Fellows of Senate

Student Fellows from 1936

While Senate was established in 1851, undergraduate students were not represented on Senate until 1936 - by elected graduates. From 1973 they were represented by elected candidates enrolled in a degree in the University.

Postgraduate students were represented on Senate from 1973 by elected candidates enrolled in a degree or diploma in the University.

1936 - 1972: Undergraduate students were represented on Senate by 'one Fellow who shall be a graduate of the University of such standing, and who shall be elected, as may from time to time be prescribed by by-law made by the Senate'
