An Act to provide for the establishment of Colleges of Residence in connection with different religious denominations was passed by the Legislature during the Session of 1854. Ample assistance was offered towards their endowment; and the maintenance of the fundamental principles of the Universitythe association of students without respect of religious creeds, in the cultivation of secular knowledge-is secured consistently with the most perfect independence of the College authorities within their own walls. Colleges in connection with the Church of England, and the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian Churches, have been established. A College for Women has also been established on a non-sectarian basis. The Colleges have all been erected on the University grounds.

The University (Amendment) Act of 1912 makes provision for the allotment of Exhibitions by the Senate to students desirous of entering the University. Such Exhibitions are granted on the results of the Leaving Certificate Examinations held in pursuance of the Public Instruction Act of 1880 and Amending Acts, and exempt the holders from payment of Matriculation, Tuition and Degree Fees. They are tenable in all Faculties and Departments. The number awarded yearly is

at the rate of one for every five hundred persons in the State of New South Wales between the ages of seventeen and twenty years, as shown by the last preceding Census of the Commonwealth of Australia. The Exhibitions are granted irrespective of sex, and are held subject to the by-laws of the Senate, which determines the annual number to be allotted to each Faculty or Department.
