FORM of a Notice for an Act.

Q. S.

Bona fide possessor fructus percipiendo suos fucit.
Legatarius in Testamento Testis esse potest.
Coll. 4to die Maii:

A. B. Resp.

The first question is proposed by the Respondent, the second by the Professor.

On the day of the Act, the University bell begins to ring at One in the afternoon, and twenty minutes before Two, the Respondent is waited on by a Bedell who precedes him to the Law Schools, followed by the Father and other members of his College. During this procession, the Respondent walks with his cap off, and on arriving at the Schools, he ascends a rostrum opposite the Professor.

The Professor in his robes preceded by a Bedell, then takes the chair, and the Father, seated in the Opponent's rostrum, directs the Respondent to begin-"Agas Domine."

The Respondent then commences his Exercise by reading a Latin dissertation, which occupies about half an hour on the first question. The arguments against both the questions are then propounded in syllogistic form, by a candidate for the degree of LL.D., or more usually by the Professor.

The disputation having thus proceeded for an hour, the Professor gives the Respondent an appropriate honour. The exercise then concludes with the Professor's determination upon the second question.

The Habit worn by the Respondent in the Schools, and by the candidate in both Congregations, is a full-sleeved gown, and a Bachelor of Arts' hood.

At the expiration of six years, the supplicat and the certificates of standing, residence, attendance on the Professor's Lectures, having declared for Law, and passed the Previous Examination, are presented to the Caput, and the supplicat is afterwards read in both Houses. At the next Congregation, after the supplicat has again been read, and approved in both Houses, the Candidate is admitted to the degree of Bachelor in the Civil Law.

A Bachelor of Arts of four years' standing may be admitted to this degree. His exercise is one Act, and he is not required to attend the Professor's Lectures.

Every candidate for LL.B., or LL.D., pays to the Professor £7. 78. for each Act.

A Doctor in the Civil Law must be of five years' standing from the degree of LL.B., or a Master of Arts of seven years' standing. The exercises are two acts and one opponency.

PROCEEDINGS IN PHYSIC.

A Student before he can proceed to the degree of Bachelor in Physic, must have entered on his sixth year, have resided nine

terms, and have passed the Previous Examination. The Exercises for this degree are one Act and one opponency. The form of notice, ceremonies, and mode of keeping the Act are precisely similar to those described in the last article, under the head of Proceedings in the Civil Law. The Questions for the Act generally refer to some practical point, or to some physiological or pathological subject. The Act must be kept either during the Term in which the degree is taken, or during the preceding Term. Candidates for the degree of M.B., in addition to an Examination by the Regius Professor of Physic, and a diligent attendance on a complete course of his Lectures are required to produce certificates of Examination by the Professor of Anatomy, Chemistry, and Botany, before they proceed to the performance of the Exercises in the Schools. They are also required to have attended a course of the Lectures of each of these Professors, in case the courses of the two former may have extended to fifty Lectures each, and of the latter to twenty.

By a Grace passed March 5, 1834, all candidates for this degree must, before passing their examination, deliver to the Regius Professor a certificate of diligent attendance on the practice and lectures of some well-known Hospital for the space of two years, or for so long a time as they shall have been absent from the University after keeping their Terms.

By a Grace, passed the same day, Bachelors in Physic may be admitted Licentiates in the Term next following that in which they have taken their degree, after examination by the Regius Professor and another Doctor in the Faculty.

Every candidate for M.B. pays the Professor for his Act £7.: and for M.D. £11. 11s. for the two Acts which are required.

A Bachelor of Arts may proceed to the degree of Bachelor in Physic as soon as he is of sufficient standing, provided that one year at least shall intervene between the two degrees, during which he must attend the Lectures of the Professor of Physic.

A student who has declared for Law or Physic, may put on a full-sleeved gown when those of the same year, who go out at the regular time, have taken their degree of Bachelor of Arts. He is then styled a Harry-Soph, (épɩopos).

If on or before the first of February in his fourth year, the candidate for LL.B. or M.B. does not declare, in writing, to the Master of his college, that it is not his intention to proceed to B.A. he forfeits £3. to the University Chest, over and above the usual fees; and if after this declaration he procceds to B.A. he also pays £3, extra to the Senior Proctor.

A_Doctor in Physic is bound by the same regulations as a LL.D.

A Bachelor in Music must enter his name in some college, and compose and perform a solemn piece of music, as an exercise, before the University.

A Doctor in Music is generally Mus. B,, and his exercise is the same.

COMPOUNDERS.

ALL persons are reputed and reckoned Compounders, who, before admission to their degree, have presentation to, collation, institution, induction, or any manner of possession of, any Living or › Livings Ecclesiastical, of what kind soever, which are rated (even though discharged) to the yearly value of £26. 13s. 4d. in the King's Books.

Every person, who is admitted to any degree, must if he be a Compounder, pay over and above the usual fees, the sum of > £8. 68. 4d.

Endowed Chapels, or other Ecclesiastical preferment not in the King's Books, are rated according to their real value.

Also any estate, annuity, or certain income for life, by whatever › tenure possessed (except Universty, or College income) whether in the person's own right, that of his wife, or any other person, if of the annual amount of £26. 138. 4d. makes a Compounder.

Ten-year men B.D. and persons taking a degree per saltum if Compounders, pay the Composition money for the degree, or degrees, passed over, as well as for that taken.

N.B. Every person, before admission to his degree, makes oath that he has not omitted to pay any of the fees required of him by the Statutes of the University.

CAUTION FOR EXERCISES.

THE University Statutes require certain exercises (as appears under the head Terms and Exercises) to be performed for the several degrees, which are sometimes granted to non-gremials with the omission of part, or of the whole, but with this condition, that they shall be performed within the following Term. The party deposits, as a pledge, the undermentioned sums with the Vice-Chancellor, which, on non-performance of the exercises, are forfeited to the University Chest:
