription as a memorial to the late
Eev. John Keble, Vicar of Hursley, near Winchester, sometime Fellow
and Tutor of Oriel College, and Professor of Poetry in the University
of Oxford. The College was incorporated by Eoyal Charter bearing
date June 6, 1870, and by this Charter it is declared to be " founded
and constituted with the especial object and intent of providing persons
desirous of academical education, and willing to live economically, with
a College wherein sober living and high culture of the mind may be
combined with Christian training based upon the principles of the
Church of England."
The College is governed by a Warden and a Council of not less than
nine, nor more than twelve, members. The whole charge and super-
intendence of the discipline and internal administration is lodged by
the Charter in the hands of the Warden.
By a decree of Convocation, passed April 18, 1871, this College was
admitted to the privileges mentioned in Statt. Tit. II. Sect, vi, On the
Foundations for Academical Study and Education.

XXI. HERTFORD COLLEGE.
About the year 1282 Elias de Hertford converted into a Hall for
students certain premises in Oxford, which were thereafter known by
the name of Hertford, Hert, or Hart Hall.
In 1740, Dr. Richard Newton, then Principal of Hart Hall, obtained
a charter of incorporation for the Society, under the title of" The Prin-
cipal and Fellows of Hertford College, in the University of Oxford;"
but, the endowments proving insufficient, the College was in consequence
dissolved hi 1805. A part of the property of the dissolved College was
transferred to the University, and the Hertford Scholarship was endowed
therefrom. The remainder was transferred to Magdalen Hall under the
following circumstances.
Magdalen Hall, originally designed by Bishop Waynflete for students
previously to their admission into Magdalen College, and governed by one
of the Fellows of that College, became, in 1602, an independent Hall.
In 1816, the President and Fellows of Magdalen College, being desirous
of recovering the site of the Hall, obtained an Act of Parliament
(56 Geo. Ill, c. 136), enabling them to acquire for Magdalen Hall the
site and buildings previously occupied by Hertford College. The
Principal and other Members of the Hall were accordingly removed to
these premises in 1822, and received, as stated above, the residue of the
property formerly held by Hertford College.
In 1874, an Act was passed (37 & 38 Vict. c. 55), by which Magdalen
Hall was dissolved, and the Principal and Scholars thereof were, to-
gether with certain Fellows mentioned in the Act, incorporated as
a College of the University of Oxford under the name of " The Prin-
cipal, Fellows, and Scholars of Hertford College, in the University of
Oxford," and invested with " all such rights and privileges as are
possessed or enjoyed or can be exercised by other Colleges in the University
of Oxford^
This Society consists at present of a Principal appointed by the Chan-
cellor of the University, nineteen Fellows, and forty Scholars.
The new Foundation consists of an endowment for fifteen Fellow-

Bhips, thirty Scholarships, and sundry Lectureships. There are also
(besides bo anendowed Fellowship) two Fellowships tenable only by
married men for a limited onmber of years. The thirty Scholarships
are of the annual valne of ,£100, and tenable for five years. Most of
them are open.
Of the ten Scholarships formerly belonging to the dissolved Magdalen
Hall, and tenable for at leasl three years, four founded by the Rev. John
ftfeeke and two by the Rev. William Lucy are now of the annual value
of ,£40, and are limited in the first instance to persons educated at the
Free Grammar School of Worcester and Hampton Lucy School respect-
ively, but in the absence of qualified candidates from these .School-
art- thrown open to general competition. The other four, three founded
by Mr. Henry Lusby and one as a memorial of Dr. Macbride, late Prin-
cipal of Magdalen Hall, are open, and worth at least ^50 a year.
There are also two Exhibitions, founded respectively by Dr. Thomas
White and Dr. Henry Brunsell, in the gift of the Principal.

HALLS1.
The Academical Halls now existing in Oxford are mansions for the
reception of students, who live in them under discipline and instruc-
tion, and pass through the course of study to their several degrees,
precisely in the same way as other students who reside in Colleges.
But the term " Hall" implies also the society of students belonging to
each ; and in this sense there is a very important difference be-
tween Halls and Colleges, inasmuch as Halls are not corporate bodies,
and have no endowments for Fellows, and all the property which they
own is held in trust for them by the University. In each of the Halls
now remaining some provision for the Principals has been made by
Benefactors ; and in one a few Exhibitions or Scholarships have been
founded.
In early times students resorting to Oxford took up their abode in
lodging-houses, generally called Halls, under the charge of a Master
or Principal chosen by themselves ; and they removed from one Hall
to another at their pleasure. The number of such Halls on record is
so great that we must suppose that very many of them were very
small. Brian Twyne, at the end of his Apologia, has given the names
of more than 180; and Sir John Peshall, from "Wood's MSS., enu-
merates as many as 200. But Colleges gradually took the place of all
the smallest, partly by the actual occupation of their sites, principally
by offering better instruction and other advantages to students ; so
that when the Earl of Leicester was Chancellor, in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, there were but eight remaining open ; and three of these
were subsequently converted into Colleges.
Among the many steps taken by Lord Leicester for the restoration
of good order and discipline in the University there are two which
tended to assimilate Halls to Colleges in most things concerning the
residence of students within them. He secured for himself and his
successors the right of appointing Principals to all Halls, except one
in the gift of Queen's College ; and he caused an ancient Statute to be
put in force, which required that every student should belong to, and
should reside within the walls of, some College or Hall. The modifi-
cation of that Statute in 1855 by the institution of Private Halls, and
the removal of its restrictions in 1868, have been already mentioned at
page 34, and will be further spoken of at page 216.
1 Although, under Statutes made hy the University Commissioners of 1877, the two
Halls now remaining are, with a partial exception in the case of St. Edmund Hall,
destined to be ultimately absorbed into Colleges, this article is retained as being
generally applicable to the condition of the Halls at the time of publication.
HALLS. 211
The Heads of Halls are styled " Principals." In St, Edmund Hall,
the appointment of the Principal is made l>y the Provost and Fellows
of Queen's College, the Principals of the others were appointed by
the Chancellor of the University, who is the Visitor of all the Halls.
Halls are governed by the Statute Aularia, a code of regulations printed"
in the Statute Book, which were made originally by the University,
and have been amended from time to time by Convocation. The
Principal of each Hall is assisted in the exercise of discipline and
in his other duties by a Vice-Principal and other Officers (when
necessary), who are appointed by himself.
Under Statutes made by the University Commissioners of 1877,
St. Mary Hall will ultimately become united to Oriel College, and
St. Edmund Hall will be partially united to Queen's College.

ST. MARY HALL.
This Hall was originally a tenement on the present site, given by
Henry Kelpe, a citizen of Oxford, in 1239, to the Rector of St. Mary's
Church, and his successors. It continued to be the Parsonage-house
of the Rectors till Edward II, in 1325, gave the Church with all its
appurtenances to Oriel College. It was converted by that Society, in
1333, into a separate place of education, and subsequently became an
independent Academical Hall, receiving successive enlargement and
improvements in its buildings, principally at the expense of former
Principals, King, Nowell, Dean, and Hampden.
Thomas Nowell, D.D., formerly Principal of the Hall, left, by Will,
certain shares in the Oxford Canal Navigation, for founding an Exhi-
bition at the Hall, and for other purposes therein mentioned. The
Exhibition is now of the value of ^30 per annum, and tenable for
four years from Matriculation ; preference being given first to kin of
the Founder or of his Wife, then to the lawful descendants of the
Rev. John Rawbone (sometime Vice-Principal of St. Mary Hall) by
Jane Mary his wife.

NEW INN HALL.
This Hall, situate on the west side of the North Bailey, was for-
merly known by the name of Trilleck's Inn, from the circumstance of
its belonging to John Trilleck, Bishop of Hereford. Trilleck dying
intestate in 1360, it became, together with two other tenements ad-
joining, the property of his brother Thomas, who six years after (he
being then Bishop of Rochester) conveyed them to Mr. Hugh Pern-
bridge, Mr. Boger Otterey, and Walter Brown, Bector of the Church
of St. Magnus, in London ; and they to William of Wykehain, Bishop
of Winchester. William of Wykeham gave them, Avith three gardens,
adjoining on the west side, also a messuage called Bose Hall, and a
garden adjoining, to the Warden and Fellows of New College, in 1392.
The first Principal on record occurs in 1438.
In the time of the civil war, from 1642 to 1646, this Hall was used
as a mint for Charles I, to which the different Colleges and Halls sent
their plate to be melted down for His Majesty's use.
It was restored to the purposes of Academical instruction by Dr.
Cramer, Principal, afterwards Dean of Carlisle, wTho erected, at his
own expense, a handsome building, with suitable offices, for the recep-
tion of students. A Chapel was added in 1868 by Dr. Cornish, Prin-
cipal from 1866 to 1887.

ST. ALBAN HALL.
This Hall took its name from Robert tie St. Alban, a citizen of
Oxford, who conveyed the tenement to the nuns at Littlemore, near
I >xford, in 1230. On the dissolution of Littlemore nunnery, it was
•rivi-ii by Henry VIII. to George Owen, D.M., Physician to the King,
and Fellow of Merton College, who conveyed it to Sir John Williams
(afterwards Lord Williams of Thame) and Sir John Gresham. By
permission of Edward VI. they assigned it over to John Pollard and
Robert Perrot, Esqrs., in 1547, by whom it was finally transferred to
the Warden and Fellows of Merton College, and was some time after
established as an Academical Hall.

ST. EDMUND HALL.
St. Edmund Hall is said to derive its name from St. Edmund,
Archbishop of Canterbury in the reign of Henry III.
It appears to have been purchased in the year 12G9 by the Canons
of Osney, and soon afterwards devoted by them to the purposes of Aca-
demical instruction. The earliest Principals on record are William
Boys and John de Cornubia, the latter of whom was Principal in the
year 1317. After the dissolution of religious houses, it was granted by
Henry VIII. to two citizens of Oxford, through whom it came, by
purchase, into the possession of William Denyse (sometimes written
Devenysh, or Dennyson), Provost of Queen's College. It was by him
devised, in 1557, to Queen's College, which Society procured, a.d.
1559, an Act of Congregation, confirmed by the Chancellor, which
vested in them the perpetual right of nominating the Principal.
In 1763, George Holme, D.D., sometime Fellow of Queen's College,
and Eector of Hedleigh, Hants, bequeathed the sum of ,£1000 to the
University, in trust to apply it, with accumulated interest, to the pur-
chase of the AdvowTson of a Living, to which the Principal of St. Ed-
mund Hall should be presented. In 1821 the Advowson of Gatcombe
was purchased, to which the University first presented in 1844.
Members of this Hall are admitted to any of the Lectures given in
Queen's College.

PEIVATE HALLS.
A Statute passed in 1882 (in substitution for an earlier one dating
from 1855) enacts that any Member of Convocation above the age of
twenty-eight may, under certain conditions, obtain from the \Tice-
Chancellor, with the consent of the Hebdomadal Council, a licence to
open a suitable building as a Private Hall for the. reception of Aca-
demical students with the title of " Licensed Master," and make pro-
vision for the proper government of the students under his charge.
They are subject to all other Statutes of the University, and they
partake in its privileges, and are admissible to its degrees, in the same
way as other students.
The Private Halls now existing are —
CHABSLEY'S HALL.
"William Henry Charsley, MA., Licensed Master.
TUEBELL'S HALL.
Henry Joseph Tuerell, M.A., Licensed Master.
NON- COLLEGIATE STUDENTS. 217
STUDENTS WHO DO NOT BELONG TO ANY COLLEGE
OR HALL \
In the year 1868 the restrictions of an ancient Statute, which has
been already mentioned, were removed ; and persons are now permitted,
under certain conditions prescribed in Statt. Tit. III. Sect. I. and IV,
to become Students and Members of the University without being
members of any College or Hall. Such persons keep their statutable
residence in houses or licensed lodgings within the limit of a circle
the centre of which is Carfax, and the radius a line one mile and a
half in length ; they enjoy the same rights of profiting by Professors'
lectures, of competing for University Prizes, of attaining distinction in
the Public Examinations, and of being admitted to degrees and to all
the consequent privileges, as are enjoyed by other students.
The reception of students into the University under the prescribed
conditions, and the exercise of discipline over them during their resi-
dence in Oxford, are committed to a Delegacy consisting of the Vice-
Chancellor, the Proctors, the Controller of Lodging Houses, a Censor,
and six Members of Convocation holding office for six years, of whom
twTo are elected by Congregation, two by the Hebdomadal Council, and
two are nominated by the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors subject to the
approval of Convocation. The Censor, who is nominated by the Vice-
Chancellor and Proctors subject to the approval of Convocation, holds
office for five years.
The Students are under the supervision of the Censor, wrho is charged
with the care of their conduct and studies.
There are also Tutors appointed by the Delegates to give instruction
to the Students.

•21 S AFFILIATED COLLEGES.
AFFILIATED COLLEGES.
By a Statute of the University passed in 1880, any College or In-
stitution within the United Kingdom or in any part of the British
Dominions, being a place of education in which the majority of the
students are of the age of 11 at least, may on certain conditions be
admitted to the privileges of an Affiliated College. The conditions are
in eff! et as follows : —
The College or Institution must be incorporated by Royal Charter
or otherwise established on a permanent and efficient footing ; it must
allow the University to be represented on its Governing Body and to
take part in its examinations; it must have been admitted to the pri-
vileges of an Affiliated College by a vote of Convocation; and the
connexion between it and the University must be terminable at the
will of either body.
Any member of an Affiliated College who bona fide intends to be
matriculated may be admitted to Besponsions without having matricu-
lated, and if he has completed a course of two years at such a College
may, without having been matriculated, be admitted to any part of the
first public examination, or to any preliminary examination in the
second public examination.
Any person certified by the Delegates of Local Examinations to have
completed a course of three years at an Affiliated College, and to have
obtained honours at its second or final examination, may, if he has
passed or obtained honours in the first public examination or has passed
a preliminary examination in the second public examination, provided
he is matriculated not later than the Michaelmas Term next following
the termination of his course at the Affiliated College, as regards all
provisions affecting academical standing, reckon the Term in which
he was matriculated as the fifth Term from his matriculation.
A person matriculated under the last preceding clause may be ad-
mitted to any part of the second public examination if he has passed
Responsions or one of the examinations exempting from Responsions, or
has passed or obtained classical honours in the first public examination,
or has passed a preliminary examination having satisfied the Examiners
in a Greek book, and has also passed the examination in Holy Scripture
or a book offered instead thereof.
If further such a person obtains honours at the First or Second Public-
Examination, he maybe admitted B. A. after eight Terms of academical
residence, provided he has then passed Iris Final Examination.
The effect of this Statute is to reduce the period of necessary aca-
demical residence for a person coming from an Affiliated College from
three to two years.
The institutions at present admitted to these privileges are —
1880 June 1. St. David's College, Lampeter.
1882 June 15. University College, Nottingham.
1886 June 29. Firth College, Sheffield.
COLONIAL AND INDIAN UNIVERSITIES. 219
OF COLONIAL AND INDIAN UNIVERSITIES.
By a Statute of the University passed in 1887 any University situ-
ated in any part of the United Kingdom other than Great Britain may
apply to he admitted to the privileges thereby conferred.
The application is to be addressed to the Vice-Chancellor, by whom
it is reported to the Hebdomadal Council. The Council may, if it
think fit, thereupon propose to Convocation that the University so
applying be admitted to the privileges above referred to.
When a University, has been thus admitted, any person who has
pursued during two full years the course of study prescribed by such
University, and has passed all the examinations prescribed by it in
connexion with that course, may, without having been previously ma-
triculated, be admitted to the first public examination or to any pre-
liminary examination in this University ; and any such person may on
passing or obtaining honours in the first public examination or on
passing a preliminary examination in the second public examination,
provided he matriculates not later than Michaelmas Term next fol-
lowing, as regards all provisions affecting academical standing reckon
the Term in which he matriculates as the fifth Term from his matri-
culation.
A person so matriculated may be admitted to any part of the second
public examination if he has passed Responsions or one of the examina-
tions exempting therefrom, or has passed or obtained classical honours*
in the first public examination, or has passed a preliminary examination
having satisfied the Examiners in a Greek book, and has also passed
the examination in Holy Scripture or in a book offered instead thereof.
If further he obtains honours at the first or second public exami-
nation, he may be admitted B.A. after eight Terms of academical resi-
dence, provided he has then passed his final examination.
Every person offering himself under this Statute for the First Public
Examination must produce a certificate under the seal of a University
admitted to these privileges or under the hand and seal of the Chan-
cellor or Vice-Chancellor thereof.
No person already matriculated here can be admitted to the First
Public Examination under the provisions of this Statute.
