1.4 THE COMBINATION ROOM 4
St Edmund’s College Combination Room (CR) is an association comprising all
scholar and student members who are in residence, but does not include
Fellows. The primary purpose of the CR is to promote the social welfare of
its members by providing amenities and facilities for them, and to maintain
and improve the physical, academic and social environment of St Edmund’s
College.
Spouses of CR members share all benefits though they are not liable for
CR fees.
In fulfilling its purpose, the CR maintains and facilitates communication
between its members and the College Council through its two elected
representatives to the Council. CR representatives also sit on some other
College committees. It also maintains links with other student organisations
in Cambridge.
All policies and programmes of action of the CR are determined at the
regularly scheduled meetings (noted in the College Calendar), which all
members and spouses are encouraged to attend.
4 This term is used to refer both to the main communal area of the College premises, and to
a subset of Members of the College. It is the latter sense which is discussed here.
