THE JOHN STEWART OF RANNOCH SACRED MUSIC FUND AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Endowments, 1904, p. 335
1. The Managers of the John Stewart of Rannoch Sacred Music Fund shall be the Faculty Board of
Music.
2. The first charge on the income of the Fund shall be provision, if there are candidates of sufficient
merit, for the award in each year of at least two Scholarships in Sacred Music. The Scholarships shall
be awarded on the results of a competitive examination.
3. The scheme of examination shall consist of:
(a) a dissertation of not less than 5,000 words and not more than 10,000 words on a topic in the
field of sacred music proposed by the candidate and approved by the Managers;
(b) a viva voce examination on the dissertation, which may also include ear-tests, keyboard-tests,
and such other tests as the Examiners deem to be desirable.
4. Candidature shall be open to any student resident in the University, provided that at the time of
the examination not more than twelve complete terms will have passed after his or her first term of
residence. Each candidate shall send the proposed subject of his or her dissertation to the Secretary of
the Faculty Board of Music not later than the end of the third quarter of the Michaelmas Term; a
candidate who wishes to claim preference under Regulation 7 shall submit at the same time a certificate
of his or her place of birth. The Secretary of the Faculty Board shall communicate each candidate’s
proposed subject to the Managers, and shall inform the candidate not later than the last day of the
Michaelmas Term of its approval or rejection by them.
5. Candidates shall send their dissertations to the Secretary of the Faculty Board so as to arrive not
later than the last day of Full Lent Term; each dissertation shall be accompanied by a statement
certifying that it is the candidate’s own original work. The viva voce examination shall be held in the
Easter Term, not later than the division of term.
6. The examination shall be conducted by two Examiners appointed in the Michaelmas Term on
the nomination of the Managers. Each Examiner shall receive from the Fund, unless there are no
candidates, such amount as may be determined by the Managers within a range approved from time
to time by the Council. In addition to the foregoing payments, an external Examiner as defined in the
regulations for payments to Examiners and Assessors shall receive a payment of such sum, unless
there are no candidates, as shall be determined by the Managers within a range approved from time to
time by the Council. All other expenses of the examination shall be defrayed out of the Fund.
7. If two or more candidates show equal proficiency preference shall be given to natives of the
counties of Wilts, Somerset, or Gloucester, including the city and county of Bristol.
8. A Scholarship shall be tenable for three years from 1 October preceding the award. The Managers
shall be empowered to renew the tenure for a fourth year, but for no longer.
9. The annual value of each Scholarship shall be such sum as shall be determined by the Managers
within a range approved from time to time by the Council.
10. At the end of the Easter Term in which the election is held, each newly elected Scholar shall
be entitled to receive one year’s emolument of the Scholarship. In succeeding years the emolument
shall be paid in equal termly instalments, provided that no payment shall be made in respect of any
term unless the Scholar has kept the term or has pursued a course of study or research approved by
the Managers.
11. After provision has been made for the Scholarships in accordance with Regulation 2 any
unexpended income accumulated in the Fund shall be applied from time to time, at the discretion of
the Managers and subject to such conditions as they may think fit,
(a) to make grants to Scholars or other persons engaged in the study of Sacred Music;
(b) to defray, in whole or in part, expenses incurred by Graduate Students in pursuing research
projects in Sacred Music;
(c) to make purchases of books, musical instruments, and other material for the Faculty of Music;
(d) to assist in any other way the promotion and encouragement of the study of Sacred Music in the
University.
