The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that she has received with gratitude two benefactions from the Board of Cambridge in America:

(i) a benefaction of £2m, made possible following a generous gift to Cambridge in America by Mr Mark Pigott, to be used to support doctoral research in any subject within the fields of arts, humanities, or social sciences;
(ii) a benefaction of US$1m, made possible following a generous gift to Cambridge in America by Qualcomm Inc, to be used to support doctoral research students in the Computer Laboratory, Judge Business School, and the Department of Engineering, from countries in the European Union.

The Council is submitting Graces to the Regent House (Graces 1 and 2, p. 545) for the approval of regulations to govern these Funds.
