Energy Bonus Prize (Rule 39)
In 1982 the University Council agreed that money saved by departments through its energy conservation program should be passed to the departments. The departments then located in the Humanities wing of the Arts, Economics and Commerce Building saved energy to the value of $759, and the heads of those departments recommended that the sum be used to endow an annual prize. The Council of the University agreed to the foundation of a prize, and the revised terms of that prize are set out in these rules.
Rules
- The amount of $759, together with any interest from time to time, forms the endowment of a prize to be called the Energy Bonus Prize.
- The prize will be awarded annually by the schools of Asian Languages and Studies; History and Classics; English, Journalism and European Languages; and Philosophy.
- The prize will be awarded annually in rotation to students in these categories:
- the student who has given the best overall performance in 3rd year French, German, Indonesian, Chinese or Japanese units;
- the student who has shown the greatest proficiency in History 1;
- the student who has shown the best performance in Classics units comprising 37.5% at 200 level;
- the student who has shown the greatest proficiency in English 1;
- the student who has shown the greatest proficiency in Philosophy 1, provided that the student has not completed a degree from an approved tertiary institution and has not been awarded the Alfred Houston Junior Prize.
- The prize is to be awarded to a student who reaches at least Distinction level. If no student in the relevant category for a particular year reaches that level, the prize will not be awarded. In the next year the prize will be offered to a student in the next category by rotation.
- The Scholarships Management Committee will set the annual value of the prize from time to time, having regard to the income from the endowment.
- Any earlier rules for this prize are revoked.
