Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—Proposals have been laid before the Senate for modifying the principles of classification in the natural sciences tripos, though the proposals are not unanimously acquiesced in by the boards concerned. In part i., in which at present the aggregate mark in three or four sciences governs the class, it is suggested that weight should also be given to the candidate's particular performances in each subject. In part ii., a candidate is required, for a first class, to take at least one primary and one subsidiary subject; it is proposed to abolish the requirement of a subsidiary subject. It is further proposed that human anatomy and vertebrate comparative anatomy should in future be reckoned as a single subject in this part of the tripos. These changes, if approved, are to come into effect in 1904.
