“4, In each of the following compulsory subjects, namely, 
Physics, Chemistry, and General Biology, every candidate for the 
degree of Bachelor ot Science shall be required to pass a practical 
examination. 
“5. In each of the following optional subjects, namely, Physics, 
Chemistry, Geology, Botany, Zoology, and Anatomy, the candidate 
for the degree of Bachelor of Science shall be required to pass a 
practical examination. 
‘“©6, The scope of the examination in all the subjects should be 
defined accurately and at length. In the compulsory subjects the 
standard should be the same as that prescribed for candidates 
for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In the optional subjects the 
standard should be considerably higher. 
‘7, All candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science shall 
be required to keep terms at an affiliated institution, and shall also 
be required to go through a prescribed course of practical work 
in each of those science subjects in which a practical examina- 
tion is required. 
“8, The examination in four of the compulsory subjects shall 
constitute the first examination for the degree of Bachelor of 
Science, and shall be taken at the end of the second or any subse- 
quent year. The examination in the optional subject and in the 
remaining compulsory subject, which must be either Physics or 
Chemistry or General Biology, shall constitute the second exami- 
nation for the degree of Bachelor of Science, and shall be taken at 
the end of the third or any subsequent year. Provided that the 
optional subject which is taken by any candidate as part of the 
second examination for the degree of Bachelor of Science shall 
not be the same subject or a special branch of the same subject as 
that which is taken by him as part of the same examination. 
‘‘g, The degree ot Doctor of Science shall be given for special 
excellence in single subjects, and the general regulations relating 
to this degree shall be somewhat similar to those of the London 
University, except that an original thesis shall be required instead 
of a practical examination. 
“‘to, No candidate shall present himself for the examination 
for the degree of Doctor ot Science, until at least three years after 
passing the second examination for the degree of Bachelor of 
Science. 
“ 1, The subjects for the practical examination in Natural 
Science shall be set by the ordinary examiners. 
‘‘12, The examiner shall be requested in each case to set two 
or more alternative subjects, one or moxe to be selected by the 
Supervisors. 
“13, The practical examinations shall be held at the affiliated 
Colleges, and each shall be conducted by two supervisors, one of 
whom shall be the teacher of the subject in the affiliated College, 
the other a qualified assessor to be appointed by the Chancellor. 
‘“‘t4, The supervisors shall, whenever necessary, furnish to the 
examiners a report on the candidates’ practical work, such report 
to be forwarded along with any notes of results, &c., which the 
candidate may be required to make,” 
_ The Committee also recommend— 
“ That the Saige of the Committee on the subject of prac- 
tical examinations in Science apply to the practical examinations
