¹ This Grace, made under Statute D, V, 15, brings into force the statutory provision for the review jurisdiction for the Commissary. See the Council's Notice and the Rules of Procedure made by the Commissary, p. 178.

² The Faculty Board of Architecture and History of Art have proposed an earlier start for examinations in the Architecture Tripos in order that candidates may be examined in the various components over a longer period. The Faculty Board of Engineering have reviewed the teaching and examining arrangements for various Parts of the Triposes for which they are responsible, so as to achieve a closer integration of those arrangements and allow for a broader choice of papers by candidates and an improved timetable within which candidates make their choices. As a consequence of that review, the Faculty Board wish to consolidate all examinations for these Parts of the Triposes into a three-week period beginning on the Monday before the first day of the Full Easter Term.

³ Recent changes in the duties and the research interests undertaken by Dr R. M. Smith, the present holder of the Readership, make it appropriate to reassign the office to the Department of Geography. This proposal has the support of Dr Smith and of the two Faculty Boards and of the Head of the Department concerned.
