The oral examination will refer to the languages of the Old and New Testaments, the history of ancient and modern philosophy, reading of the Latin and Greek fathers, and of the German authors who will be designated at the beginning of each year. The examinations take place three times a year, on Easter, and at the beginning and close of the school year. The students of the preparatory class will be required to write an essay on a subject indicated by the faculty, which will count at the examination for promotion to the theological section. The students coming from the Protestant faculties of Geneva and Montauban will be examined in the authors studied by them during the last year of their attendance at these faculties. The requisites for the theological baccalaureate consist of six essays and an oral examination, embracing dogmatic theology, ethics, exegesis of the Old and the New Testaments, Church history, and practical theology. Two sermons will be demanded independently of the printed thesis. The examination for licentiate of theology will, besides the two French and Latin theses, embrace three subjects to be selected by the candidate from among the six which have just been mentioned in connection with the examination for the baccalaureate. The examination will be composed of two papers on each of the three subjects, the one on a written subject, the other on a Hebrew, Greek, Latin, or German text to be selected by the faculty. For the degree of doctor only one French thesis on a general subject is required. The library of the faculty is open every day from 9 to 12 A. M. and 2 to 5 P. M.; the students have to pay ten francs a year for its use. Art. Vm.--FOREIGN RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. AUSTRALIA AND NEW...
