The College and its Membership 9
Edmund’s as a college. Apart from the Bursar and the Dean, the senior
Fellows are not paid a salary by the College, but give their services
gratuitously and on a part-time basis. Any privileges of accommodation or
entertainment they may have are paid for by the College endowment,
which also contributes to overheads on their behalf.
The Fellowship comprises Fellows and Research Fellows. Fellows are

service to the College. Visiting Fellows are scholars of professorial standing
