Abstract
THE Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, has forwarded to the Vice-Chancellor certain statutes made by the College affecting the University, and in doing so intimates that the Colleges consider that the provisions of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act, 1877, do not bind them to postpone their final adoption until one month after they have been communicated to the Council of the Senate. The statutes have reference to, among others, the Trinity Professorship of Physiology. They provide that any person hereafter elected to the Professorship shall be entitled to a Fellowship at Trinity unless he is Master or Fellow of some other College. The Trinity Professor of Physiology is to receive an annual stipend of 500l., in addition to the emoluments of a Fellowship. The new statutes also provide that there shall be paid by the College to the University an annual sum calculated upon the amount of the distributable income of the College, which is particularly defined. Such annual sums to commence from the time the statutes come into operation, and shall be in the first instance equal to 5 per cent, of the distributable income, to be increased to 7½ per cent, when the statutes have been ten years in operation, and to 10 per cent, when they have been fifteen years in operation. The provisions of these statutes with respect to the Trinity Professorship of Physiology shall take effect from and after the appointment of the first Trinity Professor of Physiology, under the provisions of a statute or statutes to be made with the consent of the College for the establishment of the said professorship.
