Belgian professors are requested to present them- 

 selves for medical examination before the proper 

 authorities, and to obtain, in the event of their 

 being rejected, a certificate to that effect. These 

 arrangements have been made after direct con- 

 sultation with the Belgian Government, which was 

 good enough to send to Cambridge some few 

 weeks ago, from Havre, an ex-Minister of Jus- 

 tice, who clearly explained the view of the Belgian 

 authorities, and these views have been loyally 

 adopted and followed in Cambridge. 



Any student who wishes to avail himself of the 

 opportunities offered by Cambridge should com- 

 municate with Mr. J. T. Sheppard, King's Col- 

 lege, hon. sec. of the General Committee, or Mr. 

 E. Bullough, Gonville and Caius College, hon. sec. 

 of the Academic Committee. Genuine students at 

 Belgian universities, who are members of the 

 Allied Forces, i.e. French, Russian, Japanese, 

 Servians, Montenegrins, are welcomed on the same 

 terms as the Belgians. All are expected to observe 

 the not very rigorous rules of the university which 

 for a time is their host. Students at Belgian 

 universities belonging to neutral countries, 

 Sweden, Spain, Mexico, etc., are welcomed, but 

 they must pay their way. 



Classes in English for Belgian students have 

 for some weeks been in progress, and they are 

 graded carefully according to the needs of our 

 guests. Those who have an adequate acquaint- 

 ance with our language are following the ordinary 

 university courses. 



As an example of what is going on we append 

 the list of lectures for the engineering course, and 

 that for the students in commercial science. It 

 seems to be a custom of the Belgian universities 

 to have one complete week-day holiday in the 

 week, and this day is not the same day in the 

 varying faculties. It may be of interest to those 

 who read Nature abroad to add a list of the 

 resident Belgian professors in Cambridge, but this 

 is necessarily incomplete.
