Excerpt from Report and Evidence Upon the Recommendations of Her Majesty's Commissioners for Inquiring Into the State of the University of Oxford: Presented to the Board of Heads of Houses and Proctors December 1, 1853 We will now sum up the chief recommendations which we have thought it our duty to lay before Your Majesty, with a view to restore the University and the Colleges to a sounder condition, and to render their great resources more serviceable to Education and to Learning. We are of opinion: - 1. That the University should receive an indemnification in case it has exceeded its power in altering the Laudian Code, and should henceforth have full authority to make, abrogate, or alter Statutes, with the exception of a few Fundamental Articles not to be altered without the consent of the Crown or some other superior authority. 2. That the right of initiating measures should be confided to a body comprising Professors and other Academical Teachers as well as the Members of the Hebdomadal Board.
