SVEA ENGLISH TREATISES.
SWEDISH DOCTORAL TREATISES
ARRANGED FOR BRITISH PUBLICATION
BY
C. S. FEARENSIDE, M.A. OXON.,
_Lector in English at Lund University_.
The academical degree of doctor brings with it so many practical
advantages in Sweden that it is widely sought by the more gifted and
ambitious students of Swedish Universities and University Colleges.
The coveted prize is no less difficult than desirable. The essential
condition for its attainment is the publication of an adequate work of
original research, which shall form the coping-stone of the writer’s
academical career. This original treatise cannot be undertaken until the
aspirant has gone through a far more prolonged and systematic course of
academical study than is required at most British Universities; while
in the making, it undergoes much criticism, both formal and informal,
both from the writer’s fellow-students and from the Professor with
whose sanction it is essayed; and, lastly, it is subjected to a severe
final examination on the day when the author publicly defends his work
against the opponents chosen or approved by the appropriate Faculty of
the University. Owing to the severe training and rigid scrutiny exacted,
a large proportion of Swedish doctoral treatises attain a high standard
of thoroughness; they are not mere scholastic exercises, testing and
training the investigator for serious work in the future, but rather
accumulations of valuable material, handled in a manner which is at once
original, careful, systematic, illuminating and interesting.
