Members then elected will hold office for three years from 1st March, 1932. The remaining ten members of the Senate were appointed by the Governor in Council. The Senate elects, at its first meeting held after the first Tuesday in March of every year, two of its members to be respectively Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of the University.

When so published, the Statutes have the force o f law in Queensland. Copies of every Statute must be laid before Parliament; and the House may annul any Statute wholly or in part without prejudice to the validity of anything done in the meantime under the provisions o f the Statute.
