The Council proposes the divestment by the University of three buildings on the south side of Mill Lane. Kenmare House is a five-storey, Grade II listed building which until 2014 hosted the University’s Estate Management Division. Stuart House is a three-storey building which currently accommodates the University Careers Service. 4 Mill Lane is a four-storey building which currently hosts parts of the Academic Division. Both Stuart House and 4 Mill Lane will be vacated following completion of the North Range of buildings on the New Museums site in 2018.
The three buildings form part of the University’s Old Press site, for which a master plan is being developed in partnership with several Colleges interested in developing a substantial part of the site for graduate student accommodation. The Estates Strategy Committee has endorsed a proposal to grant a long lease for Kenmare House, Stuart House, and 4 Mill Lane to Pembroke College. The proposal has been scrutinized and supported by the Finance Committee, and agreed for its part by the Council. The Council is accordingly submitting a Grace to the Regent House (Grace 1, p. 763) for the approval of the proposal as shown on the attached plan.
The Council proposes fees which have been recommended by the relevant bodies as set out in the Schedule below.
The Council proposes an amendment to the fees for Group 5 as originally approved by Grace 2 of 18 January 2017.
The Council is submitting a Grace to the Regent House (Grace 2, p. 763) for the approval of the fees set out in the Schedule attached to this Notice.

The Council has received the remarks made at the Discussion on 27 June 2017 (Reporter, 6472, 2016–17, p. 749) concerning the above Report (Reporter, 6469, 2016–17, p. 653) and has consulted with the General Board in providing the following response.
The General Board notes the support for the recommendations of this Report from Dame Barbara Stocking, Chair of the Faculty Board of Human, Social, and Political Science, and from Professors Jones, Broodbank, and Laidlaw, respectively the current Head of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, and the prospective Heads of the proposed Departments of Archaeology and of Social Anthropology. The Board also notes the comments of Professor Foley and shares his view that the achievements of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology should be celebrated. In answer to his specific points:
(1) The current Division of Archaeology, which incorporates the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, has a proven track record as an intellectually broad house and one that can effectively support a wide range of disciplinary research – witness the strong profile of ancient Near Eastern languages within it, and the successful promotion of research (and teaching) in heritage studies, culminating recently in a new Centre for Heritage Research. The Board notes Professor Broodbank’s remarks, which indicate that this same commitment will be offered to Biological Anthropology, to advance teaching and research in the fields of human evolution, genetics, behaviour, and cognition.
(2) Healthy numbers taking Biological Anthropology papers within the new Archaeology Tripos, including both students within the new Tripos and those from other Triposes, are central to the strategic planning of the new Department, alongside similarly healthy growth in the numbers taking Archaeology papers. The Archaeology Tripos has an explicitly highlighted Biological Anthropology stream built into it, and work is already underway to explore the best way to deliver it through regular meetings of a collaborative teaching committee (of which Professor Foley is a member). Active targeting of prospective applicants who wish to focus on Biological Anthropology within the new Tripos is already in progress, with an intensive programme planned for 2017–18; the aim is to increase numbers coming to Cambridge specifically to focus on this field, as opposed to taking single or groups of papers. Close co-operation with those other Triposes that contribute substantial numbers of students to Part I and Part II Biological Anthropology papers would be maintained, and enhanced, following the proposed changes.
(3) It is hard and perhaps otiose, given the multidisciplinarity of much research, to measure parity between disciplines, but the naming of the new Department was determined through extensive discussion in late 2014, in which dialogue all relevant disciplines were represented. Archaeology has already successfully provided a home for one other distinct field (Ancient Near Eastern studies, including Assyriology and Egyptology), which maintains a distinct identity with regards to both research and student recruitment, despite the lack of titular visibility at department level.
The Board is aware that, if the recommendations of the Report are approved, the Department will enter a period of transition, during which discussion and consultation will be indispensable. The Board is content that those concerned in that process, including the Head of the School, are committed to delivering a positive outcome for all concerned.
The Council is submitting a Grace (Grace 3, p. 763) for the approval of the recommendations of this Report.
