The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is awarded on the basis of the submission of a thesis. The thesis, which may include a nominated creative component, should give evidence of the candidate’s ability to carry out research, that the candidate has shown originality and independence, and that the candidate has made a significant contribution to the advancement of their particular field. The research should be of a kind which a diligent and competent student might reasonably be expected to complete within three years of full-time study. 1 Admission (a) Admission to the degree programme shall be subject to the approval of the Senate. Note: Applications may be made at any time. Applications must be approved before the candidate begins the research work. (b) Every candidate must be a university graduate and produce evidence of ability to undertake research in the area of proposed study. Such evidence shall include: (i) a bachelor’s degree with first or upper second class honours (with an average grade in honours papers at or equivalent to at least B+ at the University of Otago) or equivalent (including a research component with an average grade at or equivalent to at least B+ at the University of Otago); or (ii) a master’s degree (with an average grade at or equivalent to at least B+ at the University of Otago) (including an appropriate research component worth at least a quarter of a year’s workload (0.25 EFTS), with a grade at or equivalent to at least B+ at the University of Otago); or (iii) appropriate research experience; and (iv) for candidates including a nominated creative component for assessment, demonstrated advanced training or experience in a relevant creative practice. (c) A candidate for a master’s degree may apply to transfer to candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and may have the date of admission backdated as is considered appropriate. (d) Initial admission to the degree programme shall normally be provisional, and shall be confirmed on receipt of a supervisory agreement and a satisfactory progress report after no less than six months and no more than 12 months of full- or part-time study. Interdivisional (e) If admission to the degree programme is not confirmed, then either provisional admission may be extended for one period of up to six months or the candidate shall be required to withdraw or to enrol for another degree. If admission is not confirmed after a period of extension, the candidate shall be required to withdraw or to enrol for another degree. (f) Notwithstanding regulation 1(b) above, a Medical student who has completed a year of study for the degree of Bachelor of Medical Science with Honours but has not been awarded that degree may be accepted as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and have the date of admission backdated as is considered appropriate. Such a student’s programme of study must be approved by both the Board of the Faculty of Medicine and the Graduate Research Committee. 194 Programme Regulations: PhD 2 Full-time and Part-time Study (a) A candidate may apply for admission on a full-time or part-time basis, but may, with approval, change that status for any semester as long as that semester lies within the current or next calendar year. (b) Holders of Divisional Teaching Assistantships shall be deemed to be full-time candidates, and Assistant Research Fellows may also be so deemed. Notes: (i) A full-time candidate shall count as 1 Equivalent Full-time Student (EFTS) per annum (also see Note (iii) below). (ii) A part-time candidate shall count as 0.5 EFTS per annum. (iii) The University expects that full-time candidates will devote the majority of their working time to their studies. It is not recommended that full-time candidates accept employment for more than ten hours per week on average over a period of twelve months. When progress is significantly hampered by work exceeding this recommendation, the candidate may be required to reduce work commitments or change to part-time enrolment. 3 Additional Papers In certain cases a candidate may be required or allowed to take one or more prescribed papers in addition to the programme. No candidate may take any other paper or course additional to the programme without first obtaining the approval of the Senate, which must be satisfied that taking any such paper or course will not materially delay the completion of the candidate’s research. 4 Duration of the Programme (a) A candidate shall pursue a course of study and research under supervision for a period normally equivalent to 3 full-time years. (b) The minimum period of study shall be equivalent to 3 full-time years and the maximum period shall be equivalent to 4 full-time years. Exceptions shall be permitted only with approval of the Senate. (c) No programme shall exceed the equivalent of six years of full-time study from the date of first admission (d) A candidate shall be enrolled continuously for the entire period of the candidacy, up to the submission of the thesis, except that a candidate may apply to the Senate for permission to withdraw temporarily from study. 5 Location of Study and Research (a) Candidates are normally expected to be resident and studying in New Zealand while Interdivisional enrolled for the degree. Exceptions shall be permitted only with approval of the Senate. (b) Candidates proposing to study overseas may be approved to do so on a case by case basis by the Senate. Normally such study must be deemed necessary for the candidate’s research. While overseas, the candidate must continue to be enrolled at the University. 6 Supervisors (a) The Senate shall, on the recommendation of the relevant Head of Department, appoint at least two supervisors (who may be supported by a departmental advisory panel), or one supervisor supported by a departmental advisory panel of two or more members, to oversee the work of the candidate. (b) One of the supervisors must be an appropriately qualified member of the academic staff of the University. (c) In the case of a dispute between a candidate and a supervisor, the Senate shall have discretion to replace that supervisor.

(b) Once confirmation has been granted, progress reports signed by the candidate, supervisors, Head of Department and relevant Pro-Vice-Chancellor or nominee shall be submitted annually. (c) If an unsatisfactory report is received, the Senate may, after appropriate consultation, terminate the candidacy. 8 Submission of the Thesis (a) Four copies of the thesis embodying the results of the research shall be submitted for examination, in accordance with the regulations governing Presentation of Theses (section 14 in the Examination and Assessment Regulations). (b) Theses may not exceed 100,000 words of text, excluding appendices, footnotes and bibliographies, or, for candidates including a nominated creative component, 60,000 words of text excluding the nominated creative component. (c) A nominated creative component may include live performance such as theatre, dance and music; visual art and craft; creative writing; indigenous traditional practice; media production; creative on-line content; or other forms appropriate to the discipline, and should be presented for examination in one or more of the following formats: (i) as printed material integrated into the bound thesis; (ii) as a digital recording in a portable format; (iii) as a live performance or exhibition, in which case this should be documented and included in the thesis.

Printed in the United Staffs ttj America THIS VOLUME IS GRATEFULLY INSCRIBED TO MY WIFE ANNE CRAWFORD FLEXNER AND MY ELDEST BROTHER DR. J, A. FLEXNER CONTENTS PAGE PREFACE vii PART I : THE IDEA OF A MODERN UNIVERSITY 3 PART II : AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES 39 PART III: ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES * 221 PART IV: GERMAN UNIVERSITIES .... 305 PREFACE volume is an expansion of three lectures on THISUniversities given at Oxford in May 1928 on the invitation of the Rhodes Trust. The invitation stipu- lates that the lecturer reside at Oxford during the en- tire term in which the lectures are given a provision that may be unreservedly commended, first, because the lecturer is thus enabled to feel something of Ox- ford's charm, secondly, because quite unconsciously he gains rather more than he is likely to impart. This is true of one Rhodes lecturer, at least. From the autumn of 1928 to the summer of 1929, I visited the universities of Germany and England for the purpose of obtaining a fresh view of their situa- tion, problems, and efforts. The whole of the next year, 1929-1930, was devoted to gathering additional data and to rewriting. In May 1930 the Oxford Uni- versity Press printed and bound the original proof sheets in page form, and I was thus enabled to submit the text to about thirty men, professors and adminis- trators in America and Europe, who read it with care and commented on it freely and helpfully.

  • Award of Honorary Degree of Doctor of Commerce
    AWARD OF HONORARY DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF COMMERCE PROFESSOR GEOFFREY COLIN HARCOURT AO Professor Geoffrey Harcourt was born in Melbourne in 1931. He entered the University of Melbourne in 1951 as a resident of Queen's College. He graduated Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) in 1954 and Master of Commerce in 1956. The title of his Master's thesis was a "Pilot Survey of Savings in Melbourne" which 'admirably indicates his then youthful interest in Keynes, applied issues and his own city'. In 1955 he journeyed to Cambridge, beginning a lifelong emotional and intellectual attachment to that seat of learning. By his own admission he is an 'Australian patriot and a Cambridge economist'. His Cambridge PhD was followed in 1988 by a Doctor of Letters. He returned to Australia in 1958 to take up a Lectureship at the University of Adelaide. He was appointed to a Personal Chair at Adelaide in 1967. In 1982 he accepted a Fellowship at Jesus College, Cambridge, and a university lectureship in Economics. He formally resigned from his Adelaide position in 1985. He was appointed to an ad hominem Readership in the History of Economic Theory at Cambridge in 1990. Geoffrey Harcourt is one of the few Australian economists whose writings have been absorbed by the leading economists of his generation. He has always been a Keynesian economist in the broadest sense but his work also reflects classical and Marxian themes. Arguably his greatest scholarly contribution lies in synthesizing states of debates in economic theory, especially capital theory. He has made important contributions to Post-Keynesian Theory and has produced intellectual biographies of a number of leading economists 'with the specific intention to raise the humanity and vitality of economics'.
