Abstract
WE have received from the Registrar of the University of London a copy of the Report of a Committee, and the new regulations which have been introduced in harmony with that Report, in the examinations for the science degrees. From a perusal of the Report, which we subjoin, all will feel how much is gained by the prompt action of the Senate of the University in so speedily modifying the plan of their examinations in accordance with the experience which they have obtained during the last seventeen years. It is not, however, only experience in the examination of science students which has led to the necessity for change, but the stimulus which has been given to the teaching of physics and biology, by the founding of science degrees and otherwise, has so altered the method of teaching these subjects that what was expected to be known formerly is quite different from that taught by the most able exponents of the subjects at the present time.
