The Registrary gives notice that the Awarders of the Ord Travel Fund will receive applications for grants from students of music who wish to travel in Europe and in the Mediterranean countries of Africa or Asia, or exceptionally elsewhere, in order to increase their interest in and understanding of the art and practice of music, and to improve their knowledge of languages for the same purpose.
A sum in the region of £1,141 is available for award in 2000. Members of the University may apply for a grant provided that on 25 March 2000 they will have spent at least two terms studying for a Part of the Music Tripos and that twelve complete terms will not have passed after their first term of residence.
Applications for grants, accompanied by a short description of the proposed travel, must be submitted through the candidate's Tutor to the Registrary so as to reach him not later than 14 February 2000. Awards will be made not later than 17 March 2000 and will be payable on application to the Treasurer.
Not later than the division of term next following the term or the vacation in which the travel is completed, each recipient of a grant must send to the Secretary of the Faculty Board of Music for transmission to the Awarders a short report of his or her travel.
The Registrary gives notice that the William Barclay Squire Essay Prize will be awarded for the best essay of not more than 5,000 words, apart from musical texts, on a subject relating to the history of music. The value of the Prize at present is £300.
The Prize is open to any member of the University in statu pupillari, other than a Graduate Student.
Candidates must submit the proposed subject of their essay to the Registrary not later than 17 March 2000 for transmission to the Adjudicators, who will inform the candidate not later than 25 April 2000 whether they accept the proposed subject.
Each essay must be sent to the Registrary so as to reach him not later than 30 September 2000.
N.B. Candidates' attention is drawn to the general regulations (Statutes and Ordinances, 1999, p. 655), and in particular to Regulations 10 and 11.
The scheme of examination for the John Stewart of Rannoch Scholarships in Sacred Music will consist of:
| (a) | a dissertation of not less than 5,000 words and not more than 10,000 words on a topic in Sacred Music proposed by the candidate and approved by the Managers; |
| (b) | a viva voce examination on the dissertation, which may also include ear-tests, keyboard tests, and such other tests as the Examiners deem to be desirable. |
Notice is hereby given that, if there are candidates of sufficient merit, at least two John Stewart of Rannoch Scholarships in Sacred Music, each tenable for three years, will be offered for competition to students resident in the University.
The annual value of the Scholarships is £300, and Scholars are entitled to receive, at the end of the Easter Term in which they are elected, one year's emolument of their Scholarship. The remainder will be paid to them in equal termly instalments, but they will receive no payment at the end of a term unless they have kept the term or have pursued a course of study or research approved by the Managers. The Managers may renew the tenure for a fourth year, but for no longer.
Members of the University may be candidates, provided that at the time of the examination not more than nine complete terms will have passed after their first term of residence.
The names of candidates proposing to submit entries must be sent to the Registrary, University Registry, The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TN, by the end of the third quarter of the Michaelmas Term, i.e. 29 November 1999. If two or more candidates show equal proficiency, preference will be given to natives of the counties of Wiltshire, Somerset, and Gloucester, including the city and county of Bristol. Students who wish to claim such preference must submit a certificate of their place of birth when their name is sent to the Registrary. The Registrary will communicate each candidate's proposed subject to the Managers and will inform the candidates whether or not their subjects are acceptable not later than the last day of the Michaelmas Term, i.e. 19 December 1999. Dissertations must be sent to the Registrary so as to reach him not later than the last day of Full Lent Term, i.e. 17 March 2000, together with a certificate signed by the candidate that it is his or her own original work. The viva voce examination will be held not later than the Division of the Easter Term, i.e. 21 May 2000.
