limited amount of lecturing to do, are appointed for 1 year at a

As already mentioned, the leaving examination at a
gymnasium, examen artium, entitles the successful candidate to enter his
name as a student at the University. The instruction there is
free. Fees are only paid for permission to enter for the various
examinations (from 20 to 40 kr.). Before the students can go up
for any of the University degree examinations, they must have
passed a preparatory examination, called «examen philosophicum».
In this examination, philosophy is a compulsory subject; the 5
others may be chosen by the candidate (science, languages, history,
mathematics, etc.). The time of preparation for the examen
philosophicum is 2 or 3 terms.
The average time required to work up for the various
examinations is: 9 terms for theology, 8 for law, 14 for medicine, 10
for philology, and 10 for «real» students [1].
In 1899, the number of students in the various branches of
study was as follows: theology 70, law 270, medicine 330, philology
45, «real» students 40, mining students 3, students for the examen
philosophicum about 600, total about 1360.
Since 1882, 260 female students have matriculated at the
University, 53 of them having passed the Latin artium, and 207
the Real artium. Twenty-four women have gone up for
examinations at the University, 16 of them having taken medicine.
The expenses of the University for the finance-year
1900—1901 were put down at kr. 713,025. Of this amount. 600,000
were defrayed by government moneys, the remainder by the funds,
etc. of the University.
There are various collections, laboratories and scientific
institutions connected with the University, among them being the
University Library (about 350,000 volumes), which is also the
National Library, and whose reading-room is open to any one for
7 hours daily; the Botanical Gardens, the Historical Museum, the
Astronomical and Magnetic Observatory, the Meteorological
Institute, and the Biological Marine Station at Drøbak.
