2. The capital and income of the Fund shall be applied as the Cavendish Professor of Physics may
from time to time decide:
(a) to enable a Graduate Student in the Cavendish Laboratory to continue research at the end of the
period for which he or she was originally awarded an emolument if in the opinion of the Professor
the particular project merits such support;
(b) to defray the expenses of Graduate Students and other research workers in the Cavendish
Laboratory when attending conferences or visiting or working in other laboratories outside
Cambridge;
(c) to contribute to the cost of any project which, in the opinion of the Cavendish Professor, would
be of lasting benefit to the Cavendish Laboratory and would appropriately commemorate the
name and work of James Clerk Maxwell.
Application.
CLERK MAXWELL SCHOLARSHIP
Endowments, 1904, p. 340
1. The income of the Clerk Maxwell Fund shall be used to maintain one or more Clerk Maxwell
Scholarships in connection with the Cavendish Laboratory, for the advancement by original research
of Experimental Physics, especially Electricity, Magnetism, and Heat.
2. The person elected to the Scholarship shall be called the Clerk Maxwell Student in Experimental
Physics.
3. Any member of the University who has been a student for one term or more in the Cavendish
Laboratory shall be eligible for the Scholarship.
4. The Electors to the Scholarship shall be the Cavendish Professor of Physics and the Lucasian
Professor of Mathematics, and in case of any difference of opinion between them the final decision
shall rest with the Master of Trinity College or with someone specially appointed by the Master for
this purpose.
5. In case a deputy shall be appointed to discharge the duties of either of the two Professors
aforesaid, such deputy shall, for all the purposes of these regulations, take the place and exercise the
powers of the Professor concerned, during such time as he or she may be acting as such deputy.
6. The Electors in electing the Scholar shall be guided by the promise shown by the candidates of
capacity for original research in Experimental Physics, and shall take such steps as they may think
desirable to enable them to form a judgement of such promise.
7. The Scholar so elected shall undertake under the direction of the Cavendish Professor original
research in Experimental Physics within the University, but may carry on research elsewhere with the
written permission of the Cavendish Professor.
8. The commencing date and duration of tenure of the Scholarship shall be determined by the
Electors, and the holder shall be eligible for re-election, provided that a Scholar’s total tenure of the
Scholarship shall not exceed three years.
9. The stipend of the Scholar shall be such sum not exceeding the available income of the Fund as
may be determined by the Electors, within a range approved from time to time by the Council, after
they have taken account of any other financial resources that may be available to the Scholar. The
stipend shall be paid to the Scholar in equal quarterly instalments in advance.
10. The Scholar shall not during the tenure of the Scholarship systematically follow any business
or profession or engage in any educational or other work which in the opinion of the Cavendish and
Lucasian Professors would interfere with his or her duties as Scholar.
11. If the Cavendish Professor and the Lucasian Professor shall be of opinion that the Scholar by
engaging in some business or occupation or from confirmed ill health or want of diligence, or from
other causes, is not fulfilling the conditions of the Scholarship, they shall report their opinion to the
Faculty Board of Physics and Chemistry, and the Board may then if they see fit remove the Scholar
from the Scholarship.
12. Not later than one month before the date at which in due course the Scholarship becomes vacant
or immediately upon the occurrence of any casual vacancy the Cavendish Professor shall give such
public notice thereof as the Electors may think desirable. The election shall be made as soon after the
vacancy as is practicable, and the result communicated to the Vice-Chancellor for publication.
13. Any unexpended income accumulated in the Fund may be applied from time to time on the
recommendation of the Cavendish Professor to meet travelling and other expenses consistent with the
