The lecturer will not necessarily
undertake to cover the entire field in each subject, or

advise the class as to its reading and will assume that
each student will read on the lines advised, in advance
of each lecture, on the subject matter of the lecture.
The aim of lectures will be to guide students in
their work and to illustrate, explain and supplement
their reading.
A written examination will be held at the end of
each term’s lectures.
Courses B and C may be attended in the same year,
but Course A must be completed before either Course
B or C is commenced. An apprentice who had on
the xst October, 1948, already attended and obtained
credit for the Society’s Junior and Senior Lectures is
eligible for Course C lectures, but is not obliged to
attend them. Every other apprentice is obliged to
take Courses A , B, and C, but will be allowed credit
for lectures already attended.
