University Assistant Lectureships

Under amendments to the statutes made by grace of 16 March 1948 and approved by the King in Council in 1949, provision was made for the establishment of University Assistant Lectureships, to take the place of the former unofficial Faculty Assistant Lectureships. The terms of their appointment and tenure are the same as for Demonstrators.

Probationary Faculty Lecturers and Faculty Assistant Lecturers

The statutes of 1926 made provision for probationary Faculty Lecturers for periods not exceeding five years. The title was changed to Faculty Assistant Lecturer by an amendment of statute made by grace of 10 March 1934, approved by the King in Council on 23 July 1934. Under Emergency Statute V, made by grace of 25 May 1940, the General Board was empowered to re-appoint Faculty Assistant Lecturers notwithstanding the 5-year limit on tenure. On the creation in 1949 of the office of University Assistant Lecturer, several Faculty Assistant Lecturers (designated by an asterisk in the following list) were appointed to the new post. For a fuller account of the status, and privileges of Probationary Faculty Lecturers and Faculty Assistant Lecturers, see Historical Register Supplement V for 1951-55, pp. 28-9.

Associate Lectureships

Under amendments to the statutes made by grace of 13 March 1948 and approved by the King in Council in 1949 the University was empowered to establish and maintain such Associate Lectureships as it might from time to time determine. The conditions of appointment and re-appointment, and the tenure, are as for University Lectureships but the office is not recognised as a University Teaching Office for the purposes of the statutes, and holders were not qualified for reserved fellowships.
