Abstract
CHANGES of no little importance for archæological studies are announced in the examination arrangements of the University of London. In and after 1939 no examination for the degree of B.A. in honours in archæology will be held ; but archæological subjects will be added as optional or special subjects in the B.A. honours examination in classics, Greek, Latin, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Indo-Aryan, Persian and history. Further, the subject of “Prehistory of Western Europe” is added to the list of subjects which may be taken at the B.A. (General) examination. In view of the very marked progress and development in method of prehistoric studies relating to western Europe in recent years the inclusion of this subject in the general arts curriculum is especially noteworthy, marking anadvance in status among academic studies. Similarly at Oxford, by a decreeof Congregation, geography and anthropology jointly have been elevatedto the dignity of a 'faculty'.
