concerned, other than Linacre, for the loss (or in the case of Lady Margaret Hall, which is
somewhat better endowed than the others, part of the loss) that they have incurred as a result
of the abolition of the college fee for home/EU undergraduates, and in the case of Linacre,
and additionally in the case of St Edmund Hall and St Peter's, increase their general
endowment.
Text of Decree (2)
The following amounts shall be paid in 2001 to the college named in each case under the
provisions of Tit. XII, Sect. I, cl. 2 (b) (Statutes, 2000, p. 80) as grants for
the
enlargement of the permanent endowment of those colleges, provided that payment of the
grants to Green, Harris Manchester, and Mansfield Colleges shall not be made unless and
until

Council's Advisory Committee for Degrees by Diploma and Encaenia Honorary Degrees
gives
preliminary consideration both to proposals received from members of Congregation for the
conferment
of degrees upon royal personages and heads of state on occasions other than Encaenia, and
to proposals
for the conferment of Encaenia honorary degrees. The current membership of the committee
is: Professor
P.A. Slack, Principal of Linacre College, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Services and
University
Collections) (chairman); Mr B.R. Ward-Perkins, Trinity College (Assessor
20012, ex
officio); Mr L.N. Goldman, St Peter's College (Assessor 20001, ex
officio);
Professor J. Griffin, Balliol College (Public Orator, ex officio); Professor
D.J.H. Cockayne, Linacre College; Sir Marrack Goulding, Warden of St Antony's College;

Provost of
Queen's College; Dame Fiona Caldicott, Principal of Somerville College; Professor I.C.
Butler, Christ
Church; Professor K. Davies, Hertford College.
Members of Congregation who wish to make suggestions to the committee about honorary
degrees to
be conferred at the Encaenia in 2002 or degrees by diploma are asked to do so by sending
in proposals
which provide information under the following headings:
name of nominee;
brief biographical details;
reason for nomination.
Proposals should be sent to Miss Noon, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford OX1
2JD, under
strictly confidential cover, not later than Friday, 11 May 2001.

following
points:
(a) under Council's standing orders, no member of Council or of the
advisory committee

any honorary
degree unless he or she is prepared personally to recommend that the conferment of such a
degree be
seriously considered;
(b) while informal soundings within the University on any proposal
will often be
desirable, every effort should be made to ensure that publicity is not at any stage given to
any proposal
for the conferment of an honorary degree.
The Advisory Committee will report to Council just before the beginning of Michaelmas
Term,
submitting a short-list of candidates for further consideration. Council will then decide which
proposals
should be referred to its Committee on Honorary Degrees. The final list of proposed
honorands, drawn
up by Council in the light of the latter committee's report, will be submitted to Congregation
for
approval in accordance with the requirements of Tit. II, Sectt. VI and VIII

struggling young
readers.

ISIS INNOVATION LIMITED
Ewert House, Ewert Place, Summertown, Oxford OX2 7BZ
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. If you wish to receive a copy,
please contact
Isis (details below).
Members of the University should contact the Managing Director if they wish to take
advantage
of the services that Isis provides. (Telephone: (2)80830, fax: (2)80831, e-mail:
