"The Syndicate appointed to confer with Mr. Basevi respecting alterations in his design for the Fitzwilliam Museum, and to make the requisite arrangements for the commencement of the building, with a view to their being submitted to the approbation of the Senate, beg leave to report:

In consequence of a statement made to them by Mr. Basevi, that an additional depth of ground would be required to give full effect to his proposed design for the Fitzwilliam Museum, they opened a negotiation with the Master and Fellows of St. Peter's college for the purchase and exchange of such portions of the ground belonging to the college, and to the University, as in the judgment of the architect were considered the most calculated to secure the object in view:

The Syndicate, after a long negotiation, finally agreed to submit the following proposals to the college, which have been accepted by them, subject to the approbation of the Senate:

1. To make the western boundary of the site parallel to the line of the street throughout its whole extent, at the distance of 162 feet from it; the actual buildings of the Fitzwilliam Museum being confined to a distance of 155 feet from the street.

2. To make the northern boundary of the site perpendicular to the street for the whole depth of 162 feet, commencing at the distance of 29 feet 11 in. to the south of the present northern extremity, next the street, of the ground belonging to the University: That portion of the ground belonging to the University included between the proposed new northern boundary, the street, and the college garden, being ceded to the Master and Fellows of St. Peter's college.

3. The walls or palisadings for bounding and fencing the ground belonging to the University, to be erected by the University, and upon the University ground.

4. And whereas, by a clause in the Deed of Conveyance of the ground from the College to the University, the Master and Fellows of St. Peter's college covenant to take down and remove all buildings between the college and the

ground belonging to the University, as soon as the Museum shall be erected, and to convert the space occupied by them into the college garden, for ever. It is proposed to relax the aforesaid clause so far and so far only, as to allow of the erection of strictly Collegiate buildings, (such as a Master's Lodge, Hall, Chapel, Library, or Students' Rooms,) not nearer than 15 feet from the ground belonging to, or to be conveyed to, the University, or upon such spaces as are marked down upon a plan furnished by Mr. Basevi.

5. To pay the Master and Fellows of St. Peter's college, from the Fitzwilliam funds, one thousand pounds."
