PREFACE.

THIS CALENDAR is the only authorised Academical Record of general information respecting the University and Colleges of St Andrews. It is published annually, with the necessary alterations, as soon as possible after the close of the Winter Session.

The following is a list of the subjects at present taught, arranged according to the Faculties in which they qualify for Graduation :
