provided that

1. (a)this section shall not debar a College or other competent authority from appointing to the Headship of the College a person holding or appointed or elected to hold an office placed in Schedule C (vii) 1, nor shall it debar a College from electing to a Professorial Fellowship a person holding such an office who at the time of her or his appointment or election to the office (even if the office was not then Schedule C (vii) 1) was or had previously been a Fellow of the College;

(d)this section shall not debar a College from electing to a Professorial Fellowship, with effect from a date not later than a date in the academical year next but one following, a person holding, or appointed or elected to hold an office placed in Schedule C (vii) 1, if it appears to the University Registrary that on the day from which such election is to take effect the College would, unless the election were made, have among its Fellows a number of such persons less than its quota of Professorial Fellowships;
5. (e)for the purposes of the conditions numbered (i) and (ii) in this section a person elected to a Professorial Fellowship with effect from a future date shall from the day on which such election is made be reckoned as if he or she were already a Fellow competent to hold a Professorial Fellowship;

7. (g)in the application of this section to Colleges of which both men and women may be Fellows, Colleges of which only men may be Fellows shall be disregarded if the person to be elected is a woman and vice versa;
8. (h)during the year in which a quota is first allotted to a College and during the five years next following that year, the College shall be deemed to have satisfied the condition numbered (ii) in this section when it has among its Fellows a number competent to hold Professorial Fellowships which is less by one than its quota of such Fellowships;
9. (i)if among the Fellows of any College the total number9 of persons competent to hold Professorial Fellowships has for a continuous period of nine months been less than the quota of such Fellowships for that College, and if the College certifies to the Registrary that during such period it has been unable to elect to Professorial Fellowships a sufficient number of persons to satisfy the condition numbered (ii) in this section, the College may, if it so consents, be deemed for a period not exceeding one year (calculated from the date on which the College’s certificate is received by the Registrary) to have satisfied that condition.

5. If among the Fellows of any College the actual number of persons competent to hold Professorial Fellowships is less than the quota of such Fellowships for that College, and if there are in the University five or more persons competent to hold Professorial Fellowships but not holding Fellowships at any College, that College shall take steps to ensure that the vacancy is filled not later than one year after its occurrence, provided that

8. In the application of this Special Ordinance to a College which is able under its Statutes to elect men or women to Fellowships but which, if previously a College of which only men might be Fellows has never elected a woman (other than a bursar) to a Fellowship, or if previously a College of which only women might be Fellows has never elected a man (other than a bursar) to a Fellowship, that College shall be deemed to be a College of which only men may be Fellows or of which only women may be Fellows as the case may be; provided that in either case for the purpose of the first election of a Professorial Fellow of the opposite sex Section 4 of this Special Ordinance shall apply as if the College were one of which both men and women may be Fellows.

9. A Professorship placed in Schedule C (vii) 1 may be specified by Grace as a Professorship which, for the purpose of this Special Ordinance, shall also be placed in Schedule G (i) 2. A Professorship placed in Schedule G (i) 2 shall be governed by the following special provisions notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 4 and 5 of this Special Ordinance
