The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that he has appointed The Reverend Canon Jeremy Davies, of Corpus Christi College, Canon Emeritus and formerly Precentor of Salisbury Cathedral, as Preacher at the Commemoration of John Mere to be held in St Benedict’s Church, at 11.45 a.m., on Tuesday, 22 April 2014.
The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that he has received from the Governing Body of Robinson College, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(2) of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act 1923, the text of a proposed Statute to amend the Statutes of the College. The main purpose of these changes is to remove any ambiguity as to the role of the College Council as the College's Charity Trustees for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011. The current Statutes of the College showing the proposed amendments are available on the College’s website: http://www.robinson.cam.ac.uk/about/foia.php.
Paper copies may be inspected at the University Offices until 10 a.m. on 19 July 2013.
The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that, under the provisions of Regulation 6 of the regulations for Graces and Congregations of the Regent House (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 107), he has withdrawn Grace 1 of 19 June 2013 concerning the Report of the Council on the Technical Review of the Statutes (see Notice below).
In the Council’s Notice dated 17 June 2013 (Reporter, 6313, 2012–13, p. 647), the Council noted that it would be willing to be bound by the advice of the Privy Council Office on whether the words Deum timeto: regem honorato: virtutem colito: disciplinis bonis operam dato should be included when the revised Statutes were presented to the Privy Council. The Council has since been advised by the Privy Council Office that the words have been included when a new set of Statutes has been presented to the Privy Council in the past. It is therefore proposed that these words be inserted before the heading for Statute A in the proposed New Statutes as previously submitted to the Regent House in Appendix I to the Report of the Council on the Technical Review of the Statutes (Reporter, 6309, 2012–13, p. 580). The Council is therefore submitting a Grace for the approval of the Report, as revised by this Notice (Grace 2, p. 677).
