The Fund
1. The Trust Fund founded in memory of Miss Gwynaeth Pretty shall be called the Gwynaeth Pretty

treatment of disease with particular, but not exclusive, reference to those diseases which cripple or
disable in childhood or early life.
2. The administration of the income of the Fund shall be entrusted to the Professor of Pathology in
conjunction with four other Managers. The other Managers shall be the Regius Professor of Physic,

who shall be nominated by the ex officio Managers and appointed by the Council in the Michaelmas
Term to serve for three years from 1 January next following.
3. No resolution of the Managers shall be valid unless approved by at least three Managers at a
meeting to which all the Managers have been summoned, but a resolution signed by all the Managers
shall have the same validity as a resolution carried at a meeting.
4. The income of the Trust Fund shall be applied from time to time for all or any of the following
purposes:
(a) to endow a Studentship to be called the Gwynaeth Pretty Studentship, the holder of which shall
undertake whole-time study and training for research in the aetiology, pathology, or treatment
of disease with particular, but not exclusive, reference to those diseases which cripple or disable
in childhood or early life;
(b) to further research in the aetiology, pathology, and treatment of disease by grants to defray the
cost of research or to purchase apparatus or material necessary for such research.
5. If at any time there is insufficient money available in the Fund to carry out effectively the objects
of the trust, it shall be lawful for the Managers to suspend the election to the Studentship and other
expenditure under Regulation 4(b) in order that the income may accumulate.
6. Additional moneys or securities may be accepted as additions to the Trust Fund or the Reserve
Fund, and the names of any donor or donors thereto may by Grace be incorporated in the title of the

The Studentship
7. The Studentship shall be of an annual value to be determined from time to time by the Managers,
and shall be tenable for three years. It shall not be awarded by competitive examination.
8. Candidature for the Studentship shall be open, but the Student, if not a member of the University,
must become such before the end of the term next after election and remain such during tenure.
9. Three months before the date at which the Studentship would become vacant, or immediately
upon the occurrence of any casual vacancy, the Professor of Pathology shall consult the other Managers,
and if it shall seem desirable to hold an election to the Studentship, the Professor shall give public
notice thereof inviting applications, and shall report upon the qualifications of all candidates whose
names are sent in. The Managers shall consider the Professor’s report and shall elect the person who
is in their opinion best qualified.
10. The income of the Studentship shall be payable to the Student from the date of appointment,
and shall be paid by equal quarterly payments, the payment for each quarter being made in advance.
11. The place and nature of the studies of the Student shall be subject to the approval of the
Professor of Pathology, provided that the Student shall be bound to study within the University unless
the Managers shall dispense with this requirement for special reasons. The Managers shall take such
steps as they may think necessary to satisfy themselves as to the diligence and progress of the Student,
and may require from the Student any reports or other information on the subject of his or her studies
which they may think desirable.
