Tutors, to two (or at most three) Assistant Tutors, to five Professors, and (at the pleasure of the College) to a Chaplain and Divinity Lecturer. The appointment of a Tutor or of an Assistant Tutor rests with the President, subject to the approval of the College.

A Tutor is in the first instance appointed for two years only (unless he has already served the College as Assistant Tutor or Lecturer, in which case he may be at once appointed for ten years); he may be re-appointed for varying periods, but may not hold office for more than thirty-two years in all. He receives (1) £200 a year as an Official Fellow, (2) £150 a year from the Corporate Revenue, (3) a further sum, to be fixed when he is appointed and to be paid out of the Tuition Fund; this sum may be increased, but may not exceed £450 a year.

An Assistant Tutor is appointed for any period not exceeding seven years, and may be re-appointed for successive periods not exceeding seven years. He receives £200 a year out of the Corporate Revenue, which may be increased annually by not more than £50, to be paid, half out of the Tuition Fund, half out of the Corporate Revenue; but the stipend is never to exceed £400 a year.

So long as there are resident in College three unmarried persons charged with the maintenance of discipline, of whom one must be a Tutor or Assistant Tutor, an Official Fellow, who has held his Fellowship for seven years and has obtained leave to reside elsewhere than in College, may marry and yet retain his Fellowship: moreover, if by marriage within seven years after election he vacate his Fellowship, he may, subject to the same conditions, be elected to fill the vacancy so created.

A Tutor or Assistant Tutor is not entitled to a pension; but after twenty years' service a pension may be awarded, years of service as Assistant Tutor counting for half the same number of years as full Tutor.

The following five Professors are by virtue of their office Official Fellows: The Professors of Latin; of Jurisprudence; of Comparative Philology; of Moral Philosophy; of the Romance or Neo-Latin Languages and Literature.

If there be no Fellow duly qualified and willing to accept the office of Chaplain and Divinity Lecturer, a Graduate of Oxford

in Holy Orders is to be appointed to that office with a reasonable stipend, and, when so appointed, may be elected an Official Fellow.
