Bishop Kaye's Lectures.

In Lent Term, 1821, the present Regius Professor delivered a course of lectures on the writings of the Fathers, the principal object of which was to direct the attention of the theological student to the account given by the Fathers of the doctrines and opinions of the ages in which they lived, with a particular view to the illustration of the Articles of the Church of England. The Professor took the writings of the Fathers in the order in which Lardner has placed them, and concluded with Irenæus. The Professor resumed his lectures in Michaelmas Term, 1822, and concluded with the writings of Clemens Alexandrinus. He has since delivered a course on the writings of Tertullian, the substance of which has been published, under the title of "The Ecclesiastical History of the Second and Third Centuries Illustrated from the Writings of Tertullian.

The King's Professor of Civil Law delivers his course of lectures at Trinity Hall, in three successive Terms, beginning at the middle of the Michaelmas Term, and ending at the division of the Midsummer Term.

was enacted, that no person should be admitted to the degree of B.C.L. without producing to the Caput a certificate of his having attended the lectures in Civil Law for three terms. The plan of these lectures may be seen in a work, of which the fourth edition was printed at Cambridge in 1795, entitled, "An Analysis of the Roman Civil Law," in which a comparison is occasionally made between the Roman Laws and those of England, by Samuel Hallifax, late Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, and formerly the King's Professor of Civil Law in this University.

Dr. Geldart upon his appointment instituted an examination in the subjects of his lectures, and all persons who have been candidates for the degree of B.C.L. have been examined previously to the performing of the public exercise in the schools.

The following is the order of the Classes from October 1815, to July 1826.

Some Students in each year whose names are not inserted in these Classes, were permitted to pass, but not judged worthy to be classed.

* A syllabus of each public lecture may be had at Deighton's, booksellers, to whom the names of the attendants at the different lectures are to be delivered.

The third Classes of 1822-23, 1823-24, 1824-25, and 1825-26, are in alphabetical order.

Dr. Haviland's Lectures.

The present Professor has instituted a course of lectures on Pathology, and on the practice of Physic; the object of which is to prepare and instruct those, who are about to enter on the study of Physic, in the principles of the science; and more particularly to direct their studies to the attainment of a knowledge of the phenomena of disease, and of the means of preventing and controlling it.

The course commences about the division of the Lent term, and continues during the remainder of that and the first half of the Easter Term.

The Terms of Attendance are the same as for the Lectures of the Regius Professor of Civil Law.

By a senatus-consultum in 1820, it was enacted that no person should be admitted to the degree of M.B. without having first produced to the Caput a certificate, in the hand-writing of the Professor, of a constant attendance on these lectures for two terms.

Dr. Haviland has also established an examination of the candidates for the degree of Bachelor in Physic. Besides the subjects of his lectures, this examination embraces the sciences of Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacy.
