| Description | Letter from W W Grave MA Ph.D from the University Registry, Cambridge
'Thank you for letter of 30 October in which you set out your interpretation of the Statutes relating to the election of Chancellor of the University.
You say in the last paragraph of your letter that you will assume my agreement unless you hear to the contrary, and I write therefore at once to say that I would rather take advice before I give you my final view. I gathered, however, that you wished in particular to be assured that in the absence of any information about the willingness of your coandidate to accept nomination, the election must proceed; with this I agree.
I take this opportunity of confirming what I told you about expenses arising from the circulation of nomation papers and fly sheets. The Council of the Senate have agreed that the cost of printing the nonimation papers, and of printing and circulation the flysheets issued befroe nomination day, shall be borne by the University. They do not, however, feel that the University should meet any further costs that may be incurred. You mentioned the possibility of further publications, and I think, therefore, that I should add that although, as you know, the University Press has a list of names and addresses of members of the Regent House and of resident members of the Senate, there is no single list of names and addresses of all the members of the Senate. If it should be thought desirable to communicate with members of the Senate away from Cambridge, you would have to arrange for the preparation of envelopes, and addresses would have to be ascertained from a collation of the most recent Register of the Senate with the Addresses given in the Parliamentary Register.
I am sending this information, also, to those responsible for the nomination of Lord Tedder.' |
