2 In a Notice, dated 17 June 2002 (Reporter, 2001-02, p. 910) the Vice-Chancellor announced Dr Herchel Smith's generous bequest to the University of more than £45m. Under the terms of Dr Smith's Will, part of the bequest was to be added (i) to a previous donation made by Dr Smith in 1982, to provide support for the Professorship of Medicinal Chemistry, and the total amount used to separately endow a University Lectureship, or Assistant Directorship of Research, in Medicinal Chemistry; (ii) to a previous donation he had made in 1986 to support Fellowships and Studentships in the field of medicinal chemistry. The bequest also made provision for the endowment of a second University Lectureship in Medicinal Chemistry. Dr Smith also requested in his Will that separate funding arrangements be set up for Fellowships and Ph.D. Studentships. Regulations to govern the proposed endowment for these purposes are now proposed.
