I. SCHOOL OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
1. The course for the Degree with Honours in the School of Russian Language and Literature comprises the following subjects:
Russian Part I, Language and Literature Russian Part II, Language and Literature Russian Part III, Language
Russian Part III, Literature Russian Part IV, Language Russian Part IV, Literature.
A candidate in this school must take these six subjects and three additional subjects, of which one at least should be selected from French Part I, German Part I, English Part I, and Greek Part I.
The three additional subjects must be approved by the Senior Lecturer in Charge of Russian.
It is recommended that the students should acquire some knowledge of Modern History, in particular Russian history of the XIXth century, and of European Philosophy, especially the French philosophers of the XVIIIth and the German philosophers of the XIXth centuries.
2. In their First Year, candidates in the I-fonour School should take the Honours course in Russian Part I, and two additional Group I subjects or other subjects approved by the Senior Lecturer in Charge of Russian.
Admission to the higher years of the course is conditional upon satisfactory performance in this First Year. and students must be approved by the Faculty of Arts as candidates for the Degree with Honours before entering the Second Year of the Honours School. Normally such approval will be given to can- didates who have gained at least Second Class. Honours in Russian Part I.
Other candidates who wish to continue in the Honour School must interview the Senior Lecturer in Charge of Russian, who will be guided in her recommen- dation by the merits of the case.
A student who has completed the First Year of the course for the Ordinary Degree and has passed in Russian Part I, may, with the permission of the Faculty. enter the Honour School. Such a student must make special application to the Faculty, through the Sub-Dean, and, if permission is granted, the Faculty will prescribe what further work must be completed before the student is allowed 'o proceed to the Final Examination.
In their Second Year, candidates will take the Honour Courses in Russian Part II and Modern History, unless some other subject is specially approved by the Head of the Department. There will be no formal examination in Russian at the end of the Year. Examination in the Second Year will be by means of essays set during the Year.
In their Third Year candidates will take the Honour Courses in Russian Part III, Language, and Russian Part III, Literature. A course of two lectures per week in Serbo-Croatian will be available in the Third or Fourth Year to students wishing to take the subject, but the examination will not form part of the Final Examination.
In their Fourth Year, candidates will take the Honour courses in Russian Part IV. Language. and Russian Part .IV, Literature.
3. The Final Examination in the School of Russian Language and Literature will comprise the following papers:
(a) At the end of the Third Year. In addition to the three papers presented for Russian Part III (Pass) at the Annual Examination, one 3-hour paper in each of :
(i) Language : Introduction to the history of the Russian language, and studies in style of the principle nineteenth century authors.
(ii) Literature: Russian literature to mid-nineteenth century, and the prescribed texts.
195
(b) At the end of the Fourth Year. Six 3-hour papers:
(i) Language: 1. Outline history of the Russian language.
2. Advanced translation into Russian.
3. Studies in style of the principal twentieth century authors.
(ii) Literature: 1. Russian literature in the second half of the nineteenth century, with special reference to the works of Dostoyevsky.
2. Russian symbolist poetry.
3. Special study.
