possessed of any benefice, property, pension or office which would in ordinary cases disqualify him for continuing a Fellow may nevertheless, if he shall then be a Professor or Public Lecturer in the University, be retained in his Fellowship by a majority of the votes of the Warden and all the Fellows qualified to vote in the election of Fellows, or if he shall be Principal of any Hall (not being a private Hall), by two-thirds of the votes of the Warden and all the Fellows qualified as aforesaid: Provided that this power shall be exercised, if at all, at some stated general meeting previous to the day on which the Fellowship would be otherwise vacated.

16. Every Professor, Public Lecturer, or Principal of a Hall elected to or retained in a Fellowship by virtue of either of the foregoing clasues numbered 13 and 15, shall upon ceasing to hold such Professorship, Public Lectureship, or Principalship, vacate his Fellowship.

17. It shall be lawful for the Warden and Fellows qualified as aforesaid, at stated general meetings, to elect distinguished persons to Honorary Fellowships within the College. Persons so elected shall be termed Honorary Fellows, and shall not be entitled to vote on any occasion as Fellows, or to receive any emolument whatever, but shall be entitled to enjoy such other privileges and advantages as the Warden and Fellows shall by resolution from time to time determine. The conditions of eligibility to and tenure of Honorary Fellowships, and the mode of election thereto, may also be determined by the Warden and Fellows from time to time. Honorary Fellows shall not, in the construction of this Ordinance, be counted among the Fellows of the College, nor Honorary Fellowships among the Fellowships of the College. 18. Every Fellow who shall be elected to and

accept a Headship or Fellowship in any other College shall thereupon vacate his Fellowship.

19. No Fellow shall be disqualified for retaining his Fellowship by reason of sickness or infirmity. 20. The provisions respecting the residence of Fellows, and the mode of granting leave of absence from the University, contained in the existing Statutes shall be henceforth void. The Warden and Fellows shall at the first stated general meeting, or as soon afterwards as conveniently may be, make such regulations respecting the residence of Fellows within the University, and respecting the mode in which, and the conditions under which, leave of absence may be granted to any Fellow, as they may deem expedient for the interests of the College as a place of learning and education, and may vary such regulations from time to time, and may enforce such regulations, if they shall think fit, by pecuniary penalties, and in case of contumacious non-compliance, by deprivation.

regulations shall be made and varied at stated general meetings only. In the meantime and until such regulations can be made, the Warden and Fellows may at any ordinary meeting or meetings make provisional regulations for the same purposes, which shall be binding on the members of the College.

21. It shall be lawful for the Warden and Fellows to suspend indefinitely, or for such periods as they may think proper, the election to the first and eleventh Fellowships which shall become vacant after the approval of this Ordinance, and to apply the emoluments of the Fellowships or Fellowship so suspended to the augmentation of the number or of the stipends or aliowances of the Postmasters, Scholars, and Exhibitioners within the College, or to the maintenance or endowment of Lectureships within the College, or partly to some and partly to

others of those objects, in such manner and proportions as the Warden and Fellows shall from time to time determine.

22. The third, fifth, seventh, and ninth Fellowships which shall become vacant after the approval of this Ordinance shall not be filled up, and the emoluments thereof, to an amount not exceeding Eight hundred pounds per annum, shall be applied to the maintenance of a Professorship of Physiology, to be called the "Linacre Professorship of Physiology," which shall be established within the University under the provisions of an Ordinance or Ordinances hereafter to be made by us the said Commissioners, or other the Commissioners, exercising the powers of the said Act, or, in default thereof, by a Statute or Statutes of the University, which Statute or Statutes shall be subject to the consent of the Warden and Fellows. If the aggregate emoluments of those four Fellowships shall in any year exceed Eight hundred pounds, the surplus beyond that sum shall fall into and be part of the general revenues of the College.

23. For the purposes of this Ordinance any Fellowship or Fellowships which may be vacant when this Ordinance shall be approved by Her Majesty in Council shall be considered as having become vacant immediately after such approval.

24. The emoluments of the Fellowships which the Warden and Fellows are hereby empowered or directed not to fill up shall be the sums which would in each year have been payable to the holders of the same Fellowships, if the same had been filled up, and if the persons elected had resided in the University during the period required of them by the Statutes or Regulations of the College in force for the time being.

25. The number of Fellowships within the College shall never be less than eighteen (exclusive of Fellowships which the Warden and Fellows are

hereby directed or empowered not to fill up), unless the Visitor shall think fit, on a petition in writing subscribed by the Warden and not less than threefourths of the Fellows of the College, to direct that the number shall be diminished, either permanently or during any limited period, by not filling up vacancies, for the purpose either of increasing the emoluments of the Warden and Fellows, if the same shall appear to be insufficient, or of augmenting the number or emoluments of the Postmasters, Scholars, or Exhibitioners, or of improving the property of the College, or in order to apply the surplus income to be obtained by such diminution to any purpose specified in the petition, and directly expedient for the interests of the College as a place of religion, learning, and education. The Warden and Fellows shall not be bound by virtue of anything in the existing Statutes to augment the number of Fellowships above eighteen; but they shall, if and as soon as the increased revenues of the College will conveniently permit, raise it to twenty-four at least; and no Fellow hereafter to be elected shall receive more than Two hundred and fifty pounds a year in respect of his Fellowship (exclusive of rooms, or any allowance in respect thereof, but inclusive of all other allowances), so long as the number shall be less than twenty-four. This direction, however, shall be without prejudice to the power of the Warden and Fellows to apply any part of such increased revenues to other College purposes.

26. The Warden and Fellows shall once at least in every ten years lay before the Visitor a statement in writing of the annual revenue and expenditure of the College for the preceding ten years, or for the time which shall have elapsed since the date of the last statement (as the case may be), and shall also furnish to the Visitor such additional information (if any) as he shall require for enabling

him to form a judgment of the means and requirements and general state and condition of the College. And it shall be lawful for the Visitor thereupon, if it shall appear to him that the revevenues of the College are sufficient to afford to each Fellow an average income of more than Three hundred pounds a year, (exclusive of rooms or any allowance in respect thereof, but inclusive of all other allowances,) to direct either that the number of Fellowships shall be increased above twentyfour, or that any part of such revenues shall be applied in increasing the number or emoluments of the Postmasterships, Scholarships, or Exhibitions within the College, or shall be set apart for general College purposes; and any sums which shall be so set apart shall be applied to such College purposes as the Warden and Fellows, with the approbation of the Visitor, shall determine.

27. In elections to the Postmasterships of the foundation of John Wyllyot, the Scholarships of the foundation of Henry Jackson, and the Exhibitions of the foundation of Edmund Arnold, no person shall be either entitled to preference or ineligible on account of his place of birth or place of education, or by reason of his being or not being of the kindred of any person named in any Statute, Will, Deed, or other instrument of foundation.

28. The Postmasters, Scholars, and Exhibitioners of the said foundations shall be elected by the Warden and such of the Fellows as shall be Tutors or Lecturers of the College, after an examination of the candidates in such subjects, and conducted in such manner, as the Warden and Fellows shall determine; and that candidate (being otherwise duly qualified according to the Statutes of the College in force for the time being and the instruments of foundation of the said Postmasterships, Scholarships, and Exhibitions respectively,) shall be elected, who, after such examination, shall
