З. Examinations in Honours History subjects taken by students in the Honour School of History will be conducted at the end of the students' First, Second and Fourth Years. Normally there will be no examination in such subjects at the end of the students' Third Year.
There will be no formal examination in connection with the seminar in Third Year on Methods of Historical Research, although the seminar is compulsory and there may be class tests. Examinations in Pass subjects will be annual.
The examination in history at the end of the Fourth Year will be a Final

Examination. The components of the fourth-year examination will be papers in each of the Honours History subjects taken in Third Year, in the Special Study and in Theory and Method of History, together with a 9,000-word Thesis on an approved subject. The result of the better of the two Honours History papers written in the Second Year will also be incorporated into the general result of the Final Examina- - tion.
4. The field of the Final Honours Thesis must be selected during the Third Year, and suficient bibliographical work to enable clear definition of the limits of its subject must have been completed before the end of the Third Term of the Third Year. Members of the academic staff of the Department of History will be available for consultation about theses at times which will be announced. Substantial work on the Thesis must be done during-the Long Vacation between the Third and Fourth - Years. Supervisors of theses will require evidence of such work at the beginning of the Fourth Year. The completed Thesis is to be submitted at the beginning of the Second Term of the Fourth Year.
In cases in which the subject of the Final Honours Thesis is intimately connected with the Fourth-Year S ecial Study, certain variations in this pattern may be per- mitted, on the advice of the supervisor concerned, to allow for the spending of the Long Vacation on general reading in the field of the Special Study and a later concentration of work on the Thesis.
Failure to submit the Final Honours Thesis by the required date may dis- qualify a student from proceeding to the Final Examination.
Comments:
(a) Except with the permission of the Faculty, no candidate for honours in the School of History may sit for examination without completing, by the set dates, the written work prescribed and attending all tutorial classes in the subjects taken in the
Honours School of History.
(b)` Students who have completed their First Year must be approved by the Faculty of Arts as candidates for the degree with honours before entering the Second Year of the Honour School. The Department of History will normally recommend such approval for candidates who have gained first or second- class honours in TWO of Ancient History, European History A and British History. Candidates who have failed to gain first or second class honours in these subjects, but who wish to continue in the Honours School, should consult with the Professor-in-Charge, who will be guided in his recommendation by the merits of the case.
A student who has not attempted honours in these First-Year subjects, but who, at the end of his First Year wishes to enter the Honours School, must make special application to the Faculty through the Sub-Dean for permission to do so. If such permission is granted, the Faculty will prescribe what further work must be completed before the student is allowed to proceed.
(c) Students who fail to gain first or second class honours in their examinations in history at the end of their Second Year will usually be advised by the Department of History not to proceed to the Third Year of the Honours School, but rather to complete a course for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Ordinary degree.
(d) The Third and Fourth Years of the Honours School are regarded as forming a continuous whole. Candidates who, during their Third Year, have made satisfactory progress in the history subjects of this year, will be admitted to the Fourth Year of the School without formal examination in these subjects. Candidates whose progress in these subjects during the first two terms is not for this purpose considered satisfactory will be notified during the third term that they must sit for a special examination at the end of the third year. Unsatisfactory attendance at honours tutorial classes will for this purpose be regarded as evidence of unsatisfactory progress.
(e) Students who are unable to proceed to the Fourth Year but who satisfy the examiners at a special examination at the end of their Third Year may, with the ap- proval of the Faculy, be admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Ordinary degree.
Enquiries concerning such special examinations should normally be made before the end of the September of the year concerned.
(f) Students may be advised to attend additional lecture courses which are regarded as relevant to their work.
(g) The following course has been approved for students who intend to com- bine the School of History with a Law Course.
