Smuts Memorial Fund Commonwealth Lectures: Notice

The ordinances of the Smuts Memorial Fund state that 'The third charge on the income of the Fund shall be the cost of a lecture or course of lectures to be delivered by a Smuts Memorial Lecturer appointed from time to time, on such conditions as they may think fit, by the Board of Managers of the Fund'.

The lectures, which must be on a Commonwealth-related subject, are organized and advertised by the hosting Department, but the Smuts Memorial Fund makes a financial contribution.

The Board of Managers beg leave to announce that henceforth the lectures will be held biennially, with the next lectures held in the academic year 2006-07. Relevant Departments will shortly be invited to bid for funds of up to £2,500 towards the direct costs of the lectures.

Departments may continue to submit requests to the Managers in the usual way for support for ad hoc lectures outside the two-yearly cycle.

For further information please contact the Acting Secretary to the Managers, Mrs Linda Whitebread (kfw20@admin.cam.ac.uk).
