A prospective Fellow must be voted on<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Governing Body by its current<br />
members, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> rules set out in <strong>the</strong> Statutes, and when his or her<br />
tenure expires, he or she may stand for re-election for a fur<strong>the</strong>r period.<br />
Fellows retire from <strong>the</strong> Governing Body when <strong>the</strong>y reach 67 years <strong>of</strong> age.<br />
The following categories <strong>of</strong> Fellow enjoy certain rights and privileges but<br />
<strong>the</strong>y are not members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Governing Body and thus have no powers<br />
relating <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> day <strong>to</strong> day business <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
HONORARY FELLOWS<br />
The Governing Body may, from time <strong>to</strong> time, vote <strong>to</strong> elect a distinguished<br />
person as an Honorary Fellow. This person is usually, but need not be, a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>College</strong> or <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> University. In order for <strong>the</strong> individual<br />
concerned <strong>to</strong> be elected, a significant majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Governing Body have <strong>to</strong> vote in favour <strong>of</strong> electing him or her, according<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> rules set out in <strong>the</strong> <strong>College</strong> Statutes.<br />

When a Fellow retires, or leaves <strong>the</strong> <strong>College</strong> having given valuable service<br />
over a significant period <strong>of</strong> time (20 years) <strong>the</strong> Governing body may vote<br />
<strong>to</strong> confer upon him or her <strong>the</strong> title <strong>of</strong> Emeritus Fellow.<br />
