The Vice-Chancellor has also accepted with gratitude a benefaction of £200,000 from an anonymous donor, to establish the Douglas Cashin Fund to support the study of Classics at the University, with a preference for providing assistance to those who might otherwise be deterred from such study by their financial circumstances.

The Vice-Chancellor begs leave to refer to his Notice of 14 August 2014 (Reporter, 6357, 2014–15, p. 2), concerning proposed amending Statutes for Hughes Hall. He hereby gives notice that in the opinion of the Council the proposed Statutes make no alteration of any Statute which affects the University, and do not require the consent of the University; that the interests of the University are not prejudiced by them, and that the Council has resolved to take no action upon them, provided that the Council will wish to reconsider the proposed Statutes if they have not been submitted to the Privy Council by 27 October 2015.
