[36] See p. 140. [37] A scholar’s absence from Tasmania in any other state of the Commonwealth or in New Zealand for educational purposes during any part of the first three of the said five years shall not prejudice his right to a Scholarship on the ground of non-residence. Attendance at School, College, or University in Tasmania during school years or University terms shall be deemed residence. [38] See p. 168. [39] (For a clear understanding of the provisions in South Africa one should refer to the Memorandum issued by the Trust, as the arrangements differ in several points from those for the other Colonies. However, in addition to what follows here, see p. 132.) [40] For a list of the Committees of Selection, see Appendix, p. 28. [41] From the Will. See Chap. ii, p. 18. [42] See p. 64.

Its functions and powers are connected only with the conferring of degrees and the approval of examiners. [51] Thus the confusion arising as to the number of Terms per year. For purposes of ‘battels’, &c., there are _three_ Terms, of eight weeks each; for purposes of ‘standing’, residence, &c., there are _four_ Terms, totalling twenty-eight weeks. [52] The degrees of _Bachelor in Medicine_ and _B.D._ are open only to those who have taken the Oxford degree of B.A., and are therefore out of the question for Rhodes Scholars who intend to reside only three years. The degrees of Bachelor and Doctor of Music can be obtained without residence. Cf. _Handbook_, Ch. x. [53] See list of such Universities and Colleges in the Appendix, p. 168. [54] See p. 79. [55] See p. 80. [56] Whenever possible, it is desirable that the necessary steps should be taken before the student leaves America or the Colonies (even as early as May). [57] Some idea of the character and scope of the Honour Lectures, as well as of the teaching force engaged in the various fields, may be gained from a glance at the Appendices IV and V. [58] See Chap. vii of the _Handbook_. [59] Senior standing (see p. 67) excuses from Responsions (and Additional Subject) and the Intermediate Examination; Junior standing exempts only from Responsions (and the Additional Subject). [60] ‘Science’ includes Mathematics, Natural Science, and Mental and Moral Science. [61] Cf. _Handbook_, p. 226. [62] See Appendix, p. 143.
