of Cambridge, in conjunction with a Board consisting of three Managers.
The Regius Professor of Physic in the University of Cambridge, the Professor of Physiology in the
University of Cambridge, and the President of the Royal College of Physicians of London, shall be
the Managers.
No resolution of the Managers shall be valid unless approved by at least two Managers, at a meeting
to which all the Managers have been summoned, save that a resolution circulated to and signed by all
the Managers shall have the same validity as a resolution carried at a meeting.
2. In case a deputy shall be appointed to discharge the duties of any of the three Professors aforesaid,
such deputy shall, for all the purposes of these regulations, take the place and exercise the powers of
the Professor concerned while acting as deputy.
3. The income of the Fund shall be applied from time to time as follows:
(a) to provide one or more Studentships to be called John Lucas Walker Studentships the holders
of which shall be either Senior Students, who shall devote themselves to original research in
Pathology, or Junior Students, who shall devote themselves to whole-time study and training for
research in Pathology;
(b) after provision has been made for at least one Studentship, to further original research in
Pathology by Exhibitions, Prizes, or grants, at Cambridge or in London.

The Studentship
4. The value of a Senior Studentship and the value of a Junior Studentship shall be such sums as
may be determined by the Managers, within ranges approved by the Council, on each occasion on
which the Managers give notice of their intention to proceed to an election.
5. Three months before the date at which, in due course, the Studentship would become vacant, or
immediately upon the occurrence of any casual vacancy, the Professor of Pathology shall give such
public notice thereof as the Managers may think desirable; and the Professor of Pathology shall report
to the Managers upon the qualifications of all candidates whose names are sent in. The Professor of
Pathology shall at the same time nominate one of the candidates as the person best qualified, in his or
her opinion, for election, and the Managers shall either elect the person so nominated, or such other
of the candidates as the three Managers may unanimously agree to elect.
6. The nomination and election shall be made so that the newly elected Student may be able to
enter upon the Studentship as soon as the vacancy occurs, or as soon as is practicable.
7. The Studentship shall not be awarded upon the result of a competitive examination.
8. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the Professor of Pathology or the Managers may take such
steps as they may think fit to ascertain the qualifications of the candidates.
9. 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.
10. A Student during the tenure of the Studentship shall, if a Senior Student, undertake original
research in Pathology, or, if a Junior Student, undertake whole-time study and training for research in
Studentship.
