The Sir Archibald Strong Memorial Prize for Literature

Misses Ruth and Alfreda Bedford, having given £500 on behalf of their sister Sylvia Bedford, to provide for an annual prize for literary work in memory of Sir Archibald Strong, formerly Jury Professor of English Language and Literature, the following rules are hereby made:

There shall be two prizes, both known as "The Sir Archibald Strong Memorial Prize for Literature".
The value of each prize shall be $400, unless otherwise determined by the Faculty.
The prize shall be awarded to the two students who have attained the highest results in level II English courses (other than Australian literature courses).
If in any particular year, the examiners consider that no candidate is suitable for the prize, then no award shall be made.
These rules may be varied from time to time by the Faculty but the title and purpose shall not be changed.
