Abstract
OXFORD.—Applications are invited for the new Wykeham professorship of physics, referred to in a note on May 24 (p. 91). The election will take place in November, and applications must reach the Registrar not later than October 24. The following particulars are given in the University Gazette:—The subjects on which the professor will chiefly lecture and give instruction will be electricity and magnetism. The professor will have the charge of any laboratory which the University may assign to him. It is expected that rooms, now otherwise occupied, will be assigned to the professor for a laboratory in the course of the year 1901; 700l. will be appropriated to fitting up the laboratory, and provision has been made for spending 250l. a year for the first two years on assistance and maintenance. As soon as the professor is elected, he will be entitled to be admitted to a Fellowship at New College of the annual value of 200l. In addition, from January 1, 1901, he will receive from New College (1) an annual payment of 200l.; and (2) a further annual payment of 100l. so long as the College has funds available for the purpose. It is anticipated that this further payment will be paid for not less than twelve or thirteen years.
