ANNUAL MEETING. 431 
First. “ That the first suggestion in the Professors 5 Report 
be approved.” 
The Governors therefore resolved that the sum of ten 
shillings and sixpence be paid by each candidate as the fee 
for matriculation examination. 
Secondly. “ That the second suggestion in the Professors’ 
Report be approved.” 
The Governors thereupon resolved that the Principal and 
Professors be requested to draw up the advertisement referred 
to in this suggestion, and subject it to the approval of the 
Chairman of the General Purposes Committee. 
Thirdly. " That the third suggestion in the Professors’ 
Report be approved.” 
The Governors thereupon resolved “ that they are quite 
aware that they cannot submit to the control of any other 
body without the previous consent of the President of and 
subscribers to this Institution, but they are much indebted 
to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons for their sugges 
tions and advice, and will be glad to act upon this advice so 
far as is consistent with the interests of this Institution.” 
Fourthly. “ That the fourth suggestion in the Professors’ 
Report be approved.” 
The Governors thereupon resolved that it is most desirable 
that they should, without committing themselves to any abso- 
lute contract with either or both of the other Colleges, come to 
an understanding with the governing bodies thereof whereby 
similarity of matriculation examination may be established in 
the several Colleges, and lists of candidates, stating those 
admitted and those rejected, may be interchanged between 
the authorities of the same.” 
Fifthly. It was resolved “ that a copy of the above pro- 
ceedings be communicated to the Royal College of Veterinary 
Surgeons with the expression of the Governors’ sincere desire 
to co-operate with the Council in producing united action on 
the part of the several Colleges for the purpose of establishing 
by common undertaking an identity in their requirements of 
candidates for admission, so far as that no candidate shall be 
admitted who may fail in passing a matriculation examination 
under the following heads : 
1. Writing from dictation. 
2. Parsing a simple sentence. 
3. Reading aloud. 
4. The first four rules of arithmetic and simple rule of 
three.
