Stationery will be supplied. The packets of papers when opened will be found to contain the examination questions, time tables, the printed text of classical passages, &c., which are set in questions. Therefore _no textbooks will be required_. The subjects and books assigned may vary slightly from year to year. The requirements, however, are as follows:[34]— =1.= =Arithmetic=—the whole. =2.= _Either_, =The Elements of Algebra=—Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Greatest Common Measure, Least Common Multiple, Fractions, Extraction of Square Root, Simple Equations containing one or two unknown quantities, and problems producing such equations; _Or_, =The Elements of Geometry=. Elementary questions, including propositions enunciated by Euclid, and easy deductions therefrom, will be set on the subject-matter contained in the following portions of Euclid’s Elements, viz.:— Book I. The whole, excluding propositions 7, 16, 17, 21. Book II. The whole, excluding proposition 8. Book III. The whole, excluding propositions 2, 4-10, 13, 23, 24, 26-29. Any method of proof will be accepted which shows clearness and accuracy in geometrical reasoning. So far as possible, candidates should aim at making the proof of any proposition complete in itself. In the case of propositions 1-7, 9, 10 of Book II, algebraical proofs will be allowed. The American student especially should note that _arithmetic_ includes _circulating decimals_ and _English money_. =3.= =Greek= _and_ =Latin Grammar=. =4.= =Translation from English into Latin Prose.= =5.= _One_ =Greek= _and one_ =Latin book=. Any of the following portions of the under-mentioned authors will be accepted as a ‘book’:— Demosthenes: _De Corona_. Euripides (any two of the following Plays: _Hecuba_, _Medea_, _Alcestis_, _Bacchae_). Homer: (1) _Iliad_, 1-5 or 2-6; _or_ (2) _Odyssey_, 1-5, 2-6. Plato: _Apology_ and _Crito_. Sophocles: _Antigone_ and _Ajax_. Xenophon: _Anabasis_, 1-4 or 2-5. Caesar: _De Bello Gallico_, 1-4. Cicero: (1) _Philippics_, 1, 2; _or_ (2) _In Catilinam_, 1-3, and _In Verrem Actio_ I; _or_ (3) _Pro Murena_ and _Pro Lege Manilia_; _or_ (4) _De Senectute_ and _De Amicitia_. Horace: (1) _Odes_, 1-5; _or_ (2) _Satires_; _or_ (3) _Epistles_. Livy: Books 5 and 6. Virgil: (1) the _Bucolics_, with Books 1-3 of the _Aeneid_; _or_ (2) the _Georgics_; _or_ (3) the _Aeneid_, Books 1-5 or 2-6. Candidates, in preparation, may save time by noticing that _one_ Greek and _one_ Latin book _only_ are required. Translations _only_ are required; no questions being asked on the context or the grammar of the passages in the set Books. _Greek and Latin Grammar and Latin Prose should be given special attention_ for the separate papers set on those subjects.[35] [Sidenote: Texts.] The Texts used are the Oxford Classical Texts (so far as published).
