2. The Gilbey Lecturer shall deliver lectures on rural conservation and on the history and economics of agriculture.

3. An offer received from the Worshipful Company of Girdlers to renew their support of the teaching of Economics in the University by an annual grant of £120 was accepted by the Council of the Senate in April 1949.

4. If the Humphrey Owen Jones Lectureship Fund is in future united with any other fund making further provision for the teaching of Physical Chemistry in the University, the name Humphrey Owen Jones shall always form part of the title of the office. The interest of the Fund accruing during any vacancy shall be added to the principal sum and invested.

5. If in any year the income of the Eric Yarrow Lectureship Fund exceeds £500 but not £550, the excess over £500 may be used to pay the University's contribution in respect of the Lecturer under the Pension Scheme.

6. The stipend and pension contributions of the Lewis-Gibson Lecturer shall be paid from the Modern Greek Fund. It shall be part of the duties of the Lecturer to give such instruction as the Faculty Board of Modern and Medieval Languages may require to provide for the teaching of students offering Modern Greek in the Modern and Medieval Languages Tripos.

7. Two of the University Lecturers in Mathematics shall bear the titles Cayley Lecturer and Stokes Lecturer respectively. When at any time there is no Lecturer bearing the title Cayley Lecturer or Stokes Lecturer, as the case may be, the General Board may, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Mathematics, confer the title on one of the University Lecturers in Mathematics.

8. The Polonsky–Coexist Lecturer in Jewish Studies shall provide such teaching in Jewish Studies, with special reference to the relations with the other Abrahamic faiths, for students offering the relevant papers under the regulations for the Theological and Religious Studies Tripos, as determined by the Faculty Board of Divinity.

9. When a Lectureship supported by a benefaction mentioned in Regulation 1 falls vacant, the Appointments Committee for the Faculty or Department with which the Lectureship is connected may transfer to it with his or her consent, if they think fit, an existing University Lecturer.
