E. SCHOOL 0F ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
The First Year is regarded as a preliminary year of general study, and students should take, in addition to English, either one Honours and one Pass or three Pass subjects.
Students require the approval of the Faculty of Arts before entering on their second year as candidates for the Degree with Honours. Those will normally be approved who have gained at least Second Class Honours in English Language and Literature Part I. Other candidates who wish to continue in the Honour School should interview the Professor, who will be guided in his recommendation by the merits of the case.
A student who, without attempting Honours, has passed in English Part I anti wishes to enter the Honour School, must apply to the Faculty, through the Sub- Dean, for permission to do so. If permission is given, the Faculty will prescribe what further work he is to do.
All students are required to submit an essay at the beginning of the second term of their fourth year. This essay forms part of the Final Examination. The subject must be approved not later than the end of the second term of the third year. The essay should be from 40 to 60 typewritten, double-spaced, quarto pages in length.
A bibliography of works consulted should be appended.
PURE ENGLISH SCHOOL
1. The course for the Degree with Honours in the School of English Language and Literature comprises the following subjects:
English Language and Literature Part I . English Literature Parts II, III and IV
English Language Parts II, III and IV
in accordance with the details set out below. Candidates must take these seven subjects and at least three approved additional subjects, one of which must be a Language other than English. Two of these additional subjects should be chosen so as to constitute a sub-major.
2. In their First Year, candidates will take English Language and Litera- ture Part I,. and at least two additional subjects, of which one will normally be the language other than English.
In their Second Year, they will take English Literature Part II, English Language Part II, in which subjects they are required to be classed, and the remaining additional subject.
In 'their Third Year, they will submit essays on topics included in the Pass course (English Part III) and will take English Literature Part III and English Language Part III ; and in their Fourth Year, English Literature Part IV and English Language Part IV.
3. The Final Examination will be held in two parts, Part I at the end of the Third Year, Part II at the end of the Fourth Year.
PARТ I
Literary Theory and Criticism or Australian Literature and Social History.
English Drama or Australian Literature and Social History.
Middle English.
Language Study.
Test in Elementary Old Norse.

PART II
(1) English Literature to 1800 (First Paper).
(2) English Literature to 1800 (Second Paper).
(3) 'Essay.
(4) Beowsdj and Old English Texts. .
and any two of the following:
(5) History of the English Ianguage., (6) Old Norse Texts and Civilization.
(7) The Middle English Romance.
ENGLISH IN COMBINED COURSES
(A) English in Combined Honour Courses will normally consist of English Language and Literature Part I, and English Literature Parts II, III and IV.
In their First Year, candidates will take English Language and Literature Part I, and one of their additional subjects. One of these additional subjects must, except in combination with a Language School, be a Language other than English.
In their Second Year, candidates will take English Literature Part II, in which they are required to be classed, and the remaining additional subject.
In their Third Year, they will submit essays on topics included in the Pass course (English Part III) and will take Papers 1, 2 and 6 of Part I of the Final Examination in the School of English Language and Literature.
In their Fourth Year, they will submit an essay and take Papers 1 and 2 of Part II of the Final Examination.
(B) Candidates may take English Language as part of a Combined Honour Course. provided that they give evidence of their ability to do so. The English subjects of the course are then:
English Language and Literature Part I.
English Language Parts II, III and IV.
In their First Year, candidates will take English Language and Literature Part I, and one of the two additional subjects.
In their Second Year, they will take English Language Part II, and the remaining additional subject.
In their Third Year, they will take Paper 3 of Part I of the Final Examinations and a test in Elementary Old Norse.
In their Fourth Year they will submit an essay and take Paper 4 and any two of Papers
