2. The Prize shall be awarded for the best original observations in Physiology or in any branch
thereof, that is to say, in Histology, Physiological Chemistry, or Physiological Physics, the word
Physiology being used in a wide sense. The observations must, however, be limited to research which
has been conducted by the candidate since the commencement of his or her first term of residence.
3. A candidate for the Prize (who need not necessarily be a graduate of the University) shall be:

Prize is to be awarded. Each of the Examiners nominated by the Faculty Board of Biology shall receive
from the Chest, except in cases where no exercise is sent in, such amount as may be determined by
the Faculty Board within a range approved from time to time by the Council. The Examiners shall
have power to nominate an Assessor or Assessors (not exceeding three in number) for appointment by
the General Board. Each Assessor so appointed shall receive from the Chest such sum as may be
