That these rules shall apply of necessity only to the books which are or shall become the property of the Philosophical Society. The following recommendations are contained in the Report referred to by Professor Newton. The Council of the Philosophical Society recommend: I. That they be authorized by the Society to offer the use of the Library to the University on the following conditions, and to take the necessary steps for that purpose. 1. That the books be deposited in the large room on the ground floor of the central block of the New Museums. 2. That the University undertake to make provision for the necessary fittings in the New Library, and for the services of a fit Librarian for the proper custody of the books and the keeping of a catalogue. 3. That the Society undertake to expend yearly, as heretofore, such sums in the purchase of new works and subscriptions to scientific periodicals, and in binding, as its income will admit-due allowance being made for its other necessary expenses. 4. That the management of the Library be entrusted to a Committee of six persons, one half to be appointed by the Museums and Lecture Rooms Syndicate and one half by the Council of the Philosophical Society. Provided that the fundamental regulations for the Library, marked I.—VII. in the foregoing Report, be not altered except with the consent both of the Society and of the University. Note. Rules for the Philosophical Library were published by the Committee on 1 Nov. 1881; see the Cambridge University Reporter of that date, p. 79. M. Sedgwick Memorial Geological Museum. Report 24 May 1883. Grace 14 June 1883. The Syndicate report as follows: Museum, Since the Syndicate made their last report to the Senate, Geological dated May 31, 1882 (Reporter, June 6, 1882, p. 645), they have further considered the question of the best site for a new Geological Museum. tion with Laboratory. They have reason to believe that among the other re- Combinaquirements of the University in the way of new buildings Chemical that of a new Chemical Laboratory is the one which it is most important to consider concurrently with the Geological Museum. The Syndicate have been informed by the ViceChancellor that it is probable that the site of the Perse Site, Almshouses may be shortly acquired by the University, and have considered the possibility of building both a Geological Museum and a Chemical Laboratory on the Southern portion of the Old Botanic Garden site fronting Downing Street supposing the site to be enlarged by the acquisition of the Almshouses. They are of opinion that sufficient space may be found without disturbing, for the present at least, the buildings now occupied by the departments of Chemistry and Human Anatomy. of building, A building about the same height as the new buildings description of Pembroke may be continued along Downing Street, as far west as the middle of the present central block of the Perse Almshouses, or thereabouts, without interfering with the lights of the buildings on the Perse School Estate. On the portion of the almshouse site which lies to the west of this a lower building could be erected. Chemistry, If the frontage from this point to a point opposite the portion for eastern wall of the lecture-room of Botany and Mechanism with the ground behind it were appropriated to Chemistry, there would be room for such a laboratory as seems to be now required, with fair space for extensions; and by carrying a Geological Museum eastwards from the eastern end of the for Geology. new Chemical Laboratory along the side of Downing Street it seems to be possible to get sufficient space for Geology Memorial. Plans and estimates. New Institutions intermediate between Hostels, without interfering with any existing buildings. If an ultimate further extension of the Geological Museum be found necessary it might be returned in the direction of the Museum of Comparative Anatomy or continued along the Downing Street front if it is ultimately determined to erect the permanent buildings for the Medical School on another site. They therefore recommend: That the Syndicate be authorised to obtain plans and estimates for a Geological Museum and a Chemical Laboratory on the proposed site, care being taken that the Geological Museum which is to form the Sedgwick Memorial be a distinct and conspicuous feature of the buildings. NEW INSTITUTIONS FOR ACADEMICAL EDUCATION. Report 22 May 1882. Grace 1 June 1882. The Council of the Senate have reason to believe that applications will shortly be made on behalf of Students. residing in new Institutions for Academical Education for their recognition as Members of the University in virtue of such residence. They think it desirable that the general principles upon which such applications should be dealt with should be settled beforehand rather than that they should be discussed with immediate reference to any particular case. The Council are of opinion that there is room in the UniColleges and versity for a class of new Institutions intermediate between the existing Colleges and the private Hostels for which provision is made by the Statute 'De Hospitiis.' To recognise a new Institution under the name of a College might give rise to legal questions and other difficulties as to the academical position of its Head and some other points. The Council therefore think it important that in the recognition of such new Institutions as are now contemplated some other technical style than that of 'College' should be adopted by the University. Hostels. to be called Hostels. The Cambridge use of the word 'Hall' as synonymous Public with College seems to exclude its adoption as the technical style of the new Institutions. The designation Public Hostel appears to the Council to be on the whole the most suitable. This designation would distinguish such Institutions from the establishments of an essentially private character contemplated in the Statute 'de Hospitiis.' The Council therefore recommend I. Terms may residence in be kept by a Public Hostel. That Students be allowed to keep terms by residence in Public Hostels established for Academical Education, and recognised by the University. Such Students shall be subject to such University Officers only as have authority Independent over Students who are Members of Colleges, and not to the Collegiate Board for admitting and superintending Non-Collegiate Board.
