provided that the Provident Fund provision be amended so that a man recruited at about 30 to a professorship might retire at the age of 55 with a sum of not less than £10,000 to his credit in the Provident Fund.
Resolved (nem. con)
(a) that the Court considers it desirable to re- store, as soon as financial circumstances permit, the equivalent of the Gollan scale of salaries to those members of the staff who are entitled to that scale, and that the Finance Committee be asked to consider the possibility of effecting this by a revision of the terms of the Provident Fund;
(b) that the attempt to apply differential scales of pay when recruitment is made by a Committee in London acting as advisers to the University would still further narrow the already restricted area of recruitment.
Resolved (nem. con) that contracts for all men appointed hereafter provide that the normal retiring age of lecturers and professors be 55 and that extension from year to year up to the age of 60 be permitted only if the University desires to retain the services of a lecturer or professor, on condition that the proviso to the proposal under Report paragraph 69 is accepted.
Resolved (nem. con)
(a) that the Court is of opinion that in normal times the cost of administration through a full-time Vice-Chancellor and a Registrar paid on the scale of a professor is high.
The Court considered the following resolution of the Council :-
(b) that the present constitution of the Univer- sity is cumbrous (Para. 79 of Report) is a matter of common experience and that the following modi- fications of the constitution of the University would. make for simpler working:
(i) that the present Council of the University be abolished and that there be substituted a smaller body, an Executive Committee. of the Court to consist of not more than 11 members which should have statutory powers to carry out the functions at pre- sent under the Ordinance assigned to the Council.
