At the conclusion of the B.A. degree examination, additional papers will be given to such of the persons examined as may desire to obtain honors in any of the subjects selected by them for examination, provided that notice shall be given by such persons of their intention at least six months previously. 2. In Classics, the additional paper shall comprise a passage for translation from English into Latin prose, and passages selected from the best Greek and Latin authors for translation into English. In Mathematics, the additional paper shall comprise the following subjects of examination, treated with the Differential Calculus, and without the methods of Analytical Geometry : —Euclid : Books I. to VI. ; Book XL, props. Ito 21; Book XII., props. 1, 2. Arithmetic and the elementary parts of Algebra, namely, the rules for the fundamental operations upon algebraical symbols, with their proofs; tho solution of simple and quadratic equations; arithmetical and geometrical progression, permutations and combinations, the binomial theorem, and the principles of logarithms. The elementary parts of Plane Trigonometry, so far as to include the solutions of triangles. The elementary parts of Conic Sections, treated geometrically, but not excluding the method of orthogonal projections; together with the values of the radius of curvature, and of the chords of curvature passing through the focus and centre. The elementary parts of Statics, namely, composition and resolution of forces acting in one plane at a point, the mechanical powers, and the properties of the centre of gravity. The elementary parts of Dynamics, namely, the doctrine of uniform and uniformly accelerated motion, of falling bodies, projectiles, collision, and cycloidal oscillations. The first, second, and third sections of Newton's " Principia; " the propositions to be proved in Newton's manner. The elementary parts of Hydrostatics, namely, the pressure of non-elastic fluids, specific gravities, floating bodies, the pressure of the air, and the construction and use of the more simple instruments and machines. The elementary parts of Optics, namely, the laws of reflection and refraction of rays at plane and spherical surfaces, not including aberrations ; the eye ; telescopes. The elementary parts of Astronomy, so far as they are necessary for the explanation of the more simple phenomena, without calculation. In Modern Languages, and English Language and Literature, the additional papers shall not be confined to any particular author. In History, the additional paper shall be of a general character, and shall not refer to any period previously specified. In the remaining subjects, the questions shall not be so much of a special kind, having reference to books on the several subjects, as of a general character, having reference to the subjects themselves.
