Examination, that he is qualified to attend the Higher Classes of Latin, Greek, or Mathematics, or any one of them, may be admitted to such Higher Class or Classes, without having previously attended the Junior Class or Classes, in the same department. When a Student has been thus admitted by the Faculty of Arts, to the Higher Classes both of Latin and Greek, without having previously attended the First or Junior Latin and Greek Classes, his Course of Study for the Degree of Master of Arts may be completed within THRee Winter SESSIONS, instead of Four. And no Student who is thus admitted to the Higher Class of LATIN, GREEK, or MATHEMATICS, without having previously attended the First or Junior Class in the same department, is required to give attendance in Latin, Greek, or Mathematics respectively, for more than One Session, as a necessary part of the Course of Study for the Degree of Master of Arts.

III. In pursuing the Course of Study for the Degree of Master of Arts, no Student is permitted to pass from the Junior to the Higher Class, unless the Professor is satisfied of his fitness to enter the Higher Class.

IV. It is in the power of any Student, who has given attendance during one or more Sessions in any Scottish University, to complete his Course of Study, by giving attendance during the remaining Sessions of the Course in the University of Edinburgh; provided always that every such Student gives attendance in the University of Edinburgh during, at least, the last Two Sessions of his Course; provided also that he produces, to the satisfaction of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Edinburgh, Certificates of his attendance at the former Scottish University, and that he is examined in all the Departments necessary for the Degree of Master of Arts, by the Examiners of the University of Edinburgh, in which alone he is allowed to graduate.

V. Candidates for the Degree of Master of Arts must be examined on all the Seven subjects of instruction embraced in the above Course of Academical Study; and the Examinations may be conducted wholly in writing or partly viva voce.

VI. Any Student who has completed his attendance on the Classes of

LATIN AND GREEK,

required in the prescribed Course of Study, may be examined on these Subjects, at any Examination for Degrees, although he may not have completed his attendance on the other Classes of the prescribed Course.

In like manner, any Student who has completed his attendance on the Classes of

LOGIC AND METAPHYSICS, MORAL PHILOSOPHY, AND RHETORIC AND ENGLISH LITERATURE,

may be examined on these Subjects, at any Examination for Degrees, although he may not have completed his attendance on the other Classes of the prescribed Course.

Also, in like manner, any Student who has completed the attendance required in the prescribed Course of study on the Classes of

MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL PHILOSOPHY,

may be examined on these Subjects at any Examination for Degrees, although he may not have completed his attendance on the other Classes of the prescribed Course.

And if such Student shall satisfy the Examiners, when so examined, in the Department of CLASSICAL LITERATURE, which comprehends Latin and Greek-or in the Department of PHILOSOPHY, which comprehends Logic and Metaphysics, Moral Philosophy, and Rhetoric and English Literature-or in the Department of MATHEMATICS, which comprehends Pure Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, he shall receive from them a CERTIFICATE to that effect, and he shall not be examined again in the same Department, as a condition of his taking the Degree of Master of Arts.

VII. Students who have fulfilled the preceding conditions, and have passed the ordinary examinations on the several subjects embraced in the prescribed Course of Study, are, on presenting themselves at the Public Ceremonial of Graduation,

IX. Fees for examination must be paid by candidates in advance. The examination fee for the Degree of Master of Arts is Three Guineas. The fee for examination in each of the three departments mentioned in Article VI. is One Guinea; and no further fee than the sum of Three Guineas is payable by any candidate for admission to the Degree in Arts, whether with or without Honours.

GRADUATION IN ARTS, WITH HONOURS.

I. Students who have passed the Examination in each one of the seven subjects embraced in the Course of Study prescribed for the Degree of Master of Arts, may, before taking the Degree, offer themselves for a further examination, which may be conducted wholly in writing, or partly viva voce, with a view to Graduation with Honours; and that either in the same year in which they have completed the Pass or Ordinary Examinations, or in a future year. But no person, without the special permission of the Senatus Academicus can be admitted to an Examination for Honours, after he has ceased, for more than one Winter Session, to be a Matriculated Student, in attendance on a class or classes in the University.
