the absence of the Governor.

The term "Principal" is omitted; because it seems unnecessary to have two titles for ne ameez. Consultation with the S-pate on the question of the nomination of the Vice-Chancellor seems necessary as academic interests are fully represented on the Council. It is therefore proposed that the Vice-Chancellor shall be appointed by the Court upon the nomination of the Council, with- out requinag "consultation with the Senate. At least five mem- bers will be common to the two bodies, four of these five being officers of the University.

The Vice-Chancellor will in

inture confer degrees only in the absence of the Chancellor (Gor. ernori and Pro-Chancellor (Officer Administering the Government).

The Pro-Vice-Chancellorship is abolished, and power is gives to appoint an acting Vice Chancellor.

Power is given to appoint an acting Treasurer.

The Vice-Chancellor will in 17 future be the Vice-Chairman of

the Council.

Theexisting Finance Committee £ is subordinate to the Council. The new Finance Committee, subjac: to clause 21. will have complete entrol over the finances of the University. This is considered essential.
