Endowment of the Greek Professorship.

Alternative Amendments proposed to the Statute promulgated Nov. 20.

I. That in the first sentence the words “qui nunc est” be inserted after the word “Professoris.”

The aim of this Amendment is to have a distinct issue on which to vote.

If adopted it will satisfy those who object to surrendering the future patronage of the Chair.

Those who vote on Theological grounds no Statute can satisfy which recognises the present Professor.

II. That a Statute be framed creating an independent Professorship of Greek.

That the Professor shall be appointed by a Board similar in constitution to that which appoints the Professor of Latin: but that the Corpus element be omitted and the Professor of Latin be substituted for the Regius Professor of Greek.

That all the conditions imposed by the promulgated Statute be retained except No. 7, which shall either be omitted, or altered by inserting after the word “Professione” the words “nisi in eadem materia.”

This alternative preserves to the University the Election of the Professor, while it leaves the present Regius Professor eligible.

It adopts a mode of Election already sanctioned in a parallel case.

No. I. meets the present peculiar circumstances. Suppose that carried, No. II. might be a permanent addition to the Statute-Book.
