272 REPORT—1890. 
without passing the Board’s Examination in such subject or subjects, and the fact 
will be endorsed on the Certificates granted by the Board. 
18. The Examination in Inorganic Chemistry shall include— 
(a) Characteristics of chemical change. Elements and compounds. Laws of 
chemical combination. Combining and equivalent weights. Chemicai symbols 
and notation. Classification of elements into groups in accordance with their 
chemical similarities. Division of compounds into acids, alkalis, salts, basic and 
acidic oxides, &c.,and the relations between the properties and the compositions of 
these different classes of compounds. Outlines of the chemical applications of the 
molecular and atomic theory. 
The student will be expected to illustrate the foregoing subjects by making 
use of the chemical properties of the following elements and their commoner com- 
pounds:—hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine, nitrogen, phosphorus, 
sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, mercury, iron, and chromium. 
(6) In practical Inorganic Chemistiy, the student will be expected to perform 
simple experiments, illustrative of the generally applicable methods of preparation 
and the characteristic properties of aczds, bases, salts, acidic and basic ovides. The 
experiments will involve an acquaintance with easy qualitative analysis, and will 
be restricted to compounds of the elements enumerated in the foregoing part of this 
schedule. 
Candidates who offer Inorganic Chemistry will be required to satisfy the 
Examiners in (a) and (0). 
19. The Examination in Organic Chemistry shall include— 
(a) The determination of the empirical formulz of organic compounds from the 
data of analyses. 
The general properties of the following classes of compounds, and the chief 
reactions by which the relations between the different classes are established, illus- 
trated in each case by one or two of the best studied members of the class :—paraf- 
fins, olefines, ethylic alcohols, ethers, ethereal salts, mono-, di-, and tri-basic acids, 
aldehydes, ketones, amines, amides. 
(b) In practical Organic Chemistry, the student will be required to prepare one 
or more compounds chosen from the foregoing classes. 
Candidates who offer Organic Chemistry will be required to satisfy the Exami- 
ners in (a) and (0). 
HicHER CERTIFICATES. 
The Higher Certificates give exemption, under certain conditions, from the 
following Examinations :— 
I. The first Examinations in the University course at Oxford and Cambridge 
—Responstons and the Previous EXAMINATION. 
A. The Certificate exempts from Rusponstons when it shows that the candi- 
date has satisfied the Examiners in Greek, Latin, and Elementary Mathematics. 
Candidates who pass with distinction in Latin or Greek, or who pass (with or 
without distinction) in French or German, are exempted from the Examination in 
an Additional Subject at Responsions, which must be taken by candidates intend- 
ing to enter for the Final Honour Schools in Mathematics, Physical Science, or 
Law, if they wish to be excused from the Classical Subjects hitherto required in 
the First Public Examination (Pass). 
B. (1) From the first part of the Previous Examination when it states that 
the candidate has satisfied the Examiners in Scripture Knowledge (showing a 
satisfactory acquaintance with the Greek Text), Greek and Latin; (2) from the 
second part when the candidate has passed in Scripture Knowledge, Elementary 
and Additional Mathematics; (3) and from the Examination of the Additional 
Subjects when the Candidate has passed in Trigonometry, Statics, Dynamics, or 
French or German. Exemptions obtained by Certificates which were granted before 
October 1, 1886, still hold good. For these exemptions the Candidates must be 
members of a school at the time of the Examination. 
II, At Oxford—the Matriculation Examination of the following Colleges and 
Halls: University, Balliol, Merton, Exeter, Oriel, Queen’s, New College, Lincoln,
