Criteria
Originating in a proposal put to Council in 1973, the Court of Honour exists to both honour its members and provide advice to Council.
From time to time, Council will elect Members of the Court of Honour. Candidates will be nominated and seconded by Members of Council. Election will be by three quarters of Council present.
Members of the Court will be chosen from those who have shown continuing personal interest in the College. They may include benefactors and past officers of the College.
The numbers of the Court of Honour shall be determined by Council from time to time.
