CONGREGATION 1 July 2 p.m.

¶ Members of Congregation are reminded that
written notice of any intention to vote against the
preambles of the statutes at item 1 below, or the special
resolution at item 2 below, signed in each case by at
least two members of Congregation, must be given to the
Registrar by noon on Monday, 23 June.

1 Promulgation of Statutes

Statute (1): Removal of an anomaly

Explanatory note

The following statute adds to the list of degrees which
qualify their holders, if otherwise eligible, for
membership of a faculty the recently introduced degrees
of M.Biochem., M.Chem., M.Earth Sc., M.Eng., M.Math., and
M.Phys. The need for this amendment was previously
overlooked.

(1) WHEREAS it is expedient to make a
consequential amendment to an existing statute which has
been overlooked in recent legislation, THE UNIVERSITY
ENACTS AS FOLLOWS.

In Tit. VI, Sect. I, cl. 2 (i) (Statutes,
1995, p. 40), after `or Master of Arts, or' insert `or
(subject also to his or her already being a member of
Convocation) the Degree of Master of Biochemistry or

Statute (2): Role and responsibilities of the Registrar

Explanatory note

In anticipation of the retirement on 31 March 1998 of the
present holder of the office of Registrar of the
University, Dr A.J. Dorey, Council has set up a committee
under the chairmanship of the Principal of Linacre to
review that office. The committee has recommended
(inter alia), and Council has agreed, that the
present statute setting out the Registrar's duties, which
is largely restricted to a list of the original
record-keeping functions of the office, should be revised
so as to give a fuller description of the principal
functions of the holder, which now include: the provision
of advice on strategic policy to the Vice-Chancellor and
Council; management and professional development of the
Central Administration; promoting communication within
Oxford; and conducting relationships between the
University and external bodies, especially funding
bodies. The following statute provides accordingly. At
the same time, the detailed statutory prescription of the
records which the Registrar must keep has been reduced,
since the review committee and Council consider it more
appropriate that these should in future be set out only
in the relevant decrees and regulations.

The following statute also deletes cl. 17 of the
existing statute, which requires the University to
provide an official residence for the Registrar and
requires the Registrar to live in that residence. The
present Registrar is dispensed ad hominem from
this requirement (Statutes, 1995, p. 523),
and Council has agreed, on the review committee's
recommendation, that the requirement should be rescinded
and that in future a Registrar should be eligible for
assistance with housing costs on the same basis as
incoming professorial appointees (see
Gazette No. 4411, 3 October 1996, p. 60).

(2) WHEREAS it is expedient to revise the
statutory statement of the role and responsibilties of
the Registrar, THE UNIVERSITY ENACTS AS FOLLOWS.

1 In Tit. IX, Sect. VII
(Statutes, 1995, p. 68), delete cll. 1--11
and substitute:

`1. The Registrar shall be appointed by Council.

2. The Registrar shall act as principal adviser on
strategic policy to the Vice-Chancellor and to Council,
and shall ensure effective co-ordination of advice from
other officers to the Vice-Chancellor, Council, and other
university bodies.

3. The Registrar shall be the secretary of
Congregation and of Council. He or she shall also be
responsible for providing the secretary of any committee
or body set up by Congregation or Council under the
provisions of any statute or decree, which has no
executive officer.

4. The Registrar shall, under the Vice-Chancellor, be
the head of the central administrative services of the
University, and shall be responsible for the management
and professional development of their staff and for the
development of other administrative support.

5. The Registrar shall, under the direction of the
Vice- Chancellor, be responsible for overseeing the
University's external relations and for communications
which express the general policy of the University.

6. The Registrar shall have such other functions and
powers as are or shall be assigned to him or her by the
statutes or by the Vice-Chancellor under the provisions
of Sect. III, cl. 3 above.

7. The Registrar shall be entitled to receive the
papers of every committee or other body set up by or
under the authority of the statutes and decrees, and the
Registrar or his or her nominee may attend or speak
(though not vote) at any meeting.

8. The Registrar shall be responsible, as specified by
Council by decree, for ensuring the maintenance and
dissemination of university records and registers, for
furnishing certificates of matriculation, graduation, and
the results of university examinations, and for
university publications.'

2 Ibid., renumber existing cll. 12-
-16 (pp. 70--1) as cll. 9--13.

3 Ibid., cl. 10 as renumbered (p.
70), delete `clause 12 (a)' and substitute
`clause 9 (a)'.

4 Ibid., cl. 11 as renumbered,
delete `clause 12' and substitute `clause 9'; and delete
`clause 13' and substitute `clause 10'.

5 Ibid. (p. 71), delete cl. 17.

Statute (3): Hope Fund

Explanatory note

In 1849 the University accepted a gift of the
entomological collection, library of natural history,
plates, engravings, and other articles and effects from
The Revd Frederick William Hope and established a body of
Hope Curators to manage these collections. In 1860 and
1862 the University accepted monetary benefactions from
Mr Hope and Mrs Ellen Hope respectively to endow a Hope
Professorship of Zoology and to support the collections.
Under the terms of these benefactions, augmented in 1909
by a gift from Dr George Blunsdell Longstaff to support
the Hope Professorship or other purposes connected with
the Hope Zoological Collections or Library,
eight-thirteenths of the income of the Hope Fund were to
be used to support the Hope Professorship,
three-thirteenths to support the Keepership of the Hope
Collection of Engraved Portraits (which has for many
years been merged with the Keepership of the Department
of Western Art in the Ashmolean Museum), one-thirteenth
on the entomological collection, and one-thirteenth on
the collection of engraved portraits.

That portion of the income from the Hope Fund which
is available to support the chair is no longer sufficient
for the purpose, and in 1995 Council and the General
Board agreed, on the recommendation of the faculty board,
indefinitely to suspend the Hope Professorship of Zoology
(Entomology), which had fallen vacant, and to establish
instead a Professorship of Zoology, the cost of which
would be borne from general university funds (see
Gazette No. 4367, 8 June 1995, p. 1248).

The following statute provides for alternative uses
of the Hope Fund within the general field of the support
of the Hope Collections. In addition, in view of the fact
that the Hope Curators' responsibilities have passed to
other university bodies, Council has agreed, on the
recommendation of the Biological Sciences Board and with
the concurrence of the General Board, that the curators
should now be formally discharged. The decree to be made
by Council if the statute is approved effects the
necessary changes in existing legislation consequential
upon the discharge of the curators and the indefinite
suspension of the Hope Professorship.

(3) WHEREAS it is expedient to provide for
alternative uses of the Hope Fund within the general
field of the support of the Hope Collections, and to
discharge the Hope Curators, NOW THE UNIVERSITY OF
OXFORD, in exercise of the powers in that behalf
conferred upon it by the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge Act, 1923, and of all other powers enabling it,
ENACTS, subject to the approval of Her Majesty in
Council, AS FOLLOWS.

1 In Tit. XV (Statutes,
1995, p. 157, as amended, subject to the approval of Her
Majesty in Council, by Statute (1) approved by
Congregation on 14 May 1996, Gazette, Vol.
126, pp. 1086, 1122, and the Statute approved by
Congregation on 15 November 1996, ibid., Vol. 127, pp.
57, 284), insert Sect. LXII:

`Section LXII. Of the Hope Fund

1. The assets from time to time representing the
benefactions accepted by the University from The Reverend
Frederick William Hope in 1849 and 1860 and from Ellen
Hope in 1862, together with the gift of Dr George
Blunsdell Longstaff in 1909, shall constitute a fund to
be known as the Hope Fund.

2. The collections donated by the said Frederick
William Hope shall be known respectively as the Hope
Entomological Collection, the Hope Library, and the Hope
Collection of Engraved Portraits.

3. The income from the fund shall be used for the
support of the collections and library.

4. A sum representing three-thirteenths of the income
of the fund shall be applied to the support of the Keeper
of Western Art in the Ashmolean Museum, who shall be the
Keeper of the Hope Collection of Engraved Portraits.

5. In addition to any sums that may be allocated under
clause 6 below, a sum representing one-thirteenth of the
income of the fund shall be applied to the support of the
Hope Entomological Collection (including the related part
of the Hope Library), and an equal sum of one-thirteenth
of the income shall be applied to the support of the Hope
Collection of Engraved Portraits (including the related
part of the Hope Library).

6. The balance of the income of the fund shall be
administered by the Board of the Faculty of Biological
Sciences and shall be applied to the furtherance of the
study of entomology with particular reference to the
purposes of the Hope Entomological Collection.

7. The purposes for which the income shall be used
under clause 6 above may include:

(a) the support of a Professorship of
Zoology (Entomology), to be called the Hope Professorship
of Zoology, the holder of which shall lecture and give
instruction in Zoology with special reference to the
articulata;

(b) the support of studentships, which shall
be called the Hope Studentships, to be awarded to persons
who are, or have been accepted for admission as, members
of the University and who intend to undertake graduate
study under the Board of the Faculty of Biological
Sciences in association with the Hope Entomological
Collection;

(c) the purchase of books or equipment for,
or the provision of grants towards research expenses
incurred in support of, the Hope Entomological
Collection;

(d) the support of research fellowships or
curatorial services in connection with the Hope
Entomological Collection;

(e) such other support of the Hope
Entomological Collection as the Board of the Faculty of
Biological Sciences shall think fit.

8. Surplus income arising in any year shall be carried
forward for expenditure in subsequent years.

9. Congregation may from time to time amend this
statute, provided that the main object of the fund, as
defined in clauses 3 and 6 above, is always kept in
view.'

2 The Hope Curators (see
Statuta, 1914, pp. 514--15) are hereby
discharged.

REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY

Council has established a committee to review development
activity with the following terms of reference:

1 To review in broad terms the overall
aims and strategy of the University (including colleges)
for `development' (meaning thereby fund-raising and
friend-raising) over the next five to ten years in the
light of:

(a) experience to date since the launch of
the Campaign for Oxford in 1988, including funds raised;

(b) the resources allocated to the activity
by the University both in Campaign mode and thereafter,
i.e. after October 1994;

(c) the resources currently being allocated
to this activity by colleges;

(d) the improved arrangements now being
developed through the Planning Subcommittee of the
Resources Committee for the determination of university
priorities.

2 As part of the review under 1 to
give consideration to, and if appropriate make
recommendations on, the following:

(a) the role of the President of the
Development Programme;

(b) the general structure of the Development
Office (including the North American and Japan Offices);

(c) the relationship of the Development
Office with the External Relations and Research and
Commercial Services Offices as regards fund-raising and
friend-raising and the extent to which their activities
impinge on one another;

(d) the relationship of the Development
Office with departments and faculties as regards fund-
raising and friend-raising;

(e) the interaction between the Development
Office/departments/faculties and colleges following the
establishment of the Joint Committee for the Co-
ordination of University and College Fund-raising;

(f) possible ways of improving use of
existing resources for fund-raising and friend-raising
(university and college) and of maximising the return
therefrom;

(g) the identification of additional
resources for fund-raising and friend-raising.

3 To report to Council by its meeting
on 22 September 1997, and thereafter to the Conference of
Colleges.

ISIS INNOVATION LIMITED

2 South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3UB

Isis Innovation, a wholly-owned company of the
University, was established in 1988. The company has been
formed to exploit know-how arising out of research funded
by the UK Government through the Research Councils and
funded by other bodies where the rights are not tied. The
function of the company is to ensure that the results of
research bring rewards to Oxford, and to the inventors,
who are given a financial incentive for exploitation.

Isis seeks licensees willing to pay lump sums
and/or royalties for the use of know-how arising out of
research. Isis also exploits the intellectual property of
the University by setting up individual companies using
venture capital or development capital funds.

Isis'
services are also available to individuals who wish to
exploit the results of research supported by non-Research
Council sources, when there are no prior conditions on
the handling of the intellectual property rights. Isis
Innovation has at its disposal a small pre-seedcorn fund
for paying the costs of protecting intellectual property
rights and for taking work to a stage where its potential
can be assessed.

Isis finds industrial partners to ensure that new
ideas can be developed for market requirements. The
company has established the Oxford Innovation Society for
major industrial companies, so that they can have a
window on Oxford technology and an opportunity to license
and invest where appropriate.

A brochure explaining Isis' activities is
available. Please contact the above address, or the
telephone and fax numbers given below.

Members of the University should contact the
Managing Director if they wish to take advantage of the
services that Isis provides. (Telephone: (2)72411; fax:
(2)72412.)
