On the resignation of Mr. Watson in 1771, five Candidates offered themselves. The inconvenience of an Election by Grace became then so apparent, that, after a contest of two years, without any prospect of a Professor being appointed, the following Grace passed the Senate,

authorizing them to fill up the existing Vacancy by open Poll.

20 Nov. 1773. Lect. A.M. Concess. P. M.— Cum ii omnes, qui Chemiam in Academia excolere velint, incommodum haud leve sint percepturi ex diuturniore Muneris Professoris Chemiæ vacatione, neque a Majoribus nostris Electioni Professoris, cum plures exstiterint Competitores, satis commode provisum esse videatur ;

The mode of Electing the Professor of Chemistry is that observed in the Election of a Clerk to a Living. See p. 251.

The Person elected subscribes the Declaration of Conformity in the Vice-Chancellor's Book. See p. 238.

He takes the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, and the Vice-Chancellor administers to him the Oath of Office.
