To the Right Worshipful The Heads of the respective Colleges and Halls OF THE University of Oxford.  
YOU are desired to signify to your Societies, and remind them, That during the Solemnity now approaching, on the twenty first day of May, All Doctors are to wear their Scarlet Gowns, and that the Convention will begin at three of the clock in the Afternoon, after the ringing of the little Bell at St. Mary's.  
You are farther desired to let them know, That the rising Semicircle of the Theatre is reserved for Noblemen and Doctors; The Gallery beyond the Doctors, in the Circular part of the Theatre, will be the place of Masters. The side Gallery Westward, is reserved for the Strangers: That Eastward also for Strangers. The Galleries in the Front for Ladies and Gentlewomen. The upper Gallery above the Masters, is appointed for Gentlemen-Commoners and Bachelors. Those above the Strangers, for Under-Graduate Scholars of Houses and Commoners. That above the Ladies for the performances of Music. The Area, for Batlers, Servitors, and persons of promiscuous quality, who are not to be admitted till their Royal Highnesses and their Train have seated themselves.  
The Noblemen and Doctors are desired to meet the Vicechancellor in the Apodyterium at three of the Clock, in the Afternoon. The Pro-Procters at one.  
For preserving of Order, there are beside the Curators of the Theatre, appointed several Proctors of it; who according to the Statute in that behalf, are to take care the public peace be kept undisturbed; and that all persons be placed in their aforesaid Stations, for whose assistance there are assigned several Officers and Doorkeepers, to be subservient to them, and execute their Commands.  
It is strictly required during the time of this Solemnity, All persons do appear in their Gowns and Caps: and particularly, all Undergraduates, and Bachelors of Arts, comport themselves with that sobriety and modesty, as may tend to the reputation and honour of the University, upon pain of being put in the Black Book, and otherwise proceeded against, as the exigence of their faults shall require.  
Withal it is required, That no person below the condition of a Gentleman or Fellow-Commoner, shall presume to wear a silk Cap; and that none pretend to a place beyond that which really belongs to him.  
And it is farther ordered, That no Scholar resident in the University of what Condition soever, shall be admitted into the Theatre, who is not in his Gown and Cap.
