    REGULATIONS FOR GRADUATION IN MEDICINE AND SURGERY. The Degrees in Medicine and Surgery conferred by this University are all recognized by the Medical Acts as qualifying for practice throughout the British dominions, and for admission to the Army, Navy, and Public Medical Service. Every student who began his medical studies previous to 1st January, 1892, is entitled to graduate under the system in force before or after that date, according as he shall comply with the regulations in force in the University before1 or after that date. All others must fulfil the requirements of the new Ordinance— (Ordinance No. 14, Glasgow No. 1, Regulations for Degrees in Medicine)—the principal provisions of which are as follows :— I. Four degrees in Medicine and Surgery are conferred by the Uni- versity of Glasgow, viz., Bachelor of Medicine (M.B.), Bachelor of Surgery (Ch.B.), Doctor of Medicine (M.I).), and Master of Surgery (Ch.M.). The degree of Bachelor of Surgery shall not be conferred on any person who does not at the same time obtain the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, and the degree of Bachelor of Medicine shall not be con- ferred on any person who does not at the same time obtain the degree of Bachelor of Surgery. II. Subject to regulations to be made from time to time by the University Court, the University may also confer diplomas in Special Branches of Medical and Surgical Practice on graduates of the Uni- versity in Medicine and Surgery. III. Before commencing his medical studies, each student must pass a Preliminary Examination in (1) English, (2) Latin, (3) Elementary Mathematics, and (4) Greek or French or German : provided always that, in the case of a candidate whose native language is not English, an examination in the native language of the candidate may be substi- tuted for one in either French or German, and an examination in any other classical language for one in Latin or Greek.- IV. The extent and standard of the Preliminary Examination shall be determined by the Joint Board of Examiners constituted under Ordinance No. 13—[Regulations as to Examinations]—in accordance with the terms of that Ordinance. Under this Section the Joint Board have directed that for the Medical Preliminary Examination the papers set in Latin, Greek, and Mathematics, shall be the same as those set on the Lower Standard in these subjects in the Arts and Science Preliminary Examination ; and that the papers set in French and German shall be of a lower standard than those set in these subjects in the Arts and Science 1 These regulations are printed at pp. 21—25. 2 The candidate for the Degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery must have been registered in the books of the General Medical Council at least five years prior to the date of his graduation. In order to be so registered he must transmit to James Robertson, Esq., the Scottish Branch Registrar, 1 George Square, Edinburgh, together with a printed form of application, which may be obtained from the Assistant-Clerk (Matriculation Office, University), a certificate of having passed the Preliminary Examination.
