The Vice-Chancellor invites those qualified under the regulations for Discussions (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 107) to attend a Discussion in the Council Room, on Tuesday, 29 May 2012, at 2 p.m., for the discussion of the Report of the General Board, dated 9 May 2012, on the Senior Academic Promotions (SAP) procedure (Reporter, 2011–12, p. 606).
The Vice-Chancellor begs leave to refer to his Notice of 26 April 2012 (Reporter, 2011–12, p. 560), concerning proposed amending Statutes for Jesus College. 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 16 May 2013.
The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that at the Congregations for General Admission to Degrees to be held on 28, 29, and 30 June 2012, tickets will be required for admission to the Senate-House. Admission tickets are issued by Colleges, and prospective graduands should apply to their Colleges for admission tickets for their personal friends whom they wish to invite to the Congregations. Other members of the University who wish to be present are also asked to obtain tickets from their Colleges.
The Congregations will be divided into separate sessions, with intervals between the presentation of candidates from successive Colleges, except that candidates from Darwin College, Wolfson College, and Clare Hall will be presented in a single session, as will candidates from Lucy Cavendish College and St Edmund’s College. Visitors may not leave the Senate-House except in the intervals between sessions.
Members of the University are required to wear academical dress in the Senate-House. Any member of the University who is not acting as an officer at the Congregations and who holds a degree of another university or degree-awarding institution may wear the academical dress appropriate to that degree; save that this provision shall not apply to those presenting for, or receiving, degrees. The days of General Admission are ‘scarlet’ days, and Doctors in the different Faculties are asked to wear their festal gowns.
