PLAN OF EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES FOR HONOURS IN THE MATHEMATICAL TEIPOS.
1. Questions and Problems being proposed to the Candidates on nine days, the first three days shall be assigned to the more elementary parts of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, the fourth day to the easier parts of the higher subjects, and the last five days to the higher parts of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy.
2. After the first four days there shall be an interval of ten days; and on the ninth of those days the Moderators and Examiners, who shall have been engaged in the Examination of the first three days, taking account of that part of the Examination only, shall declare what persons have so acquitted themselves as to deserve Mathematical Honours, or to deserve an ordinary B.A. degree, or to be excused from the General Examination for the Ordinary B. A. degree.
3. Those who are declared to have so acquitted themselves as to deserve Mathematical Honours, and no others, shall be admitted to the rest of the Examination in the higher subjects, which shall include Heat, Electricity and Magnetism (both the elementary and the more advanced parts) in addition to those at present recognised in the Examination for the Mathematical Tripos; and after that Examination, the Moderators and Examiners, taking into account the Examination of all the nine days, shall arrange in order of merit all the Candidates who have been declared to deserve Mathematical Honours into three classes of Wranglers, Senior Optimes and Junior Optimes, and these classes shall be published in the Senate-house at Nine o'clock on the Friday morning preceding the general B. A. admission.
