Any fourth-year Bursar, who has not two full classes remaining to be taken in the Arts curriculum, and who desires exemption from the above rule, shall make a written application to the Dean of the Faculty at the beginning of the session, stating the course of study he has followed at College, and what Degree examinations, if any, he has passed.

a. A student who begins his university studies by passing the preliminary examination in Humanity and Greek for the three years' course is considered to be a student of the second, third, and fourth years, according as he is fulfilling the above condition for the first, second, or third time respectively.

b. A student who, after having attended this or any other Scottish University for one or more sessions, competes successfully for an entrance Bursary in the United College, shall only hold it on the condition that he becomes anew a bona fide first year's student of that session, and takes the full statutory course of four sessions required for graduation. He is to be reckoned for all University and College purposes as being a first year's student of that year.

The following is the Sponsio Academica signed by students at matriculation :

"Nos ingenui adolescentes, nomina subscribentes, sancte pollicemur, nos preceptoribus obsequium debitum exhibituros, et hujus Academiæ Andreanæ emolumentum et commodum, quantum in nobis sit, procuraturos, ad quemcunque vitæ statum pervenerimus."

In Session 1887-88 there was instituted a Common Dining-Table for Students, similar to what exists at the Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. A dinner abundant in quantity, of the best quality, and well cooked, is provided 5, days a-week at 2 o'clock. The ticket for the St Mary's College session is £3, 3s., and for the United College session, £3, 15s. The accommodation, which was fully occupied last session, is limited to 45 students. Application for tickets should be made to Professor Lang, the University, St Andrews, before the beginning of the United College

Session. All the tickets, and more, were applied for last year before the College opened.

At a meeting of the Faculty of Arts, held in the Pedagogy on 13th August 1456, it was agreed to make provision for instituting a Library in the University, and various donations of books are recorded in the Faculty Register.
