The General Board have, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Classics, approved amendments to the regulations for the Tripos so as to debar candidates who have previously taken the Preliminary Examination to Part Ia of the Classical Tripos from offering the more elementary form of the Latin language paper in Part Ia, and also in Part Ib. Paper 4, ‘Alternative Latin language and texts’ in Part Ia, and Paper 4, ‘Alternative passages for translation from Latin authors’ in Part Ib, may no longer be offered by such candidates.
Part Ia
Regulation 14.
By amending the second sentence of the regulation so as to read:
Paper 2 is intended for candidates who had little or no knowledge of Greek before entry to the University, and Paper 4 is intended for candidates who had little or no knowledge of Latin before doing so and who have not previously taken the Preliminary Examination to Part Ia.
Part Ib
Regulation 18.
By introducing a second sentence to the regulation so as to read:
Paper 2 is intended for candidates who had little or no knowledge of Greek before entry to the University, and Paper 4 is intended for candidates who had little or no knowledge of Latin before doing so and who have not previously taken the Preliminary Examination to Part Ia.
The Faculty Board of Classics are satisfied that no candidate’s preparation for the examination in 2016 will be adversely affected.
A correction has been made to the Notice published on 24 September 2014 (Reporter, 6357, 2014–15, p. 10). The amendment to sub-paragraph (d) of Regulation 16 is confined to the final sentence. The remainder of the regulation remains unchanged.
A correction has been made to the Notice published on 16 July 2014 (Reporter, 6355, 2013–14, p. 731). The revised title approved for this course of study for the M.Phil. Degree should have read ‘European and Comparative Literatures and Cultures’. The programme specification and regulations are otherwise unchanged.
