LOGIC.

REV. PROF. DARLINGTON; PROF. MAGENNIS; REV. DR. MAGILL; PROF. PARK; PROF. WOODBURN.

1. Discuss fully: Any categorical judgment must be false. The subject and the predicate cannot in the end either be the other.'

2. As we are no longer ruled by Mill's Logic, I hope it will not be denied that in inductions a single case examined with sufficient care can establish an universal law. The ideal of this principle of induction is seen in geometrical reasoning.' Discuss this in detail, and explain what Metaphysic of Logic is implied in its acceptance.

3.The ground of our assent to historical testimony is neither a natural instinct, nor an induction, but a rigorous deduction. If so, upon what should this deduction be based?' Examine this critically, noticing some contrary views. What rules have been suggested for the elimination of error in historical evidence?

4. (a) Ens autem et essentia sunt quae primo in intellectu concipiuntur.

(b) Primum actualiter cognitum est species specialissima.

Criticise carefully passage (a) in relation to the view of Scotus in passage (b). Explain clearly how (a) is connected with the general theory of the formation of intellectual knowledge held by Aquinas.

Or,

The two terms of finality are the end and the means, and as strict a connection is assumed to obtain between them as between cause and effect.' What strong objections might be urged against this?
