Abstract
EDINBURGH—. There comes into operation this year the new Science Ordinance, under which a student may study either for a pass or for an honours B.Sc. degree. Four years is the minimum time in which either degree may be completed. The main difference between the two classes of degree is that a student aiming at the honours degree in any science devotes in general the third and fourth years to a specialised study of the subject he is professing, cognate sciences being studied up to a somewhat lower standard. In the pass degree several branches of science are carried forward simultaneously to an intermediate standard. With the exception of the first year chemistry the lectures and laboratory work are now being conducted in the new King's Buildings on the southern margin of greater Edinburgh. Next year all the work will be transferred there.
