Official 1886 return details how Oxford and Cambridge sustain teaching across their faculties.

This edition compiles the government inquiry into university offices, salaries, duties, endowments, and statutes. It covers professorships, readerships, lectureships, and fellowships, with schedules that map each post to its scope and historical context.

The document frames what the universities reported about staffing, finances, and governance. It includes lists of current chairs, lecturers, and administrative duties, plus statutory changes enacted by Oxford in the early 1880s. A portion focuses on Cambridge outcomes, from lecture counts to museum and laboratory roles, and practical notes on how funds flow to sustain instruction.
