There are two sessions, beginning respectively in
October and May, the latter being confined to law
and medicine. The university confers all the
usual degrees. To qualify in Arts it is necessary
to attend the classes for Latin, Greek, Mathematics,
Logic, Rhetoric, Moral and Natural Philosophy.
There are some 125 bursaries amounting in the
annual aggregate value of scholarships and fellowships
to about &1,600.
The revenues of the university of old were
scanty and inadequate to the encouragement of
high education and learning in Edinburgh; and
the salaries attached to the chairs we have enumerated
are not inferior generally to those in the
other universities of Scotland.
