Hugh Owen Memorial Prizes * [F1683]

An asterisk (*) indicates that this prize is governed by conditions. See also general conditions.

Friends, students and colleagues of the late Dr Hugh Owen, a former lecturer in the then Department of History, having provided a sum of $2000 for prizes in his memory to be known as Hugh Owen Memorial Prizes, a fund is established for the purpose. The prizes are awarded in accordance with the following conditions.

1.(1) The annual income of the fund after capitalisation, in accordance with Senate policy, is applied each year as follows:

(a) half for a prize to the student who, in the opinion of the Head of the School of Humanities, is the best student in any Level 2 history unit; and

(b) half for a prize to the student who, in the opinion of the Head of the School of Humanities, is the best student in any Level 3 history unit.

2. The best student is normally the student who has gained the highest numerical mark but where that student's mark is not five per cent clear of the next student's, then all students with numerical marks within five per cent of the highest mark are invited to nominate a major piece of assessment of not less than 2000 words for consideration by the Chair of the History Discipline Group, or nominee, and the student submitting the piece of assessment ranked highest by the Chair, or nominee, is awarded the prize.
