Every person admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Medicine shall, ipso facto, be admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Surgery. He can supplicate for the degree of Master of Surgery after the twenty-sixth term from his matriculation, provided his name has been on the books twenty-six terms, and he has passed an examination in Surgery, Surgical Anatomy, and Surgical Operations, which will be held in Trinity Term, after the Second Examination for the B.M. degree. More detailed information may be obtained from the University Calendar: the University Statutes, 1886; from the Student’s Handbook to the University; from the Regius Professor of Medicine; from the Professors in the several departments; and from the Sub-Librarian in the Radcliffe
Library at the Museum. UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. The student must enter at one of the Colleges, or as a non-collegiate student, and keep terms for three years by residence in the University. He must pass the Previous Examination in Classics and Mathematics, which may, and should if possible, be done immediately on coming into residence in October, or, which is best, obtain exemption through the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board or the Local Examinations, before commencing residence. He may then devote himself to medical study in the University, attending the hospital and the medical Or he may proceed to take a lectures, dissecting, &c. degree in Arts, either continuing mathematical and classical study and passing the ordinary examinations for B.A., or going out in one of the Honour Triposes. The Natural Sciences Tripos is the most appropriate, as the subjects are the same as those for the First and Second M.B. Examinations. For the degree of Bachelor of Medicine five years of. medical study are required, except in the case of medical students who have graduated with honours as Bachelors of Arts, four years only being then required, though it is rarely sufficient. This time may be spent in Cambridge or elsewhere. The first three or four years are usually spent in Cambridge, the student remaining in the University till he has passed (say) the examination for the Natural Sciences Tripos and the first and second examinations for M.B. Cambridge being now a complete School of Medicine, all the requisite lectures and hospital practice may be attended here, and many students remain to attend lectures and hospital practice until they have passed the first part of the third examination for M.B. The supply of subjects for Dissection and Practical Surgery is unusually abundant. There are three examinations for M.B. The first in Chemistry and other branches of Physics, and in Elementary Biology. These may be taken together or separately. The second in Human Anatomy and Physiology, and in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. These may be taken together or separately. The third may be also taken in two parts-viz., (1) Principles of Surgery (with Clinical Surgery) and
Midwifery and
Diseases of Women, and
(2) Pathology,
Practice of Medicine, Elements of Hygiene, and Medical Jurisprudence. The examinations are partly in writing, partly oral, and partly practical, in the hospital, in the dissecting-room, and in the laboratories. Previously to the first examination, lectures must have been attended on Chemistry (with manipulations). 1’reviously to the second examination, the student must have attended Lectures on Human Anatomy, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and Physiology, have dissected for six months, and attended Hospital Practice six months. Previously to the first part of the third examination, he

The candidate for the examination for the degree of Bachelor of Surgery (B.C.) is required to have passed the first and second examinations, and the first part of the third examination for M.B.; to have attended the Surgical Practice of a Hospital for two years, have acted as HouseSurgeon or Dresser for six months, and have gone through a course of instruction in Practical Surgery. The subjects of the examination are Surgical Operations and the application of Surgical Apparatus; the Examination of Surgical Patients is now included in the first part of the third examination for M.B.
