Scope and content

Christ's College Lodge - JC has read WW's recommendations regarding the statute respecting the Professors, and as far as he can see, WW has met every point that has been suggested. JC gives suggestions regarding the power of the electors: 1. 'Would it be well to reserve this power [to make changes to the statute] to the electors in the statute? 2. 'Would it also be desirable to impose upon the electors a periodical visitational duty'. 3. 'Would it be right expressly to recognise the power of any one of the electors to hold these Professorships?' 4. 'Might the Vice-Chancellor be asked to print (privately) the statute as it is suggested to be drawn, and to send it round to the electors?'
