II. It shall be the duty of the Senatus Academicus

(1) To receive and decide upon all applications for admission to prosecute special study or research.

(2) To prepare a list of all persons so admitted (hereinafter referred to as Research Students).

(3) To make regulations for the supervision of their work. (4) To satisfy themselves from time to time that the Research Students are carrying on their work in the University in a satisfactory manner.

(5) To suspend or exclude from any course any student whose conduct or progress is unsatisfactory.

III. Every applicant for admission must send in to the Senatus Academicus a written application stating any degree or other distinction which he has already obtained, the line of study or research which he wishes to prosecute and the probable period of its duration, together with evidence as to his character, capacity, and general qualifications.

IV. Any application for admission shall be in the first instance referred by the Senatus Academicus to the appropriate Faculty, or to a Committee appointed by the Senatus; one member of the Committee shall always be a Professor or Lecturer within whose department the proposed line of study or research falls. No applicant shall be recommended by the Faculty or the Committee who has not satisfied them by examination or otherwise that he is qualified to prosecute the proposed line of study or research, and further

(a) That his proposed line of study or research is a fit and

proper one;

(b) That he possesses a good general education;

(c) That he is of good character;

(d) That he proposes to prosecute his studies or research during a period to be approved by the Senatus Academicus.

The Faculty or the Committee shall make a report to the Senatus Academicus upon each application. It shall also be their duty, subject to the regulations of the Senatus Academicus, to provide for the supervision of the Research Student's work, and to report at least once a year to the Senatus as to his progress and conduct. The Senatus shall then determine whether he shall remain a Research Student.

V. Every Research Student shall be required to matriculate each year, paying the ordinary fee.

VI. Research Students shall have access to and the use of the University Laboratories and Museums, under such conditions as to payment and otherwise as the University Court, after consultation with the Senatus Academicus, may determine.

VII. The title of Research Fellow may be conferred by the Senatus Academicus, with the approval of the University Court, on Research Students who have shown special distinction. Such title shall not of itself confer any right to stipend, but it shall be in the power of the University Court to provide a stipend of such amount and for such period as it may think fit to any Research Fellow under the powers of Section IV., sub-section 2, of Ordinance numbered 46.

VIII. (1) The Research Fellows shall be appointed as aforesaid after consideration of the report or reports submitted in terms of Section IV. hereof.

(2) The title of Research Fellow may be conferred either at the commencement of the Research Student's course of study or research, or at any time during its progress, as the Senatus Academicus may determine.

(3) Research Fellows shall retain their title and stipend,

if any, for the period during which they are engaged in special study or research in the University, and no longer. (4) Research Students who have been appointed Research Fellows shall continue to be subject to the conditions above prescribed as to the supervision of their work and the reports to be made thereon.

IX. Nothing herein contained shall prejudice the right of Research Students to such Fellowships, Scholarships, or Prizes as may be open to them by Ordinance or Deed of Foundation.

X. The University Court may, subject to the provisions of Section IV., sub-section 2, of Ordinance numbered 46, provide such sums as it may think fit in aid of the expenses of Special Study or Research.
