Other improvements included renovations to the Chapel - keeping it sound for decades to come - significant upgrading of the College's accomodation in Malcolm Street and Jesus Lane; a major refurbishement of the Boat House; the Chapter House and Song School projects in Cloisters; the endowment and funding of teaching posts; support for undergraduates students through the funding of bursaries either endowed or through the Annual Fund and funding likewise for postgraduate scholarships.
