The regulations for the English Tripos (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 290) have been amended as set out below. The purpose of these amendments is to clarify the arrangements under which certain papers of Part I are available to candidates for Part II. The regulations have been amended, with effect from 1 October 1999, as follows:

Regulation 18.

By adding at the end of the list of papers the following:

Paper 29. English literature and its background, 1300-1550 (Paper 1 of Part I of the English Tripos).
Paper 30. English literature and its background, 1550-1700 (Paper 2 of Part I of the English Tripos).
Paper 31. English literature and its background, 1700-1830 (Paper 3 of Part I of the English Tripos).
Paper 32. English literature and its background, since 1830 (Paper 4 of Part I of the English Tripos).
Paper 33. Shakespeare (Paper 5 of Part I of the English Tripos).

Regulation 19.

By amending proviso (vi) so as to read:

(vi) every candidate who has not previously obtained honours in Part I of the English Tripos shall offer either at least one paper from among Papers 3-7 or, subject to the approval of the Faculty Board, and in substitution for one such paper, one paper from among Papers 29-33, except that a candidate who offers a special subject which is a Shakespearian subject announced by the Faculty Board for Paper 7 shall not also offer Paper 33. An application for leave to offer one of Papers 29-33 shall be sent to the Secretary of the Faculty Board so as to arrive not later than the division of the Michaelmas Term next preceding the examination and shall state the scheme of papers that the candidate proposes to offer, together with the topic of the dissertation required under sub-paragraph (a) above and of any dissertation offered under sub-paragraph (c) above. In determining whether to approve such an application the Faculty Board shall take into consideration both the overall balance of the proposed scheme and the potential overlap between the papers to be offered under it. After the Faculty Board have approved such a candidate's proposed scheme, no change may be made in the scheme without the further approval of the Faculty Board.
