UNIVERSITY OFFICERS, &c.

CHANCELLORS*.

The office of Chancellor is biennial, or tenable for such a length of time beyond two years as the tacit consent of the University may choose to allow. The election of a Chancellor must be within fourteen days after the vacancy. The Vice-Chancellor, Proctors, and a junior D.D. D.C.L. or M.D. stand in scrutiny, and first write their votes. All members of the Senate then bring their votes written in the same form, and the Senior Proctor pronounces the election.

REPRESENTATIVES IN PARLIAMENT.

James I. by his Charter, in the first year of his reign, granted power to the Chancellors, Masters, and Scholars of the two Universities, to elect and return two persons in each, to represent them in Parliament. Whenever there is a vacancy in the representation, the Sheriff sends the precept to the Vice-Chancellor, and the election, of which the Vice-Chancellor gives four days notice at least, is to be within eight days from the receipt of it. At the time of election, the two Proctors, and the junior D.D. present, stand in scrutiny with the Vice-Chancellor, who is the returning officer. The members of the Senate then give their votes in writing, and a majority of such determines the election.

PROCTORS.

Two colleges are every year to nominate persons for Proctors, in the order prescribed in a cycle of 51 years; in which time, King's, Trinity, and St. John's colleges have each of them eleven turns; St. Peter's, Christ's, Queen's, and Pembroke, seven each; Clare Hall, six; Corpus Christi, Jesus, Caius, Magdalene, Emmanuel, and Sidney, five each; Catharine Hall, four; and Trinity Hall, one. Each of the two colleges nominates one person. The person nominated may be a Regent or Non-Regent Master of Arts. If he be a Regent, he must be in the third year of his Regency at least.

He must be presented in the presence of the Registrary to the Vice-Chancellor, by the Head of his college, or by some one in his name, before the 1st day of August.

If any one who has been presented should die, or refuse the office, or be found incapacitated, before the 10th of October following, the Heads of colleges appoint two persons to be offered to the Senate, one of whom is to be elected. The same course is observed in case any college neglects in due time to present.

If the office becomes vacant before the expiration of the year, Trinity Hall presents a Proctor for the remainder.

The Proctors are elected on the 10th of October, by the Regents only.
