3. The income of the Fund shall be used to provide awards to persons who are or are about to be registered as Graduate Students in the Faculty of Philosophy.

6. It shall be open to the University, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Philosophy, to alter these regulations from time to time, provided that the Fund shall be devoted to the encouragement and support of the study of Philosophy.
2. That, on the recommendation of the General Board and the Faculty Board of Architecture and History of Art, Regulation 6 of the regulations for Affiliated Students (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 174) be amended by deleting the entry for Architecture.2
3. That the regulations for the 3 Verulam Buildings Prizes be amended as follows:3
Regulation 2.
By amending the regulation so as to read:
2. The Prizes shall be awarded by the Examiners for Part II of the Law Tripos and by the Examiners for the LL.M., as follows:
(a)one Prize shall be awarded to the candidate who has shown the greatest distinction in the subject Equity;
(b)one Prize shall be awarded to the candidate who has shown the greatest distinction in the subject International Commercial Litigation.
1See the Vice-Chancellor’s Notice on p. 426.
2The purpose of the amendment is to disallow candidates from directly entering the Architecture Tripos at Part Ib, as such candidates would not have completed the required studio-work which is necessary to progress to PartIb. The Faculty Board of Architecture and History of Art have confirmed that there are no deferred offers to Affiliated Students to enter Part Ibof the Tripos.
3Statutes and Ordinances, p. 946. The 3 Verulam Buildings Prizes are currently awarded for distinction in the examination in particular subjects of Part II of the Law Tripos, one of which is Banking Law, which is no longer offered. The donors of the Prizes have offered instead to sponsor a prize for distinction in the LL.M. examination in International Commercial Litigation.
