EXAMINATION SCHOOLS
Accommodation for Lectures
Hilary Term 1997
The Chairman of the Curators of the Schools would be grateful if
Professors, Readers, and University Lecturers who wish to lecture
at the Schools in Hilary Term 1997 could inform the Clerk of the
Schools at the end of the present term. It is necessary to know
whether a room suitable for an audience of more than one hundred
persons is required; only the three large writing-schools will
accommodate more than that number.
Leave for the use of rooms for lectures will expire at the
end of the seventh week of Hilary Term.
Afternoon lectures should normally finish by 6 p.m.
Attention is drawn to the fact that overhead projection
equipment and 35-mm projectors are available. When these
facilities are required the Clerk of the Schools should be
notified in advance.
