I N T R O D U C T I O N T O T H E STATUTES A N D R E G U L A T I O N S The last consolidation of the statutes and regulations of the Univer- sity, which came into operation on 25th October 1961, may be found in the 1961 University Calendar. The present volume contains the statutes and regulations in force incorporating Governor's Paper No. 793. Anno- tations appear at the end of each statute or regulation which has been enacted or amended since the consolidation. The annotations show the date of coming into operation of every enactment or amendment made since the consolidation, other than amendments of any section (or paragraph etc. as explained in the following paragraph) which has, since that amendment, been repealed in its entirety.
References in the annotations are to sections of statutes and regula- tions, except in the case of statutes 2.4.1, 2.5.1 and 3.5.1, and the schedules to regulations 6.72 and 7.75 which are respectively annotated to the level of paragraphs (S.2.4.1 and S.2.5.1), sub-paragraphs (S.3.5.1) and serial numbers (schedules to regulations 6.72 and 7.75).
It should be stressed that the dates shown are the dates in which particular enactments came into operation in their present form but not in principle. To take a simple example: The degree of master of Business Administration was instituted by the enactment of regulation 3.70 on 3rd February 1963. That regulation was wholly repealed and re-enacted with amendments on 16th March 1966. Accordingly the later date is shown in the annotation as the date of coming into operation of the regulation in its present form; but the earlier date is the date of the institution of the degree. However, had the regulation been simply amended, without complete repeal and re-enactment, the annotations would show its history of enactment and amendment in detail.
The full text of each amendment or enactment referred to in the annotations appears in the appropriate Governor's Paper, which may be ascertained by reference to its date of coming into operation as set out in the table below. Where a particular amendment or enactment was expressed to come into operation on a date different from that of the Governor's Paper in which it was contained, the number of. that Governor's Paper appears in the annotation.

N O T E : Major amendments to University legislation have been made since December 1974. Some of the more important changes, recorded in Governor's Paper No. 794 of 8th April 1975, are listed below.
1. Amendments made as a consequence of changes made to the Melbourne University Act 1958 by the Melbourne University (Amendment) Act 1974:
( a ) In the Act Convocation is now called Graduates of tlie University, its Standing Committee is now the Graduate Committee, and the Warden of Convocation has been renamed the President of tlie Graduates. These changes of name arc incorporated in these University statutes: Stat. 2.2—Convocation and its Standing Committee (m)w: Graduates of the University and the Graduate Committee); Stat. 1.2—Meetings; Stat. 2.4—The Faculties; Stat.
8.1—Elections to Council and Standing Committee by Convocation and to Council by Graduate Students and Undergraduates (now: Elections to Council and the Graduate Committee by Graduates of the University and to Council by Graduate Students and Undergraduates).
( b ) Stat. 8.2—Elections to Council by Professors and Members of the Teaching Staff other than Professors—was repealed and re-enacted at Stat. 8.2—Elections to Council by Members of Staff. The statute now provides that for the purposes of elections of members of Council by members of the stall there shall be three rolls—one for each of three categories: "members of the academic staff of the University who are entitled to rank as professors . . . (not being an associate professor or a professor emeritus)"; "members of the academic staff (other than the professors)"; and "members of staff, other than the academic staff, who have been designated as members of the University by the Council pursuant to section 4 of the Melbourne University Act".
2. T h e Faculty of Music:
Stat. 2.15—The University Conservatorium of Music—was repealed and re-enacted to discontinue the use of the name "University Conservatorium of Music". The re-enacted statute provides that:
" 1 . Practical instruction in Music in the University shall be undertaken under the authority of the faculty of Music.
2. Any reference in any statute or regulation of the University and any deed, certificate or other document issued by or under t h e authority of the University to the University Conservatorium of Music whether made before or after the commencement of this statute shall bo deemed to be a reference to the faculty of Music of the University."
As a consequence, the following University statutes and regulations have been amended:
Stat. 2.4; Reg. 3.58; Reg. 3.58A; Reg. 6.59; Reg. 6.72; Reg. 6.81; Reg.
