Powers to remove difficulties

If any difficulty arises with respect to the establishment of the University or in connection with the first meeting of any authority of the university or otherwise in first giving effect to the provisions of this Act, the Government may, at any time, before any authority of the University has been constituted, by order, make any appointment or do anything, consistent, so far as may be, with the provisions of this Act, which appears to it necessary or expedient for the purposes of removing the difficulty and every such Order shall have effect as if such appointment or action had been made or taken in the manner provided in this Act. The number and value of fellowships, scholarships, medals and prizes to be awarded shall be determined by the Executive Council either on its own initiative or on the recommendations of the Academic Council or Finance Committee.
