ROYAL CHARTER.

VICTORIA, by the grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, and so forth, to all unto whom these presents shall come, greeting. Whereas under and by virtue of the provisions of an Act made and passed in a session of Parliament holden in the eighth and ninth years of our reign, entitled, "An Act to enable Her Majesty to endow new Colleges for the advancement of learning in Ireland," we willed, ordained, constituted, established, declared, and appointed, that certain Colleges for the promotion and encouragement of learning should be established in Ireland, under the style and title following, that is to say, the Queen's College, Belfast, the Queen's College, Cork, and the Queen's College, Galway, for students in Arts, Law, Physic, and other useful learning; and whereas we deem it fit and necessary, in order to render complete and satisfactory the courses of education to be followed by students in said Colleges in the several Faculties aforesaid, that provision should be made by which such students should be enabled to obtain and receive the several degrees and distinctions in the aforesaid Faculties, such as are granted and conferred in other Colleges and Universities in our kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: Know ye, therefore, that we, of our special grace, certain knowledge, and mere motion, by and with the advice and consent of our right trusty and right entirely well-beloved cousin and councillor, George William Frederick, Earl of Clarendon, K. G. and G. C. B., our Lieutenant-General and

General Governor of that part of our said United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called Ireland, and according to the tenor and effect of our letter, under our privy signet and royal sign manual, bearing date at our Court of Saint James, the fifteenth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and fifty, in the fourteenth year of our reign, and now enrolled in the Rolls of our High Court of Chancery in that part of our said United Kingdom called Ireland, have willed, ordered, constituted, ordained, and founded, and by these presents, for us, our heirs and successors, we do will, order, constitute, ordain, and found an University, to be called "the Queen's University in Ireland," and that the same shall possess and exercise the full powers of granting all such degrees as are granted by other Universities or Colleges in the several Faculties of Arts, Medicine, and Law, to students who shall have completed in any one or other of the Colleges so founded as aforesaid the courses of education prescribed and directed for the several degrees in the manner and by the authority hereinafter described. And we do hereby direct and ordain that the said Queen's University in Ireland shall have its seat and hold its meetings in the city of Dublin, in such place as may from time to time be appointed for that purpose by warrant of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; and all degrees granted by the Senate of the University to students from the several Queen's Colleges in Ireland as aforesaid, shall be publicly granted and conferred in the Hall of the University in said city. And we further direct and ordain that, for the better regulation of the courses of instruction for degrees, and for conferring said degrees, and for promoting education and carrying out the objects of the foundation of the said University, the control and government thereof shall be vested in a Chancellor, who shall be the head and chief officer thereof, and shall preside over its meetings, and shall sign and authenticate all its official acts, and in a Senate consisting of not more than twenty persons, three thereof to be the Presidents for the time
