Suggests changes in the regulations of the Prince Consort Prize and the Thirlwall Prize to take into account 'that an increasing number of Advanced Students and candidates for the new PhD degree will present Historical Theses for degrees', which will be of a higher standard that the average Thirlwall or Prince Consort dissertation. Mentions that the matter was brought to his notice by the thesis of Captain H. M. Thurston of Trinity College.
