rrillE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the
JL ELECTION of the EARL OF FOWIS to the Chancellorship
of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE-
MENT to the Members of the Senate:—
When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne •
cessary to consider the appointment of a successor, it was deemed
desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be sapposed to
be most acceptable to the general body of the Senate, and to repre-
sent the opinions of the majority of its members.
The interestwhich the Earl of Yowls had uniformly displayed in all
that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by his
education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with
our academic institutions—the independence of his character and
position—the zeal and energy which he has exhibited in forwarding
the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual support of her
claims, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Uni-
versity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain
his Lordship's consent to be put in nomination for the high office of
Chancellor.
The Earl of Fowls at once acceded to the request, and the favour-
able tiliiiner hi-which his Lordship's name has been received assures
this ecundittee that the same considerations which led to the lint in-
vitation to. Lord Fowls will secure the warm and hearty support of
all Who feel how important it is to the University that their Chancel-
lor should possess these qualities for which the Earl of Fowls is so
eminently distinguished.
The ELECTION will take place in the Senate House, on THURS-
DAY, Feb. 25. at Ten o'clock A.H.
The Committee trust that the non-resident members of the Senate
will he prepared to give their votes for Lord Pawls, in case of an
opposition.
Arrangements will be made for the accommodation and convey.
ance of non-resident voters.
The Committee sit daily, at Mr. Elliott Smith's Rooms, Trinity-
street.
Communications may be addressed to the Rev. R. Williams, of
King's College; or to the Rev. F. France, Honorary Secretary.
Signed in behalf of the Committee,
