AFFILIATED COLLEGES. TiiJi establishment of Affiliated Colleges is specially provided for in the Act of Incorporation, as will be perceived by a reference to the eighth clause of that measure. The Church of England was the first religious body to avail itself of the right thus accorded. The Anglican foundation bears the name of TRINITY COLLEGE. In the year 1869 Bishop Perry (then Lord Bishop of Melbourne), assisted by the late Professor Wilson and others, undertook the task of raising the funds required for the erection of College buildings. A subscription list •was opened, and early in 1870 the buildings were begun. Shortly afterwards, the Warden's house, which had been temporarily fitted up for the purpose, was opened for the reception of Students. Thus Trinity College was established, and it remained for several years the only University College in Victoria. The present Warden was appointed in 1876. Before the end of 1877 a considerable increase in the accom­ modation required for Students was found to be necessary, and new buildings were raised. Three years later the additional rooms thus provided were occupied, and the erection of another wing was resolved upon. The new structure, which the Council has named " The Clarke Buildings," in grateful recognition of the generous help affiirded to the College by Sir W. J. Clarke and Mr. Joseph Clarke, was occupied by Students in the July Term, 1883. Further additions were made to the buildings in 1887 ; but again in the present year (1888) Students have to be refused admission through lack of room. The existing buildings, in addition to apartments for the Warden, Tutors, and Students, include a Chapel, a Dining Hall, a Chemical Laboratory, a Biological Labora­ tory, Classical and Mathematical Lecture Rooms, a Billiard Room, two Libraries, a Students' Common-room, _ &c. The College is intended to serve as a place of residence and education for University Students, whether belonging to the Schools of Arts, Science, Law, Medicine, or Engineering. 334 TRINITY COLLEGE. Though connected with the Anglican Church, it extends its privileges, without restriction, to members of all religious denominations. The internal arrangements of the College, including hours of meals, &c., are made with special reference to the con­ venience of Students attending University Lectures.

TRINITY COLLEGE. 335 Residence and Commons amount to £59 10s. per annum in the case of a Student not attending the College Lectures. If a Student enters for the maximum amount of College teaching, his total College Fees for Residence, Commons, and Tuition will amount to £78 8s. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided in hall by the College for the above charges ; but for Students who prefer to lunch in their own sitting-rooms, and to order their own luncheon through the college buttery, the fees are considerably reduced, and no charge is made for extra attendance in the rooms. Students need have no extra expenses, except for laundry and for the fuel which they actually consume, which is charged for at cost price. AH bedrooms are furnished by the College, and no charge is made for the use of the furniture therein. Every Student has a separate bedroom. The sitting-rooms are furnished by the College, and a small charge made terminally for the rent of the furniture. But Students, if they prefer to do so, may furnish their sitting-rooms themselves, in which case they are, of course, exempt from the payment of the furniture fee. Lectures are daily delivered in the College with the special object of assisting Students in preparing for Univer­ sity Lectures and Examinations. These Lectures are open to Non-resident as well as to Resident Students, and to the general public, without any religious or other restrictions, and are given at such hours as not to interfere with attend­ ance at University Lectures. Most of the College Lectures are delivered in the early morning and evening, so that those who are engaged in other occupations during the day are thus enabled to prepare themselves for the University Examina­ tions, and 'to proceed to a Degree, attendance at University Lectures not being compulsory, except for Medical Students. Lady students are admitted to all College Lectures. The CHEMICAL LABORATORY of the College is well furnished with all necessary appliances, and Classes for Practical, Medical, and Physiological Chemistry meet frequently during the week. In addition to the Chemical Laboratory, the College also possesses a fully-equipped BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY, where instruction by means of practical demonstrations and dissec­ tions is regularly given in Biology and kindred sciences to Students of the Arts, Medical, and Science Courses in Mel­ bourne University. Students have the use of the microscopes and other instruments without extra payment. 336 TRINITY COLLEGE. The Lecturer (who is a Bachelor of Science of the Univer­ sity of London, and a Natural Science Scholar of the University of Oxford), gives a large amount of individual attention to each Student. Students can, by permission, obtain the use of the Laboratories for private study and research outside lecture hours. A small charge is made each Term for the use of Chemicals. FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS receive assistance in the following subjects, both for Pass and Honours :— Arts and Bngineerir/g. —Junior Greek, Junior Latin, Lower Mathematics, Upper Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Deductive Logic, English Language and Literature, Part L, Natural Philosophy, Part I. Medicine.—Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Practical Chemistry, Biology. Bachelor of Science Course.—Natural Philosophy, Mathe­ matics, Chemistry, Practical Chemistry, Biology. SECOND .VND THIRD-YEAR STUDENTS, whether in Arts, Science, Engineering, or Medicine, receive teaching in all the more important subjects, including Junior and Senior Greek and Latin, French, German, Physiological Chemistry, His­ tology, Materia Medica, &e. In Latin, Greek, French, and German great attention is paid to composition, and in Latin and Greek, in addition to the Lectures in class. Students are taken separately by the Lecturer. The College provides Students with extra private tuition in any subjects in which they may need special assistance. The time-table of Lectures is arranged, as far as possible, to suit the convenience of every Student desiring to take advantage of the College teaching. Students, therefore, who propose to attend ought to communicate as soon as possible With the Warden of the College. The Fee for each course of Lectures is £2 2s. ; for two courses, £4 4s. ; for three or any greater number of courses, £6 6s. COLLEGE TEACHING STAFF. Biology, Chemistry, Materia Medica, &c.—A. H, S.

A Lady-Principal (Miss L. Waltham, late of Girton and Newnham Colleges, Cambridge) presides over it, and undertakes the religious and moral supervision of the Students.
