OF THE MANNer of Entering THE COLLEGE, and OF PROCEEDING TO DEGREES AND DIPLOMAS IN THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY IN IRELAND.

The Students of the College are either Matriculated or Non-Matriculated.

MATRICULATED STUDENTS.

In order to obtain a Degree or Diploma in the Queen's University, it is necessary to enter the College as a Matriculated Student, to pass the Entrance or Matriculation Examination, and to pursue a fixed course of Study.

The Matriculated Students may be classified as follow:

I. Those intending to proceed to the Degrees of B.A. and M.A.

Degree of M.D.

Diploma of Elementary Law.
Degrees of LL.D. and LL.B.
Diplo. of Civil Engineering.
Diploma of Agriculture.

Students preparing for the Bar are, by the recent regulations of the Benchers of the King's Inns, enabled to postpone the commencement of keeping their terms in Dublin and London, and the payment of the entrance fees, for a considerable time, by completing their course for the degree of B.A. in the Queen's College.

Students preparing for the profession of Attorney or Solicitor, can (by 14th and 15th of Vic., c. 88) save two years of their apprenticeship, and postpone the payment of the apprentice fee for that time, by completing their course for the degree of A.B. in the Queen's College.

NON-MATRICULATED STUDENTS.

Persons may attend the Lectures of any of the Professors without passing the Matriculation or any other Examination. They are required to sign an engagement "to observe order and discipline in the College," to pay a fee of Five Shillings to the Bursar, on behalf of the College, each Session, and the fees for the classes proposed to be attended.

During the term of their attendance on College lectures, they are admitted to read in the Library, and on payment of a deposit of £1, are permitted to take out two volumes on loan under the same regulations as the Matriculated Students.

Non-Matriculated Students may, by Matriculating in the Faculty of Medicine, obtain credit for such parts of the course prescribed for Medical Students as they may

have passed prior to such Matriculation; but while they remain Non-Matriculated Students, they are not allowed to compete for scholarships, prizes, or honors, or to enjoy the other privileges of Matriculated Students.
