PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS.

THERE are four Professional Schools in the University, viz.: Divinity, Law, Medicine, and Engineering. The Diplomas or Testimonials of these Schools can only be obtained by attending prescribed Courses of Lectures during two or more years, and passing a final Examination. The regulations relating to the keeping of Terms, the course of study, and the qualifications for the final examination, in each of these four departments, will be found under the several heads.

Students seeking credit for a Term by Lectures must, at the commencement of such Term, duly register with the Clerk of the Books their places of residence for that Term, and during Term notify a change of residence; if this rule be not observed, credit for the Term cannot be allowed.

DIVINITY SCHOOL.

STUDENTS in Divinity must keep six Terms-three with Archbishop King's Lecturer in Divinity, and three with the Regius Professor.

It is necessary, in general, for Divinity Students to get credit for all the Lectures except one, in order to save each Term. In the case of sickness, or some other inevitable impediment, the omission of a number of Lectures, not exceeding one-fourth of the whole, is allowed.

JUNIOR DIVINITY YEAR.-During the first year, which may be the Senior Sophister year of the Undergraduate Course, Students attend the Lectures of Archbishop King's Lecturer in Divinity, together with the Léctures of one of his Assistants.

Archbishop King's Lecturer in Divinity lectures during the Michaelmas and Hilary Terms, on the evidences of Natural and Revealed Religion; and in Trinity Term on the Socinian Controversy. His Lectures are delivered on Mondays and Thursdays at 11 o'clock.

His Assistants lecture on the same days at 1 o'clock.

Two days (not ordinary Lecture days) are appointed in each Term for English composition; and attendance on one at least of these days is necessary for keeping the Term.

On the first Lecture day of each Term Students are examined in a portion of the Greek Testament; on the first day of Michaelmas Term in the Acts of the Apostles; on the first day of Hilary Term in the Epistles to the Galatians and Philippians; and on the first day of Trinity Term in the Epistles to the Ephesians and Colossians.

The Examination is held at the end of Trinity Term for all Divinity Students who have attended and obtained credit for the three preceding Terms of the Divinity Lectures of the Junior Year.

Archbishop King's Lecturer is empowered to call on his Assistants to take a part in conducting the Examination.

A similar Examination is held at the end of the Michaelmas and Hilary Terms, for Supplementalists who have completed their attendance on Divinity Lectures in those terms respectively.

In rejecting a Candidate the Examiners determine whether he is to present himself again at either of the Supplemental Examinations, or to be kept back until the next Annual Examination. The Course for the Examination is as follows:

All Students who shall commence their attendance on Divinity Lectures in or after Michaelmas Term, 1859, shall be required to be qualified in Hebrew as hereafter expressed, before they can obtain the Divinity Testimonium.

To be qualified in Hebrew it shall be sufficient to have attended, at least, three Terms of the Lectures of one of the Assistants to the Professor of Hebrew, in the business appointed for the first Hebrew year.

Or else to have kept three Terms, either by attending the Supplemental Hebrew Lectures to be delivered by the Assistants to the Professor of Hebrew, or by passing the Examinations to be held every Term in lieu of these Lectures.

The Supplemental Hebrew Lectures shall be delivered on one day in each week during Term. The subject of the first Term shall be a portion of De Burgh's Hebrew Grammar; that of the second and third Terms, the remainder of the Grammar, with the first twelve chapters of Genesis.

The Examinations in lieu of these Lectures shall be in the subject of the preceding Term, and shall be held during the Term Examinations on days to be fixed by the Senior Lecturer.

And these regulations shall not interfere with the existing regulations under which the Testimonium of the Professor of Hebrew and the Primate's Hebrew Premiums are now given.

When attendance upon the whole Divinity Course has been thus completed, the Divinity Testimonium is given in the following form:

Testamur A. B. per biennium sedulo interfuisse Prælectionibus atque
Examinationibus in Sacra Theologia per leges Academicas requi-

sitis.

Students in Divinity are required to receive the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper at least three times in each year of their attendance on lectures.

These Courses of Lectures are as follows:-1. Hebrew. 2. Biblical Greek. 3. Ecclesiastical History. 4. Moral Philosophy. 5. Irish. The hours of Lecture in these departments are so arranged as not to interfere with those of the Divinity Professors and their Assistants.
