Examination (Pass), which can be taken at any time, and must be taken at some time before they enter for Honors in their Final School. In Moderations there are three classes of Honors, in order of merit-first, second, or third-but in each class the names are arranged alphabetically, not in order of merit ; in the Final Schools there are four classes of Honors, in order of merit, and with the names similarly arranged (alphabetically). There is no examination or thesis required for the M.A. degree it is granted as soon as the student has entered on his twenty-seventh term-representing the seven years' term of apprenticeship in the Guilds, before any one could become a Master.

The Scottish Universities occupy an important place among the great educational institutions of the world, both on account of their long and illustrious history, and of the peculiarly successful manner in which they have at all times kept in touch with the national aspirations and influenced directly the national life, fulfilling the supreme function of a university in reaching and drawing from all classes of the people, rich and poor. There are four universities in Scotland; St. Andrew's, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and, Edinburgh. The University of St. Andrew's is the oldest of these, and although now the smallest of them all in point of the attendance of students, its past has been singularly brilliant, and being now a federation of colleges, the development of its constitution furnishes useful material for the study of university organization. It is true that the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889, has brought the universities within the scope of a common, uniform system, and has changed the old systems radically, but to understand the prevailing order of things the better, it will be necessary to give a very brief historical sketch of the institutions corcerned, |
