Honors Students in the Upper Division.—In the restricted junior or the restricted senior course (group II) students who are candidates for honors in English may arrange with the instructor for additional credit, the amount of which (one to three units) will be determined by the instructor after he has outlined with the students the additional work to be done. The assignment, which should be entered on the student's study-card as English 199, will involve no additional class exercises, but occasional conferences with the instructor. Honors Students in the Senior Year.-Any student who completes not less than nine units of upper division English in the junior year with an average grade of not less than B may apply for admission to one of the honors preceptorial groups, which will be organized for 1926-27.
