in the Honours School of Chemistry, whose qualifying examination is the Intermediate examination, must present themselves not later than three years after the date of passing that examination.

13. Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours, who are not graduates of this or some other Faculty, must pass (i) an examination qualifying for entrance to the particular School of Honours selected, and (ii) the examination in the School of Honours.

14. The examination qualifying for entrance to a School of Honours shall be the Final examination for the Ordinary degree of Bachelor of Science, provided that the qualifying examination for the School of Physiology may be the Second examination for the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, and that the qualifying examination for the School of Chemistry may be the Intermediate examination for the Ordinary degree of Bachelor of Science; and that the subject of the School of Honours in which the candidate desires to present himself shall be included by him as one of the subjects presented at the qualifying examination.

15. Candidates who are graduates of the Faculty of Science or some other Faculty may be allowed to enter a School of Honours on satisfying the Faculty that they are qualified to enter upon the course of study of the School. In the case of such graduate students, the date of graduation shall be treated, for the purpose of this and other clauses, as the date of the qualifying entrance examination.

16. A candidate who fails to pass the examination of an Honours School may not sit for any succeeding

examination of that School.

Degree of Master of Science

17. The degree of Master of Science may be conferred upon registered Bachelors of Science of not less than one year's standing from the date of graduation.

18. Bachelors of Science who have passed the examination in an Honours School may proceed to the Master's degree without further examination. Bachelors of Science who have not passed the examination of an Honours School must pass a further examination, or present a dissertation upon some subject included among the subjects of the Faculty.

Degree of Doctor of Science

19. The degree of Doctor of Science is conferred, after report from the Faculty, upon Masters of Science of not less than four years' standing from the date of admission to the degree of Bachelor of Science, who are adjudged to have distinguished themselves by their contributions to science.

Applications for this degree must be made in writing to the Registrar before March 1, and must be accompanied by copies of the printed papers and memoirs upon which the candidate bases his claim.
