Book Description

Excerpt from Statutes Made for the University of Oxford, and for the Colleges and Halls Therein: By the University of Oxford Commissioners Acting in Pursuance of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act, 1887 The Statutes comprised in this volume were, with the exception of those relating to Hertford College, made by the University of Oxford Commissioners under section 12 of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act, 1877. The Statutes as to certain Scholarships and Exhibitions in Hertford College were made by that College, and approved by the Commissioners, under section II of the same Act. As each Statute, or - in the case of Colleges - collection of Statutes, was issued by the Commissioners in a separate form, it became a question of some difficulty to determine the order in which they should be arranged for the purposes of the present publication. The Statutes made for Colleges are naturally placed under the Colleges to which they respectively relate, the Colleges themselves being arranged according to the reputed order of their foundation. Those made for the University are arranged on the principle which upon due consideration seemed most likely to be convenient for reference. The Statutes have been reprinted from copies issued from the Privy Council Office after receiving the approval of Her Majesty in Council. A few errors in typography and punctuation have been corrected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
