Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—A Grace passed the Senate on February 10 approving the establishment of the new research degrees, Master of Letters and Master of Science. The object of these is to encourage students to remain in residence for one or two years after they have completed their work for the Tripos, and engage in research under competent direction. These new degrees are mainly intended for Cambridge graduates, but they will be open to properly accredited students from other universities. The proposal to establish new research degrees has been under careful consideration by the University throughout the greater part of the duration of the war. A suggestion that a doctorate should be awarded to research students of the standing in question was reiected on the ground that the degrees of Litt.D. and Sc.D. were already in existence and demanded a much higher standard of attainments.
