Paper copies may be inspected at the University Offices until 10 a.m. on 27 February 2015.
The Vice-Chancellor reminds members of the University that a Congregation will be held on Wednesday, 17 June 2015, at which the Chancellor expects to confer Honorary Degrees (see Graces 1–8, p. 383).
Admission will be by ticket only and details of the arrangements and application for tickets are expected to be published in the Reporter on 22 April 2015.
The Vice-Chancellor announces that the following candidates have been duly nominated in accordance with Statute A IV 2 for election to the Council in class (c) (members of the Regent House other than Heads of Colleges, Professors, and Readers), and that it has been certified to him that each candidate has consented to be nominated in the class shown:

An election is necessary to select one member in class (c). The election will be conducted by ballot under the Single Transferable Vote regulations. Online voting will open at 9 a.m. on Friday, 20 February 2015 and close at 5 p.m. on Monday, 2 March 2015. Hard-copy voting papers will be distributed not later than Friday, 20 February 2015 to those who opted before 12 December 2014 to continue to receive them; the last date for the return of voting papers will be 5 p.m. on Monday, 2 March 2015.
Regulation 2 for the election of members of the Board of Scrutiny (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 121) provides that, if at an election insufficient nominations are received to fill all the places either in class (c)(i) or in class (c)(ii), the Council shall appoint as many members as may be necessary. No person having been nominated in the election for two members of the Board of Scrutiny in class (c)(ii) (members of the Regent House), the Council will be asked to make appointments to those vacancies.
Further to the Notice published on 22 October 2014 (Reporter, 6361, 2014–15, p. 58), the Council, on the recommendation of the University and Assistants Joint Board, wishes to confirm the arrangements for the implementation of the changes to the general stipend and salary scale approved by Grace 2 of 22 October 2014. Those affected by the changes will receive the increment from 1 January 2015, not their normal incremental date.
