The first-named of these Students (Mr. Rowden) received only a Certi- 
ficate, as he does not belong to the Classes entitled to receive Medals. The 
following is the Government Regulation concerning the Medals generally : 
—‘‘ The Queen’s Medals which are offered for competition throughout the 
United Kingdom at the General Examination of Science Schools and 
Classes held each year in May consist of one Gold Medal for each group of 
subjects, and one Silver and two Bronze for each subject. All persons 
wherever taught may compete, the only restriction being that the Medals 
cannot be taken by Middle Class Students who are more than seventeen 
years of age. Middle Class Students above seventeen years of age who 
would otherwise have taken the Medal receive an Honorary Certificate 
instead.”
