With regard to the Knightbridge Professorship, the Board are of opinion that a sum equal in amount to the augmentation of the income of the late Professor authorised by Grace of the Senate of April 11, 1872, together with a sum in lieu of the share of the Professorial Fund paid to him, should be paid as heretofore to the present Knightbridge Professor from the Chest, and that the additional sum required to provide the statutable stipend of the Professor should be charged to the Common University Fund.

With regard to the Professorship of Physiology the following resolution of the Financial Board passed at a meeting held on March 7, 1883:

"That in the opinion of this Board, there are funds arising from the Common University Fund, from which the Endowment of the Professorship of Physiology established by Statute B ch. vI § 2 may be met "

was embodied in the Report of the Council of the Senate confirmed by Grace on May 10, 1883, recommending that immediate steps be taken for the appointment of a Professorship of Physiology.

The Board are of opinion that the whole of the stipend of the Professor of Physiology should be charged to the Common University Fund.

Although the Board are of opinion that no additional permanent charge of considerable magnitude should be placed upon the Chest, yet having regard to the fact that the first contributions of the Colleges to the Common University Fund are not due till the end of the year, they think it expedient that the stipends of the Plumian and Knightbridge Professors, and of the Professors of Anatomy and Physiology, for the portion of the financial year ending Dec. 31, 1883, during which these Professors have held office, should be charged to the Chest.

The sum of £42 9s. 1d. has been heretofore annually paid to the Knightbridge Professor, and an equal sum to the Professor of Anatomy, from the Professorial Fund. For simplicity of accounts, the Board think it convenient that in lieu

Plumian.

of this sum, £50 be annually charged to the Chest, on account of each of these Professorships, from and after Jan. 1, 1884.

The Board therefore recommend:

I. That the sums required in addition to the endowments of the Plumian and Knightbridge Professorships, to provide the statutable stipends of the Plumian and Knightbridge Professors, for the portion of the financial year ending Dec. 31, 1883, during which these Professors have respectively held office, be charged to the Chest.

II. That the statutable stipends of the Professors of Anatomy and Physiology, for the portion of the financial year ending Dec. 31, 1883, during which these Professors have respectively held office, be charged to the Chest.

III. That from and after Jan. 1, 1884, the sum of £350 be annually charged to the Chest towards the stipend of the Professor of Anatomy, and that the residue of the statutable stipend of the Professor be charged to the Common University Fund.

IV. That from and after Jan. 1, 1884, the sum required in addition to the endowments arising from the Plumian Estate at Balsham, Dr Smith's Benefaction and the Sadlerian Trust, to provide the statutable stipend of the Plumian Professor, be charged to the Common University Fund.

V. That from and after Jan. 1, 1884, the excess of £350 over the special endowment of the Knightbridge Professor, be annually charged to the Chest towards the income of the Knightbridge Professor, and that the additional sum required to provide the statutable stipend of the Professor, be charged to the Common University Fund.

VI. That from and after Jan. 1, 1884, the statutable stipend of the Professor of Physiology be charged to the Common University Fund.

Demonstrators.

17. That the following sums be paid annually from the Common University Fund:

£50 to each of the two existing Demonstrators in

Physics, as an addition to the stipend received from

£60 to each of two Assistant Demonstrators in Physics;
£100 to a Demonstrator in Mineralogy who shall also
act as Assistant Curator of the Museum;
£100 to a Demonstrator in Botany;

£200 to a Senior Demonstrator in Physiology;

£50 towards the payment of a Junior Demonstrator in Physiology;

£100 to a Demonstrator in Geology.

That it be the duty of the Demonstrators to assist the Professors in giving catechetical or class instruction to Students and in superintending the practical work of Students in the Laboratories or Museums.

That each Demonstrator be appointed by the Professor of the subject with which his Demonstratorship is connected, with the consent of the Vice-Chancellor; and that he be under the general direction of such Professor and removeable by him with the consent of the Vice-Chancellor.

That these payments commence in each case from the date of the appointment of the Demonstrator, being subsequent to the approval of this recommendation by Grace of the Senate; provided that if in any case the person so appointed shall have been actually discharging the duties of Demonstrator during the Michaelmas Term 1883 the payment shall commence from Michaelmas 1883.
