MY DEAR MR VICE-CHANCELLOR,

I have the honour to address you for the purpose of making an offer to the University, which, if you see no objection, I shall be much obliged to you to submit in such manner as you may think fit for the consideration of the Council and the University.

I find in the Report dated Feb. 27, 1869, of the Physical Science Syndicate, recommending the establishment of a Professor and Demonstrator of Experimental Physics, that the buildings and apparatus required for this department of Science are estimated to cost £6300.

I am desirous to assist the University in carrying this recommendation into effect, and shall accordingly be prepared to provide the funds required for the building and apparatus, so 17

soon as the University shall have in other respects completed
its arrangements for teaching Experimental Physics, and shall
have approved the plan of the building.

I remain,

My Dear Mr Vice-Chancellor,

Yours very faithfully,
DEVONSHIRE.

Chancellor's approval,

and further benefaction.

Attendant.

The Rev. the Vice-Chancellor.

That the Report (dated Nov. 18, 1871) of the Syndicate appointed March 2, 1871, "to consider the question of an appropriate site of a building for the department of Experimental Physics, to take professional advice on the subject, and to obtain plans and estimates,” be confirmed.

After a description of the site and plans, the Report proceeds:

Mr Mortlock has most liberally allowed lights to be obtained on the North side for some of the rooms, by means of certain windows opening upon his grounds and shewn in the Architect's plans.

The plans have been submitted to the Chancellor and approved by him; and although Mr Fawcett's estimate for the building is greater than the amount contemplated when his Grace's munificent offer was made, the Syndicate have the pleasure to state that he has intimated his wish to present the building complete to the University.

The Syndicate recommend that Mr Fawcett's plans be
approved by the Senate, and that they be authorised to obtain
tenders for the execution of the work.

That the Amended Report of the Cavendish Laboratory Syndicate, dated
Nov. 12, 1873, be confirmed.

The Syndicate think that the Attendant ought to be a person of some experience in handling the kind of apparatus which it is proposed to entrust to him, and also one who can assist in the Laboratory and Lecture-Room, and take charge of all the rooms, apparatus, gas and water-supply, furniture, and fixtures.

They recommend that his Stipend be £70 per annum (to with house, be paid out of the Museums Maintenance Fund) with the use of a house and with an allowance of coals; that he be under the direction of the Professor of Experimental Physics and his time entirely at the Professor's disposal. Also that the appointment of such Attendant be made by the Professor with the consent of the Vice-Chancellor; and that any person so appointed be removable, in like manner, by the Professor, with the consent of the Vice-Chancellor.

Report 24 May 1881. Grace 2 June 1881.

The Museums and Lecture-Rooms Syndicate beg leave to report to the Senate:

The Vice-Chancellor laid before the Syndicate the following letter from Professor Newton, President of the Cambridge Philosophical Society:

CAMBRIDGE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY,

Dear Mr VICE-CHANCELLOR,

9 May, 1881.

In accordance with a resolution of the Council of this Society, I hereby offer to the University the use of the Society's Library on the conditions contained in the accompanying Report' of the Society's Council, dated 25 April, 1881, which was confirmed at a Special General Meeting of the Society held this day.

I remain, dear Mr Vice-Chancellor, yours very truly,

ALFRED NEWTON.

(President of the Philosophical Society).

The Syndicate are of opinion that it will be of great advantage to both teachers and students of Natural Sciences that they should have access to a central library in the way suggested.

They are aware that in addition to the annual stipend of a Librarian as mentioned in the Report an initial outlay, which they think need not be large, will be required for bookcases. In consideration of the benefits to be secured, the Syndicate venture to hope that the University will be prepared to defray these expenses out of the University Chest.

1 Appended to the former Report of the Syndicate (Reporter, p. 565)

ed.

The Syndicate therefore recommend that the offer made recommendin the above letter be accepted, it being understood that the authority of the University over the room when required for Proviso. examinations is not thereby interfered with.

The following Regulations I—VII, contained in the Report referred to by Professor Newton, are described in that Report as fundamental Regulations for the Library, see p. 262.

al Regula

I. That no book be taken out of the buildings of the FundamentNew Museums, except by Fellows of the Cambridge Philo- tions. sophical Society; and by them only for a limited time, not exceeding in any case seven days.

II. That every book removed from the Library be entered in a register to be kept for the purpose.

III. That in addition to the Fellows of the Society all Professors, Demonstrators, Teachers recognized by the University, and Curators, together with such persons as the Committee of Management may from time to time decide, be permitted to use the books of the Library within the buildings of the New Museums.

IV. That certain books be marked "Not to be taken out;" provided that books so marked may be taken out by Fellows of the Society during the last hour in any day on which the Library is open; and further, provided that they be brought back during the first two hours that the Library is next open.

V. That it be the duty of the Committee of Management' specified in the Report already referred to, § 7, to decide from time to time which books shall be marked “Not to be taken out;" and to enforce the payment of fines imposed for the breach of any of these rules.

VI. That subject to conditions necessary for the safety of the Library the Fellows of the Philosophical Society have access, so far as is practicable, to the Library, at hours other than those during which it is generally open.
