 Classics. In Forms V and VI a choice of specialization is offered in classics, 

 mathematics, modern languages, science or engineering. 



UNIVERSITY COLLEGE 



A public meeting was held in Clifton on the 11 June, 1874, with the 

 object of establishing a college in Bristol, which should combine technical 

 training with general culture. Dr. Percival, then head master of Clifton 

 College, now bishop of Hereford, and Dr. Jowett, master of Balliol, were 

 among the chief movers, and subscriptions were raised, and a company incor- 

 porated under the Companies Act of 1862. The first session of the college 

 was opened 10 October, 1876, under the presidency of Dr. Elliott, dean of 

 Bristol, with a staff of two professors and four lecturers in the faculty of arts 

 and science, and it was housed in temporary premises in Park Row. The 

 Bristol Medical School, which was started with a course of lectures in 1814, 

 and incorporated in 1832, was in 1893 incorporated with the University 

 College, of which it became the faculty of medicine. A department of 

 engineering was started in 1878. A day training college for women was 

 affiliated in 1892, and a similar college for men in 1905 ; a secondary 

 training department was added in 1902 ; lectures on law and on social 

 problems are given under boards of legal and social studies. 



There are now 9 professors, one assistant professor, 24 lecturers and 

 3 readers in the faculty of arts and science ; 8 professors and 2 1 lecturers in 

 the faculty of medicine. The buildings have cost upwards of 45,000.

 who held office till 1887. The present principal is Professor Lloyd
