Extract

1. It is very desirable that the subjects of examination for Mathematical Entrance Scholarships at Cambridge and Oxford should admit of the same course of preparation.

2. In order to allow of a broader syllabus the exercises and riders should be simplified.

3. Questions on elementary bookwork ought not to be entirely omitted.

Restricting bookwork questions to the higher bookwork would encourage the neglect of the more elementary parts, which are of at least equal importance.
