It must be notv observed that whereas the elections of proctors had hitherto been made by public canvassing, it pleased the king’s majesty to make them private and do¬ mestic. And that the said office might be equally distri¬ buted through every coll, according to an arithmetical pro¬ portion, a cycle of 23 years was by command of the king made. Which, while it revolves, sheweth how each coll, (from which the proctors are yearly to be taken) is to join till the year 1720 and after, and how many courses each college hath therein. Which cycle being remitted-into the statutes by the king’s authority, and afterwards published in a sheet of paper, together with such statutes that belong thereunto, the factious elections by canvassing, or public solicitations for suffrages (which oftentimes proved perni¬ cious to the university) were now (not too late) expired. The first proctors of the said cycle, called by some the Ca¬ roline cycle, were these. Proctors. Thom. Atkinson of St. Joh. coll. Will. Strode of Ch. Ch.
