Synopsis

Excerpt from Natural Science, Vol. 6: A Monthly Rew of Scientific Progress, January-June, 1895

Next we think that it is a great blunder to include under the new proions courses of special study. This is merely to open wide the avenues to an ordinary degree. If a man is coment to earn the distinction of a degree by a special course of study, he is coment to attain the degree in the ordinary way by reading for honours in one of the final schools. If the statute is intended simply to make it possible for men to obtain an equivalent of the degree in honours without going through an undergraduate career in the ordinary fashion, the idea of research should not have been connected with it at all. What the University should have done is sufficiently plain. There is. A certain learned pursuit known as research, and most familiar in the natural sciences, but equally possible in any subject. It demands Special aptitude, the guidance of those who are themselves investigators in its initial stages, at least, and it results in definite additions to our knowledge. If these additions, the results of research, are really additions to knowledge, they should be published. What is wanted is that men who have been taught at Oxford, at any university, or in any shape or form whatever, should be able to come to Oxford and to say: We desire, and think we have the capacity, to pursue original investigation in such and such a subject. It is then for the accredited representatives of the, subject in question to decide whether or no the Offer be plausible. If the candidates are accepted, it is for the University to give them their opportunity. Next for the Boards of Faties to decide after a year, or what time they may deem necessary, whether or no it be worth the candidate's while to pursue his work.
