CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY LECTURES. 



In addition to the above it was thought advisable to institute a course 

 of high-class lectures and examinations in connection with the Cambridge 

 University Syndicate. 



The first course — on Political Economy, consisting of eleven lectures — 

 was delivered by the Rev. W. Moore Ede, M.A., of St. John's College, 

 Cambridge, commencing on the 9th October last. 



Examination papers were sent in by 72 persons. Of these 14 failed, 

 22 passed in the first class, 36 in the second. High praise was bestowed 

 by the examiners on the general character of the papers sent in. 



The success of this course has encouraged the Committee in the 

 proposal to establish a similar course during the current year. 



The Liverpool School of Science has had the use of rooms as in 

 former years, in which the following Courses of Lectures have been 

 delivered, in connection with the Department of Science and Art, South 

 Kensington : — 



Practical Plane and Solid Geometry, and Machine Construction 



and Drawing. Teacher, Mr. A. J. Briant. 

 General Biology and Animal Physiology. Teacher, Mr. J. Powell 



Wright. 

 Navigation and Nautical Astronomy. Teacher, Mr. James Gill. 

 Geology and Mineralogy. Teacher, Mr. William Semmons. 

 Examinations conducted under the management of the Universities 

 of Oxford and Cambridge and of the Civil Service Commissioners have 

 taken place as usual. 



The following Societies have also had the use of rooms : — The 

 Amateur Photographic Society, the Liverpool Numismatic Society, and 

 the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological Society.
