¹ These fees and payments were last revised in 1995. Increases of approximately ten per cent are now proposed; this is roughly in line with the increase in University stipends since 1995.

² Statutes and Ordinances, p. 580. It is proposed to adopt the term Resident in place of the titles University Assistant Anaesthetist, University Assistant Pathologist, University Assistant Physician, University Assistant Radiologist, and University Assistant Surgeon. The term Resident is used informally in the Veterinary School, and is in common use as a official title in other veterinary schools. It is also proposed to reduce the maximum length of tenure from seven years to five; the Faculty Board of Clinical Veterinary Medicine are satisfied that this reduction will be in the interests both of the individuals concerned and of the Veterinary School.
