Legal and Economic Bases of Colonial Teaching Universities. 83 



classes must reside with parent or guardian, or some relative or 

 friend selected by the same, and approved by the Chancellor or 

 Vice-Chancellor, or in some collegiate or educational establishment 

 or with a tutor or master, or in a boarding-house licensed by 

 Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor. No religious test is allowed, but 

 regulations may be made for securing attendance at Divine worship 

 with the approbation of parents or guardians. 



The details as to the establishment and the number of chairs and 

 lectures need not be referred to at length, the comparative curricula 

 of the different Universities not lying necessarily within the range of 

 our present review. 



It is, however, not a little instructive to study how the problem of 

 relation to outside colleges has been solved, or what attempts have 

 been made in that direction. The principle recognised in dealing 

 with these was thus set forth : — 



" Whereas it is expedient to encourage and assist the establish- 

 ment of colleges within the University of Sydney, in which 

 systematic religious instruction and domestic supervision with 

 efficient assistance in preparing for University lectures and examina- 

 tions shall be provided for students of the University, be it therefore 

 enacted," and so on. Although the question of finance is dealt with 

 in a later section of this paper, it is noteworthy that in the case of 

 Sydney reasonable endeavour has been put forth to make the 

 affiliated colleges worthy of the Colony and the University. A 

 peculiar endowment was provided for each college established and 

 incorporated within the University upon the following conditions : — 



That £10,000 at the least shall have been subscribed by its 

 founders, and of that sum not less than £4,000 shall have been paid 

 and invested in a manner approved by the Governor, and the residue 

 secured to be paid within three years, the whole to be devoted to the 

 erection of buildings on land granted for the purpose from University 

 or other land. The permanent endowment for such colleges to be- 

 paid from general revenue being not more than £20,000, with an 

 annual sum of £500 for the stipend of the principal. 



The provisions by which such colleges are brought into relation- 

 ship with the University set forth that students on entering such 

 colleges must matriculate at the University immediately, and there- 

 after continue to be members thereof, and regularly and duly attend 

 lectures. Candidates for degrees are then admitted from those 

 colleges on presentation of a certificate that the candidate has 

 completed the course of education determined upon by the Senate ; 

 no such certificate being accepted unless the Senate authorise the 

 college to issue it.
